    Thanks for the time lines... The long wait

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

    boomerfriend replied to boomerfriend's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Thanks for asking. I'm starting at Banner Desert tomorrow at 4C. I can only carve out a few hours a week to volunteer. Tuition reimbursement sounds very attractive but cannot manage 20 hours of...

  3. Microbiology - Fall 2005

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

    I took Micro last semester and we used Tortora (sp?) textbooks. I fortunately borrowed mine from a friend. Hint: look up your bacteria on Google images. It helped a lot because the pictures in the...

  4. Mirco and A&PII

    boomerfriend replied to Butterfly3001's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P II and Micro together last semester and pulled A's in both. It was hard work. They are like taking four classes because of the labs involved. My instructor for A&P II was...

  5. CC's still have openings for Fall?

    boomerfriend replied to mattsmom64's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Mary, you're right. They WANT us to KNOW this stuff, right? I mean, we are supposed to learn the material and be able to put it into practice. If you don't understand the stuff and barely pass the...

  6. CC's still have openings for Fall?

    boomerfriend replied to mattsmom64's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm going to take this back to the beginning... So how do they think that the new students coming in are going to be able to pass these kinds of classes without taking Pathophysiology as a separate...

  7. Medical Missions Trips?

    boomerfriend replied to newflgrad's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so excited to see there was a thread on this subject. I am going on a medical missions trip this November with some folks from my church. I'm a pre-nursing student and will be helping out...

  8. anyone worked at the Mayo Clinic Hospital?

    boomerfriend replied to nurse rnfa's topic in Arizona Nursing

    A friend of mine works at Mayo and Thunderbird as a Respiratory Therapist. She said Mayo is WAAAAYYYY better than Thunderbird. In fact, she's quitting Thunderbird and will work for Mayo exclusively....

  9. Banner health Nurse fellows program??

    boomerfriend replied to taapple's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I thought you couldn't transfer once you were in a CC's program? I also thought 202 was easier that 201 but that could have been my teacher. She was

  10. CC's still have openings for Fall?

    boomerfriend replied to mattsmom64's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Sure wish they'd overbook the classes...at least by a couple. There's got to be some statistic out there showing the drop-out rate. I'd take a seat if they'd offer it! Unfortunately, in the CNA...

  11. Testing out of HCC classes?

    boomerfriend replied to arizona_zorie's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Don't know about testing out of the HCC classes...I took them over the Christmas break and they were the easiest classes yet. Too bad I had to pay money for them. Since they were taken in such a...

  12. Nursing entrance test study guide

    boomerfriend replied to dexterbj's topic in Nursing Career

    I used a little paperback book that was the study guide for the NET test. It was helpful but the darn book was expensive. Try and see if your library has a copy. Or, perhaps, borrow a copy from...

  13. CC nursing students, anyone know of someone in their class waiting longer than 1 sem?

    boomerfriend replied to Calzonan RN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I want to know too. I put my app in June and got the party line "one to two semester wait".

  14. Civilian RN jobs in overseas military hospitals?

    boomerfriend replied to lauritasol's topic in Government, Military

    I don't have much info on working as a nurse overseas but I can speak for Okinawa and Germany (and Korea if you want too). My husband is retired AF, we were stationed in all the above countries -...

  15. CC system dropping Co-reqs...

    boomerfriend replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm taking HCR 240AA at MCC. My lottery number is 119 and my app was turned in in June at MCC. Looks good for the Spring. I'd really like to get into MCC with no more than this fall semester wait....

    boomerfriend replied to taapple's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Ieeeyeeeyeee!!!! :rotfl: What's this? I'd love this option. This program would be marvelous for me!!! Where in the world have I been? I'm going to do some serious research on it and if I find...

  17. CC system dropping Co-reqs...

    boomerfriend replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Calzonan: I'm in the same boat at you...four semesters of pre-req's and now cooling my heels waiting for a seat in the nursing school. I'm taking Patho and my humanities this fall. I figure taking...

    Bad news guys, the October class is full. The application period for the October class closed at the end of July. My friend got his interview in July and notification of acceptance shortly...

  20. CC system dropping Co-reqs...

    boomerfriend replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yes, those have been eliminated. However, the mystery is still where are they going to incorporate that material into the curriculum? You know we are all going to need Patho, Lord knows we all need...

  21. Tattoo's on Nurses

    boomerfriend replied to gentlemother's topic in General Nursing

    Grannynurse: I think what you have to say is valid. I miss those days as well...and I'm only 42. Fortunately for us in this profession, we can pick and choose where we work. If you are looking to...

  22. Banner health Nurse fellows program??

    boomerfriend replied to taapple's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I have a friend that interviewed in July and was accepted. He'll begin in October. I'll refer him to this message board and ask him to respond. I'm curious

  23. Transitioning from ADN to BSN

    boomerfriend replied to malenursetobe@21's topic in General Nursing

    Arizona State University has a bridge program for ADN nurses to get their BSN in one year. I am definitely planning on going that route when the day

  24. Percent of men in class?

    boomerfriend replied to RN8Wannabe's topic in Men in Nursing

    In our CNA class of 18, there were 4 guys...one married w/kids, one 40 and single, one in his 20's and single and one barely 18. While doing my clinicals, I met a guy in his mid 50's who was waiting...

  25. Tattoo's on Nurses

    boomerfriend replied to gentlemother's topic in General Nursing

    In our clinical rotation for CNA the policy was that all visible tatoos must be covered. We had one guy who had a large round one on his inner forearm. We figured he'd have to wear a large bandage...
