Anyone here attending nursing school at estrella mountain or have that as one of their choices? Estrella is my first choice and gcc is my second, but I just got on the waitlist this month!

Yep, I was told by a nursing advisor this month that the wait is about a year now! Whether that means you would be starting block 1 a year from applying or being accepted into block 1 a year from applying I do not know. Either way, the wait has decre...

Just looking back on this thread it looks like people started to hear the first week of March. Good luck!

I'm a very punctual person and I'm always at least 10 minutes early to anything I'm supposed to be doing. If I got locked out of lecture after a break, after I was already there on time I would be pissed. Sometimes bathroom breaks can take a bit long...

Thanks for the feedback, I totally missed the part about the non-federal. I do also plan to apply for scholarships though so June is not an option for me to file that late!

Yea the more I've looked into it everything says the sooner you apply the more aid you can get. So better safe than sorry, I need all the aid I can get! FAFSA Tips and Common Mistakes to Avoid When Applying for Student Aid | EMCC

Hmmm I don't know still, the article in az central (I think it was) said to get your maximum aid amount you should apply before March. I'm going to have to follow up with the advisor to be sure because I need the maximum aid amount I can get!

I was under the impression (perhaps I'm wrong) that the sooner you apply your fafsa the better chance you have of getting aid? A person who applies in June or July could be risking that the school has already given out all the grants they can?

I just got an acer aspire switch 10 and love it. It's compact but not too small and the touch screen is nice. I also sometimes use it in tablet form of I'm just using it to read something at home.

Vaccines are not 100% effective but that doesn't mean they 0% effectiveness either...my son had two doses of varicella vaccine (99% effective) my daughter had one dose (80% effective) and they both caught chicken pox from somewhere. My son had two, j...

My choices are Glendale traditional, Glendale evening weekend, Phoenix traditional, Estrella, and gateway evening weekend.

I am not eligible for CEP yet as I don't have all the pre reqs for any of the universities to be able to apply (and still unsure if I want to start that right away or wait til block 3 or after graduation) My time stamp is August 2014 but the nursing ...

Question about the fafsa...should one select all the colleges on their fafsa that are their choices on the wait list since you don't know which one you'll get into? I've only ever had to fill it out for one school at a time because I always knew wher...

Does anyone know when they will start regular waitlist placements for fall?

I vaccinate my two kids, they are both up to date on the schedule however in their infant years when they were to receive more than two vaccines at a time, we chose to spread them out. So they'd get a vaccine and we'd come back a couple weeks later f...

This link has the GCC cohort days and clinical times, keep in mind they can change from semester to semester: http://www2.gccaz.edu/sites/default/files/imce/Academic_Departments/Nursing/block_1_cohort_course_schedules_sections_and_directions_on_how_t...

If you are applying to CEP I would think you are likely to get in next fall as long as your GPA and Hesi scores are decent. They have said the CEP program is not as popular now so there are a lot of spots.

I first felt called towards it after giving birth to my son, I was 22. After I had my daughter at 25 I knew i wanted to do nursing and possibly pursue midwifery and I started taking classes a year after my daughter was born.

I could've written this myself but for my A&P class. It's a bunch of immature adults complaining about their grade (then do something about it!) and the teacher and whatever they can. They come to class with the worst attitude and are disrespectf...

Thanks! Something to look forward to then :)

I had not heard this before! That's great to hear since I am still pondering the CEP program (as you know from my other posts in the AZ board) but I think I'd much rather have the first year under my belt before adding more workload while still exped...

I always search for my books on Amazon before looking anywhere else. Except for one custom book for our school (I hate when they do that because it's such a waste of a LOT of money!) I've been able to rent all of mine from Amazon for a fraction of th...

I was responding directly to someone who assumed that those who do not choose circumcision for their infant sons would also not give them information on it. (This is why I directly quoted them). I was pointing out to that person that me and many othe...

My son will most certainly be presented with the facts and will be allowed to make the decision for himself. And we will have many conversations about it with him. To our family, the "benefits" of having it done on him as an infant did NOT outweigh t...

To me there is an incredibly huge difference between chopping off something that cannot be replaced and a cosmetic piercing that can heal. If a girl grows up and chooses not to wear earrings, she does not have to, and more often than not the holes do...
