   Hahaha! Those numbers are incorrect Marlene! I graduated in one of the BNF cohorts in March and maybe 25% of my cohort had a job immediately and still out of the 30 in my cohort we probably have 5-8 that still don't have positions. I am not sure ab...

   smelton5 replied to smelton5's topic in Arizona

   Yes school has started! It is going well; very exciting but very overwhelming at first! :) It seems that the first cohort that started last year (Oct. 07') had to deal with a little bit of more disorganization and things like that. They seem to ha...

   smelton5 replied to bellabarbiegirl's topic in Arizona

   I applied to the Banner Nurse Fellows Program in May of 07 and was placed for Oct. of 07' even though I defered. I would def. recommend getting on with a hospital that has "staff" positions at a nursing school. I work for JCL and I heard their prog...

    Hi All! I know that most of you that are following this thread have already had your interviews for the October 07' cohort so I am hoping that a few of you may have helpful advice for me! I actually just got a call for my interview for the Oct. coh...

    The community surrounding the hospital is less than desirable. Lots of people on the street and such. In regards to the hosptial I feel very safe there. The sercurity is awsome and are always willing to walk you to your car and such! Hope that th...
