  3. Maricopa County nursing program questions

    mattsmom64 replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The accelerated programs are not part of the "lottery" system. Admission is usually based on GPA, interviews, essays, etc....If your GPA is high then you could actually be accepted for the following...

  5. Maricopa County nursing program questions

    mattsmom64 replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Arizona Nursing

  6. Maricopa County nursing program questions

    mattsmom64 replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Nutrition is no longer a pre-req so I am assuming that it will be incorporated into the program....Human Development also isn't a pre-req for the ADN programs but it is one for ASU....I hope this...

  8. Is it worth locking yourself into Banner for 3 years?

    mattsmom64 replied to MsBruiser's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The Banner program is a good opportunity but I guess youy would really have to ask yourself whether or not you want to be tied to them or not. My friend just graduated their program at Gateway in...

  9. What's the drop-out count so far?

    mattsmom64 replied to boomerfriend's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I think one of the biggest problems is that with Pharm and Assessment there was only 100 points total to be earned. To get 76 out of 100...that's a very small margin of error....We had 8 people fail...

  11. Best way to job hunt?

    mattsmom64 replied to PhoenixGirl's topic in Arizona Nursing

  14. Jury duty??

    mattsmom64 replied to Calzonan RN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hi Angie, You can either send in a deferrment now or wait until the day before your scheduled date to see whether or not your group gets called. I've been called about 5 times and have only had to...

  15. Jury duty??

    mattsmom64 replied to Calzonan RN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Gee Keli....I'd hate to see what is waiting for you after you get your ADN! I don't think you'll have a problem getting excused this time. I'm sure that even the courts have heard about the nursing...

  16. Jury duty??

    mattsmom64 replied to Calzonan RN's topic in Arizona Nursing

  17. Jury duty??

    mattsmom64 replied to Calzonan RN's topic in Arizona Nursing
