   yellowlablover replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Arizona

   My application was complete in May, although provisional before that. Remember.....this is just the first round. We have 10 days to accept, defer or drop out. So expect to see some additional placements around mid October. Then as folks drop, whi...

3. Moving, need help please

   yellowlablover replied to twiceaslucky's topic in Arizona

   Nurse Bear: I know a little about Maricopa.....it use to be primarily Indian Reservation land with a couple of small restaurants around there for the farmers. Very much a one road town. My father had a farm equipment dealership on the reservation f...

4. Flag Staff Medical Hospital RNs to vote....

   yellowlablover replied to mark hamel's topic in Arizona

   I would add that although unions may be more common in other nations, the United States remains a primarily captalistic society and even with our enormous public programs, such as welfare, food stamps, Medicare, Medicaid, we remain an independent, ge...

5. Renting an apt in Scottsdale

   yellowlablover replied to Seank's topic in Arizona

   Amy: :welcome: Not to be too much of a doomsayer, but this is Arizona and we have TONS of critters. It is the desert. Some areas ARE better than others but even areas that have been developed for decades have bugs. They include scorpions (the mos...

6. starting a new career at phoenix arizona

   yellowlablover replied to egroeg_kyut's topic in Arizona

   Just for fun.....one more generalization regarding Stopnik! You are not only a man in a predominantly female field but I would say that most of the men I have encountered that are in nursing are gay. I am probably going to get killed for that comme...

7. When do you study if you're in an Accelerated Program?

   yellowlablover replied to Staric's topic in Arizona

   I don't know alot about the accelerated program but my understanding is that the 'accelerated' part is simply not having any breaks from school. Meaning that the 'normal' summer months off you are going to school and get about one week in between bl...

8. waitlists..

   yellowlablover replied to GrnHonu99's topic in Arizona

   I am not aware of any ADN or BSN programs in the greater Phoenix area that do not have some type of wait list. The Maricopa Community College system is approximately one to two semester wait, following the completion of all of the pre-reqs. The BS...

9. Renting an apt in Scottsdale

   yellowlablover replied to Seank's topic in Arizona

   As I mentioned, as did Suzanne, there are some specific areas that are both close to the hospital and would deliver the atmosphere you are looking for. Scottsdale is a very geographically large town and there are places you wouldn't want to live, as...

10. Renting an apt in Scottsdale

    yellowlablover replied to Seank's topic in Arizona

    Scottsdale Healthcare Shea is a great area to live, albeit a bit expensive in terms of houses. There are many wonderful apartments right in the area, even some within walking distance (although not in the summer!). There are very nice apartments ar...

11. Q's for the Arizona natives:)

    yellowlablover replied to GrnHonu99's topic in Arizona

    We actually do hike in the Phoenix metro area.....there are books with hiking trails but the best place (and one of the most challenging) is Squaw Peak. It is a pretty easy hike for the first 30 minutes, then gets really tough. We hike early in the...

13. End of Block I

    yellowlablover replied to boomerfriend's topic in Arizona

    I am curious about how all of you felt during Block I - and any comments you can offer to those of us still waiting to be in your shoes! For instance, what did you find was the most difficult thing about school? Was it what you expected? Or did so...

14. St Joseph Medical Center Phoenix AZ

    yellowlablover replied to kateskards's topic in Arizona

    The area I described is close to the 51 freeway, which can pretty easily get one to the airport or into Tempe. The Biltmore/Camelback corridor is very high end stuff, at least at it relates to homes/condos, not sure what the apts. go for. It is VERY...

15. St Joseph Medical Center Phoenix AZ

    yellowlablover replied to kateskards's topic in Arizona

    This sounds like a great opportunity and from everything I have heard, I think it is a good hospital. I would not recommend living around there:devil: , it is NOT a good neighorhood at all. However you head a little north, around Central Ave and up...
