    boomerfriend replied to Calzonan RN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The accelerated programs that I know about are the ones through Banner/Gateway and SCC/Scottsdale Healthcare. I'll bet there's others but I just know that MCC doesn't offer an acclerated program any...

    boomerfriend replied to Calzonan RN's topic in Arizona Nursing

  5. associate or bachelor degree?! HELP!!!

    boomerfriend replied to daniellenichole's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the previous posts. It will be hard to go back and get your BSN after working for a while. One thing that hasn't been mentioned is that if you have your BSN, you can go on into...

  7. Tips on ASU BSN admission?

    boomerfriend replied to selaz's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I would talk with an advisor soon. Your GPA has to be reeeaallly high. It is a very competitive school. I, too, am going the ADN route and will continue on to get my BSN at ASU through their bridge...

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

    boomerfriend replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Don't feel bad. I didn't get in either. I put my app in this summer as well. My number is 119 so what's yours? I'm hopeful that something will shake out before classes begin in January. I'd love...

  10. Anyone else on the dreaded waiting list?

    boomerfriend replied to Lynski's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I, too, am on the dreaded "list". They do the first round of selections next Tuesday (Oct 4th). I'm trying not to think about it too much. I've got a pretty high number and my chances are good but...

  13. Microbiology - Fall 2005

    boomerfriend replied to maliat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    After our second lab of staining, someone else splattered Safranin on MY labcoat. I was sure glad I had one on. Lab coats, goggles and closed toed shoes were required in our labs. She even docked...

  14. For those of you waiting to get into MCC

    boomerfriend replied to Hoozdo's topic in Arizona Nursing

    It figures Apollo college would get on board eventually. Unfortunately, these programs tend to be expensive and don't transfer to ASU for BSN purposes. For someone that really wants to graduate ASAP...

  15. Did you learn anything from online courses?

    boomerfriend replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Aren't we all blessed to have so many forms of learning available to us these days? I just got to thinking about it and realized that there are many different ways we learn. I'm very visual. I get...

    My husband went ROTC through his college and then did 20 years in the USAF. We travelled, lived in three foreign countries, and 6 states. AF housing can be sub-standard and in others it can be...

  17. Brittney Spears???

    boomerfriend replied to Jennette's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You'd think that if she had a c-section, then she'd have to deal with a scar. I always thought recovery from a c-section was much longer than a vag birth. I don't know where her information is...

  18. Did you learn anything from online courses?

    boomerfriend replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I have never taken an online course and probably never will. I'm not that type of learner. I need the personal interaction in the classroom setting. I cannot learn as much from just reading. I...

  19. SCC Scottsdale Healthcare Educational Service Partnership

    boomerfriend replied to boomerfriend's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Mary, Thats sounds too easy. Just mark it as one of my choices, huh? North Scottsdale....do you mean the Shea & Thompson Peak Pkwy or Osborne? Osborne would be south I guess. Gee, that would be...

  20. SCC Scottsdale Healthcare Educational Service Partnership

    boomerfriend replied to boomerfriend's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yes, it is an accelerated program like Gateway/Banner. But like them, I'm guessing SCC/Scottsdale HC has their own application process. Good advice, Mary. I'll give them a call and see what turns...

    boomerfriend replied to AlwazAmbitious's topic in Male Nursing Students

    At our community college, we all wear a Carribean blue scrub top and white pants, shoes, underwear, socks. The top has the school emblem embroidered on the left chest area. At a glance, you can tell...

  22. First week paranoia.

    boomerfriend replied to TiffanyA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in Pathophysiology right now and our instructor touches on things we learned in A&P 1 and 2 and Microbiology. I figure if I don't remember, I'll do my research and look it up in my A&P...

  23. CC's still have openings for Fall?

    boomerfriend replied to mattsmom64's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hey, I've got an idea... Let's all go to the school and wait for them to post the list...kind of like camping out for tickets for a concert?

    boomerfriend posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    If you are waiting for a seat in the next nursing class, what are you doing with your "one to two semester" wait? I'm taking Patho, my humanities: Medical Bio-Ethics, and volunteering at Banner about...

  25. Abrazo Healthcare Nursing Program Accepting Applications

    boomerfriend replied to mattsmom64's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Ok, I'll be the dumb one... What's the difference between a diploma and ADN program? I thoroughly know what the ADN program is but what's the diploma thing? Can this be used to bridge to the BSN...
