  1. Patho going away next semester?

    Calzonan RN replied to boomerfriend's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I know and that is what I keep telling myself, that the more knowledge the better. It still doesn't make sense to me that they cut out the requirements the semester before the incorporate them, since...

  2. Patho going away next semester?

    Calzonan RN replied to boomerfriend's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I had heard that it was going to be incorporated into Fall '06 and not a co-req anymore, same with FON. Bummer part is that I figured I'd get in to the spring class so I'm taking both those classes...

  3. More than 55 slots droped from MCC's NS's

    Calzonan RN replied to Calzonan RN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Anytime, I'm like that. I have to search out the answers to give myself either some hope, or for me to start making alternative plans. That may be a reason, 'cause it seems like almost all of the...

  4. Um, HEEELLLOOO!!! Did you guys get in???

    Calzonan RN replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Good point about the skills centers. I really wish I had known about them when I started all this. Unfortunately, at the Maricopa colleges you can't even apply until you're in your last semester of...

  5. I'm so upset, I didn't get into nursing school this spring

    Calzonan RN posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I live in AZ and the wait for NS is usually about one semester, some people don't even wait that. I applied this summer for Fall, and of course, didn't get in, but I didn't expect to because of the...

  6. I'm so upset, I didn't get into nursing school this spring

    Calzonan RN replied to Calzonan RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Great ideas everyone. I wonder if I can also use the fact that pretty much no one who applied during summer application week got into the spring classes (I think only 7 or 8 of the summer...

  7. Um, HEEELLLOOO!!! Did you guys get in???

    Calzonan RN replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Actually it would be a really nice 40th birthday present for me, my birthday is Dec 22nd. But I'd love to know something sooner, YKWIM? By the end of Dec. I'll just be REALLY disappointed and bummed...

  8. Um, HEEELLLOOO!!! Did you guys get in???

    Calzonan RN replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Thanks Mary, I'm trying to remain hopeful, but it's going to be really hard waiting every Tues until the middle of January, hoping I'll get in. My friend got in at MCC too, so maybe you can be study...

  9. Um, HEEELLLOOO!!! Did you guys get in???

    Calzonan RN replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm sorry, I know how you feel. But I'm even worse off right now, my number is 141, and the only two programs that will work for me only admitted 20 students each. I really don't think there's much...

  10. I'm so upset, I didn't get into nursing school this spring

    Calzonan RN replied to Calzonan RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's exactly it!! What really makes me mad is I've worked really hard to maintain a high GPA, and it makes no difference. That and the schools have a really high drop-out/flunk-out rate so...

  11. Um, HEEELLLOOO!!! Did you guys get in???

    Calzonan RN replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Thanks guys, I knew if anyone would understand you would. I know it's a possibility that some people may not accept etc., but my number is so high it would take over 100 people to not accept for me...

  12. Um, HEEELLLOOO!!! Did you guys get in???

    Calzonan RN replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I haven't been on here because I've been in a serious depression about this. I didn't get in. After working almost two years on my pre-req's and maintaining a pretty high GPA, none of it matters,...

  13. I'm so upset, I didn't get into nursing school this spring

    Calzonan RN replied to Calzonan RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There's nothing I can do to help my chances, that's what is so frustrating, you give them your application and it's all up to a computer!! The only way I may get placed is if someone defers or does...

  14. I'm so upset, I didn't get into nursing school this spring

    Calzonan RN replied to Calzonan RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did take the NET, nothing helps, just doing the pre-req's and getting your CNA and you can apply and be put in the lottery. Out of 186 people who applied this summer, I was number 141, thanks to...

  15. Help! Need answers quickly about class sign up

    Calzonan RN posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Spring semester class registration begins tomorrow, but they don't release nursing school slots until Tues. How does this work? Do you request your classes (if you get a NS slot) during orientation,...

    Thanks for all of your answers!!! I guess we'll know a little more in about 14 hours :w00t: :biere: :yelclap: :cheers:

  17. Help! Need answers quickly about class sign up

    Calzonan RN replied to Calzonan RN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The typical wait is one to two semesters. My friend put her name down last March and should get placed tomorrow. I put my ap in June 6th, and may not get placed, so that will be a two semester wait...

  18. Help! Need answers quickly about class sign up

    Calzonan RN replied to Calzonan RN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    "The run" is tomorrow when they start placing nursing students for the spring semester. A computer automatically generates your slot based on what your choices for NS's are and a lottery number...

  19. Help! Need answers quickly about class sign up

    Calzonan RN replied to Calzonan RN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I was told they'll start the run sometime between 12 and 1 PM. I plan on being on my computer at around 11:15 and pushing the refresh button, what, like every second or so? Yeah. That's the plan....

  20. Help! Need answers quickly about class sign up

    Calzonan RN replied to Calzonan RN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hi Mary, Yeah, my friend put down MCC as her first choice. I can't believe they don't let you put down which clinicals you want. From what I understand they have a night clinical (which is the one...

  21. Anyone here go to Glendale community college?

    Calzonan RN replied to ARIZONA_RN_STUDENT's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Wow Lu Ann, congratulations!! I'm debating about staying in AZ when I graduate or moving to CO. I'm so tired of the heat!!! I've lived in CO before so I know what it's like and I MISS TREES!!!...

  22. Hello AZZzzzz....

    Calzonan RN replied to cardiacRN2006's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Okay, now I'm getting worried. I just put GCC p/t program down as my first choice for spring. Is the pt program as hard during block 4 as the full-time? Do they use some of the same instructors?...

  23. Moving to AZ looking for good school for kids

    Calzonan RN replied to nursewanab's topic in Arizona Nursing

    My neighbors kids go to a Catholic school and I'm sure she's more than happy with it. It's in Mesa though, which would be an easy commute to Sky Harbor. She is a certified speech therapist and works...

  24. For those of you waiting to get into MCC

    Calzonan RN replied to Hoozdo's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I spoke with Pima this summer and they do have a nursing program. The unfortunate part is it's about $30,000 and they only accept about five of the pre-req's you've already finished (if you're on the...

  25. Did you learn anything from online courses?

    Calzonan RN replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I talked to a councelor about the nursing program at Rio and she said out of, I think, 12 graduates in May, 8 or 9 of them had taken the NCLEX and all had passed. I thought that Rio's 201/202 classes...
