3. What's the scoop on Arizona Regional Medical Center?

   NewBeginning replied to AZnurse_2B's topic in Arizona

   Didn't they JUST hire and start training 20+ new grad nurses? I thought they hired to staff both facilities. What happens to all of those nurses with one of the two hospitals shutting its doors? Hopefully this all turns out well for everyone invol...

5. Is this too little?

   NewBeginning replied to RN315's topic in Psychiatric

   NewBeginning posted a topic in Male Students

   OK, just started a nursing program last week. We were trying on gloves (non-sterile) to get a sense of what was needed for supplies for the semester. I grabbed an XL and with some effort, stuffed my hands inside. I would have preferred slightly lo...

12. Glendale Weekend Program Spring 2011

    NewBeginning replied to mom2twinz's topic in Arizona

    I hear you on there not being a "perfect" time to start. We have a pretty busy family life as well, but only forsee it getting busier, so no time like the present to start nursing school. Oh, and actually, I am male. We have two daughters and my wi...
