  1. anyone getting 3.8 or higher GPA in CEP Nursing programs?

    AZBlueBell replied to Nurse4TLA's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Haven't calculated my GPA since before I got into the program, but my GPA going into the CEP and block 1 was 3.97 and I got a B in block 1. I think it's doable but it's difficult. I have two kids but...

  2. Laptop for school

    AZBlueBell replied to candmo57's topic in General Students

    I have a toshiba 13" touchscreen that has been perfect for my school and home needs. It's very light and easy to transport and the touchscreen is so nice to have. I spent a bit extra ($600) on it as...

    Hi everyone! I'm currently on the Maricopa wait list but working towards the Upper Iowa CEP, I will be done with all my classes this summer but I'll be able to apply when they do the May/June...

  4. Starting Pay for CNA

    AZBlueBell replied to rachaelofcourse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Have you taken the CNA exam yet? I'm curious to know how it went and if you felt like Block 1 prepared you for that exam! Thinking about taking it

  5. Failed Block 2

    AZBlueBell replied to StephSparks's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I know EMCC is trying to take less students though. I just finished block 1 at EMCC this semester and we had 28 to start with (only 30 spots available to begin with). This next semester they are only...

  6. Please help me, which community college accept the most students..

    AZBlueBell replied to alliesweetie14's topic in Arizona Nursing

    There were a lot of CEP applicants the last round and some applicants did not get a spot because of it. It's more competitive now than it has been in the last few rounds where all CEP applicants got a...

  7. *Test Taking Tips*

    AZBlueBell replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Students

    I agree. I used to brain dump before exams (not in nursing school) and it was totally an anxiety thing for me. I knew all those things, but writing them down in the beginning of the exam gave me peace...

  8. *Test Taking Tips*

    AZBlueBell replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Students

    I don't think that's brain dumping (but I'm not 100% sure). That's a valid question though and I do the same thing when working a math problem. I view it as part of calculating the problem...maybe...

  9. Tips prior to starting DNP/FNP program!

    Would love to know your research system as

  10. *Test Taking Tips*

    AZBlueBell replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Students

    I believe they do so you can do calculations, but if they see you brain-dump anything then you fail. My school stopped allowing students to do that because they won't be able to do it at

  11. *Test Taking Tips*

    AZBlueBell replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Students

    I would recommend not getting in the habit of brain-dumping because it is not allowed on the NCLEX. Other than that, good

  12. Summer... I want a head start.

    AZBlueBell replied to Zooey72's topic in General Students

    There are some fundamental chapters that will most certainly be covered...start with infection control, patient safety, and vital signs. After that, you can move on to reviewing anatomy and physiology...

    Yep, totally worth it! Helped me this past semester to study for tests and to expand my knowledge in

  14. Estrella Mountain Community College Nursing Program

    AZBlueBell replied to az_nrsg08's topic in Arizona Nursing

    For EMCC it was worth 5% of the final grade, and it is part of your proctored points. You have to get a 76% or better on proctored points to pass each block. It's just one Hesi exam at the end of each...

  15. Clinical Dress Code

    AZBlueBell replied to ashleyg037's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Eh, I don't really get it either but the rules are the rules. And when they say off the collar, they mean even your ponytail can't touch or go past the collar. So mostly you have to have your hair up...

    AZBlueBell replied to az_nrsg08's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Thanks I missed those other questions! Yes, HESI exit after each block. And for the medication, we had to do 100% on our dosage calculation exam in order to go to clinicals. And there were med...

    AZBlueBell replied to az_nrsg08's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yes, block 1 is older adults and clinicals are typically assisted living facilities. My cohort had 4 clinical groups, 3 were assisted living facilities and the other one was banner Boswell rehab...

  18. Estrella Mountain Community College Nursing Program

    AZBlueBell replied to az_nrsg08's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yes the English was reading comprehension, word usage, vocab, and grammar things. I'm with UIU. I chose them because I had all but two classes I needed to apply for them and needed more than that for...

    AZBlueBell replied to az_nrsg08's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I am CEP block 1 at EMCC right now. The waitlist is no issue if you're doing CEP route. The Hesi entrance is just English and math. Brush up on fractions and decimals, the English I found to be very...

  20. Mesa community college nursing schedules

    AZBlueBell replied to Sofia15's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I think they try to do once a week but it really depends on what spots they can secure with the clinical sites and that varies semester to semester. You have to become "nursing school flexible" which...

  21. what if I miss a class or clinical?

    AZBlueBell replied to nursing_stdnt's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm with EMCC and our school does not give us a choice. My cohort had 4 clinical groups at 3 different sites, each group with a different day for clinicals. The advisor just stuck us In whatever group...

    AZBlueBell replied to Sofia15's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Same here! My kids are so tired on my clinical days having to get up and out of the house so

  23. what if I miss a class or clinical?

    AZBlueBell replied to nursing_stdnt's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I have found lecture to be the same as my pre-reqs. If people have to miss it for one reason or another, they work that out with the professor. Clinicals on the other hand are non-negotiable. Even...

  24. Mesa community college nursing schedules

    AZBlueBell replied to Sofia15's topic in Arizona Nursing

    No, it is not flexible. If your start time is 6:30 you better be there at 6:30. If your kids extended day doesn't start til 6:30 then you need to look at other options for them. There is no...

    AZBlueBell replied to Zooey72's topic in General Students

    The types of questions are definitely different in nursing school. It was something that really worried me but it has been fine for me so far. The biggest thing is reading the question and really...
