Hey everyone! I know the application deadline is a ways off, but I just wanted to get a forum started for those of us who plan on applying to the MEPN program for 2018! I have all my prerequisites finished and just have to take the HESI. I already to...

Our schedule for fall was a little wonky. It's hard to really give an accurate description because classes got switched around for days/times for the first half versus second half and a bunch of classes weren't required. But consistently we had class...

Over the summer it's pretty much mandatory to go to every class and you have class or clinical every day of the week.

I didn't need the access code last year either. When in doubt, emailing the professors to ask specifically if they derive any course points from feature of the access code website is smart to do. A lot of times in the community college coursework the...

It's straightforward. You're told what classes you have to sign up for and you take them together at the same time. The only difference is your clinical group. That'll probably be multiples of 8. On blackboard the class section numbers will correspon...

I am happy to meet with you guys and can see if some of my friends/classmates would be willing to meet up as well. We have our last day of class on November thirtieth so it will most likely be after that. Last year we tried coordinating by adding a p...

Hey guys! I was just curious if we need letters of recommendation for our application. I haven't created a profile/account to begin yet, so I was hoping someone who has already applied could provide that information. I want to be able to give my lett...

You will definitely have to live off student loans and rely on friends/family to help you watch the kids and/or get them to/from childcare on days where the hours are long (finishing at the hospital at 7:30 pm, having to arrive places by 6:30 A.M. de...

Wait jk no there is the VA. I'm not sure about th sixth location.

Abrazo heart hospital. Mayo. Banner university medical. Honor health osborn. I think there might be another banner location and one dignity location?

A lot of people commute a ways to class and clinical.

And I took it as an 8 week, and it was just fine! Definitely one of the easier prerequisites, and I actually found it interesting!

I did not have to take proctored exams when I took this class online. I did it at a different Maricopa community college, but now I can't rememebr which one. I think Mesa!

Yeah in the medical track I'd prefer the palliative care unit, but I don't know how much those preferences get taken into consideration!

I'm trying to decide between the medical track or the oncology track! I am in a three semester program as opposed to four semester, so I'm happy applying at the end of second semester doesn't count too much against me. In terms of clinicals, I will h...

I honestly felt like the teas secrets book went over things just fine. There is so much content that the book can not possibly touch on all of it. I also have a science background so maybe some of my ease came from familiarity and being able to draw ...

Honestly I think it comes down to how quickly you want to be done. I was in a position financially where I needed to start the program sooner... finish date didn't affect me as much. In the MEPN program you'll be able to work part time fairly easily....

For nursing schools your residency usually does not factor in either way so you should have just as good of a shot as anyone else! My reason for asking is that l, as I stated, you may find you need additional coursework like chemistry, nutrition, dev...

So, all of the schools in AZ have slightly different requirements in terms of prerequisite courses. Annoying, right? I think ASU tops the list with requirements, but the CEP (concurrent ASN at community college and BSN at one of multiple available un...

There are no requests or rankings for clinical sites outside of your immersion/preceptorship during the second half of fall semester. Even then, I'm not sure how much they'll take into cos iteration rankings since I'm sure everyone put Mayo as their ...

We have tried to get them to keep us updated on jobs, but they kind of fell off the grid once they passed NCLEX. From some basic Facebook stalking it seems that most stayed inn Arizona. I only know of one person who left to work in Utah under the com...

Clinical sites are totally random. I don't think anyone in our cohort has ever swapped out to be somewhere closer to home but if you could convince someone to swap, I think it is possible, but it becomes more challenging with managing your clinical a...

Okay so I looked back at the advancement guide we had, and for us it said that if a course in progress for fall was being taken at a maricopa community college, the course end date needed to be a couple weeks prior to Dec. 15. So that being said, you...

Unfortunately the advisors don't always have the most up to date information since a new advancement guide gets posted for every year (and usually at the last minute). So I had to scramble to sign up for an accelerated fall course to make sure I made...

That will be fine! If you take it at ASU then the score automatically gets posted to your account. If you take it elsewhere just make sure before you sign out that you opt to have the score sent to ASU immediately (bring a credit or debit card with y...
