    Best college for veteran

    MiladyMalarkey replied to Jqfoster's topic in Arizona Nursing

    If you are in Glendale why not try for Glendale Community College? Estrella is a good school too, but they only have 1 cohort (or about 30ish students) accepted to the program for each semester, GCC...

    What do I need for nursing school?

    MiladyMalarkey replied to Futaba90's topic in General Students

    First clinical nightmare

    MiladyMalarkey replied to Flylik3abr1's topic in General Students

    While not your fault, it is rather concerning a head to toe assessment was not one of the skills you were made to check off on in the very first few weeks of nursing school. How are you supposed to...

    MiladyMalarkey replied to nursinggirligirl's topic in General Students

    Second thoughts on becoming a nurse?

    MiladyMalarkey replied to cc290133's topic in General Students

    I second guess my choice to go to nursing school all the time when I don't feel confident about something or didn't do so well on a exam. I just think to myself, there is nothing else you want to do...

    Finish my degree or quit and do nursing

    MiladyMalarkey replied to ChristinaVL's topic in General Students

    My thoughts are that you probably have a year (maybe two) worth of pre-reqs to do still. You could go another year, get your BA in psych, but then have to do another year or two getting those...
