    Advice?

    rac1 replied to rac1's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Thank you for taking the time to reply. I appreciate all of your input. I do realize that being a CNM involves more than just birth and I am very interested in caring for women in general. I have...

    rac1 posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Hi - I am not even in nursing school yet, but I'm hopeful for entrance this year. That said, I am a 38 year old mother of 5 and wife to an Army officer. We move a lot. I started out years ago studying...

    Maricopa Weekend/Evening Progam people?

    rac1 posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Wondering if anyone is in the weekend or evening program and how you like it? I am pretty sure I want to do the weekend program but I am curious about how others like it and the experience. Any...

    Maricopa Weekend/Evening Progam people?

    rac1 replied to rac1's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yes, that is pretty much the information I received from advising already. I am pretty motivated, and do well learning on my own so I think I'd be okay. Since I have 5 kids in school I am hoping that...

    January CEP applicants?

    rac1 replied to rac1's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Ooh, thanks for the -saving the books- tip! I actually super love my A&P/patho/nutrition books and still have all of them (they are so pricey it is hard to get rid of them!) I took nutrition 7...

    January CEP applicants?

    rac1 replied to rac1's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Thank you! How many classes did you say you have left before you can apply? I took classes as fast as I could this past year - taking 8 week classes through Rio if I could just to get it all done to...

    January CEP applicants?

    rac1 replied to rac1's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I have no idea how long it has taken me. I am older (38), with 5 kids. I quit school when I was attending part time at the age of 21 to get married and start a family. I took classes on again and off...

    Mesa CC Hesi

    rac1 replied to KittenEars's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I was shocked about the reading comprehension section too. Like I said, I did fine with the HESI practice book (same one you're using). Look for something else online, and actually practice it. I got...

    Yep - calculator always available. I took mine at Glendale CC - but I have taken tests at other testing tests and if you have never tested anywhere, I just want to warn you to DOUBLE CHECK your...

    January CEP applicants?

    rac1 replied to rac1's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I didn't do the AGEC route (I needed two science classes to fulfill degree requirements, and I din't feel like taking them). I already had classes that fulfilled the AGEC courses, (philosophy is one,...

    Awesome! I haven't applied for CEP yet - I literally just finished my last final today - hoping the instructor posts grades early so I can apply this week. It is not fun to wait in adivisor

    Anyone else a planner nerd?

    rac1 replied to AshBuggin's topic in General Students

    Sure! It was shipped yesterday, hoping I get it Monday. They were backordered for a while. Did you know you can download their planner for free/PDF and try it for yourself? Honestly, I wish I were...

    rac1 replied to rac1's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Wow, that does make me feel happy for sure! Anytime I talk about school, I leave it off with "well, that's if I am accepted..." I guess that doesn't mean that I will necessarily make it into the...

    College math RIO

    rac1 replied to Poolparty's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I took MAT142 and just completed it in December. I did also take microbiology online last summer, and I think it was probably the most difficult online class I've ever taken. I got an A, but it was a...

    Anyone else a planner nerd?

    rac1 replied to AshBuggin's topic in General Students

    I wanted to love EC planners - I bought twice - yes they are PRETTY - functional? Not as much! A friend had a cool planner from in the leafy treetops dot com - I am not mormon, but she is, and they...

    Student loans through school

    rac1 replied to candmo57's topic in Arizona Nursing

    This is a tough one for most people I think. We are a military family, and I quit college and working years (and YEARS) ago to raise our children. Our youngest is now school-aged, and I am ready to...

    College math RIO

    rac1 replied to Poolparty's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Have you taken any math higher than 140? If so, then you are good to go. If you took math below a 140 level, I doubt it is easier. I took Math 120 previously (years and years ago because it was the...

    I just took it through Rio last semester. I actually enjoyed it. Yes, both midterm and final are proctored. Like someone else mentioned, they are multiple choice (that was a nice surprise because none...

    Physiology and Micro same semester?

    rac1 replied to ilovebokeh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think microbiology is *hard*. My husband is a PhD Microbiology student, and I took Micro with two other classes, and it was a burden, it was hard, and it took a lot of my time studying (reading,...
