  1. Did you learn anything from online courses?

    CrazyPremed posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hello everyone, I finished Bio 205 - Micro - online last week. I wanted to take it in person, but I couldn't get into a class until this fall. I decided to go the faster route, and took it through Rio...

  2. Online Bio classes @ Rio

    CrazyPremed replied to PaSsIoN_4_NuRsInG's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Try performing a search on the topic. There are a few posts about A & P through Rio and Micro. I just finished the Micro online at Rio and posted some info. Let me know if you have more questions....

  3. Did you learn anything from online courses?

    CrazyPremed replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Initially, I read each chapter, then the lessons, then practiced the CD (it's GREAT!!!). I nailed everything! Once my CNA classes started, and I signed up for HCC 130 and HCC 146, and I worked 50...

  4. Medical Laboratory Technologist

    CrazyPremed replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    I work in one of the Banner labs and I know that Phoenix College is starting an MLT program soon. If you have many of your AZ prereqs for nursing school, then you can walk right in! I would check it...

  5. Did you learn anything from online courses?

    CrazyPremed replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I felt the same way in Micro. I got the to point where I just memorized what I could. I also tried to learn the 'big picture', but many of our exam questions were on small details from the book...

  6. Did you learn anything from online courses?

    CrazyPremed replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The only two in-person requirements were the midterm and the final. Everything else is done online (essentially open-book!). Let me know if you have any more questions.

  7. Pay range for new grads...

    CrazyPremed replied to CrazyPremed's topic in General Nursing

    Is anyone there?

  8. Patient Etiquette

    CrazyPremed replied to brown252's topic in General Nursing

    I've been in a few (actually, only two) situations where females asked for care from other females (especially during my CNA clincals). I don't mind. There were some situations where I wish the pt...

  9. Patient Care Tech Programs?

    CrazyPremed replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Thanks for the info - it sounds like you have a lot of experience and will be a shoe-in for nursing school. If you don't mind me asking, which CC are you going to (you can pvt me if you want)? Maybe...

  10. How much did you make as a new grad?

    CrazyPremed replied to SerenityR.N.'s topic in General Nursing

    I think the OP is just doing some research. I think anyone going into any field should do the research before they jump in. Just because they are curious about starting salaries may not mean that they...

  11. Brittney Spears???

    CrazyPremed replied to Jennette's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm sure the majority of people on this board have heard of HIPAA - either from experience or from those lousy HCC courses that we need for school. No one should be talking about this - especially on...

  12. Testing out of HCC classes?

    CrazyPremed replied to arizona_zorie's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I've heard of a few people having problems testing out of them. Depending on your medical background, you may be able to. I've worked in hospitals for about five years, and I am bored out of my mind...

  13. Anyone taken BIO201 through Rio Salado?

    CrazyPremed replied to Continat's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I've noticed that many people have taken this class online, and I think that there are some areas on it. Try a search in this forum. Good luck! I just finished BIO 205 (Microbiology) through Rio...

  14. RN's that dont like showering? Whats with that?

    CrazyPremed replied to AussieKylie's topic in General Students

    I've read a great deal on this CNA vs. RN subject on this website. After reading this post, though, my thoughts have changed. I'll be applying to work as a CNA soon, and I think that I'll lay off the...

  15. Vegetarian being asked to dissect a cat !

    CrazyPremed replied to roxburin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Personally, I would feel short changed if the only A & P class offered forced me to dissect a cat. Most of us will be working with human beings, and you (the OP) should do what you can to find a...

  16. AZ IV Certification?

    CrazyPremed posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hello folks, I know that this is a little premature (I'm in the process of applying to nursing school) but I've seen some local places that require LPN's to be IV Certified. Where can this be...

  17. AZ IV Certification?

    CrazyPremed replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Arizona Nursing

    If any one is interested the class is NCE 223 (I think that it's offered at Gateway and MCC). I was worried about this too, because - according to the old info for LPN-RN Advanced Placement transfer...

  18. study guides on N.E.T./exams

    CrazyPremed replied to kkind4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello folks, Thanks for all of the help with the NET; I take it on Friday. At my school only the Math and Reading portions are needed for the nursing application, but we've got to take all of the...

  19. Any black male nurses out there?

    CrazyPremed replied to Spoiled1's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm black, male, and a soon to be nurse (applying this semester)!

  20. Anyone taking Rio's Micro right now?

    CrazyPremed posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hello folks. Is anyone taking BIO 205 Online through Rio Salado right now? The class is almost over, but it would be nice to have a study buddy. I'm doing pretty well in the class, if that helps at...

  21. Anyone taking Rio's Micro right now?

    CrazyPremed replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Arizona Nursing

    For anyone who read my last post about sailing through Microbiology Online... I just took the final and I worked me out pretty darn good!!! I think that I did OK, though. If anyone has any questions...

  22. CNA Question

    CrazyPremed replied to Soon2BNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I think that this is a great thread! It - obviously - has hit some nerves! I think that what Liz - and many other people - go through in medicine is common. One gets trained to do a job, performs that...

  23. AZ IV Certification?

    CrazyPremed replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I found the

  24. AZ IV Certification?

    CrazyPremed replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Is AZ IV Certification now part of nursing school? What about the EMT-I's that get it? Where do they go? Thanks in advance.

  25. What are you doing while you're waiting to get into NS

    CrazyPremed replied to boomerfriend's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm taking Phoenix College's Patient Care Tech program and FON 241 through Rio Salado. I also work at Banner. If you don't mind my asking, boomer, where are you volunteering? If you work for Banner at...
