3. other non-RN positions??

   kitten_ replied to kitten_'s topic in Ob/Gyn

   What they earn can't be any worse then what I'm making right now hehe.... I'm just tired of nuclear medicine and coworkers who don't pull their own weight. I always knew I wanted to go into health care and I also always knew I wanted to be in L&am...

5. Tucson Medical Center - New Grad Pay?

   kitten_ replied to dancingdoula's topic in Arizona

   I do know several nurses here who DO NOT hate it. They are not in L&D or NICU but they still love thier jobs. There are also a lot of nurses here who have been here for 15 or more years. I'm not sure what the point of me saying this is....I me...

6. Tucson Medical Center - New Grad Pay?

   kitten_ replied to dancingdoula's topic in Arizona

   Yes, TMC does have some issues but as far as I know the rumors you speak of are just rumors. We're not closing or anything crazy. There's just a lot of change going on right now which is inevitable right? I actually like my job there quite a bit a...

   kitten_ replied to Jumpy's topic in Arizona

   Yeah I'm at west campus because they we're the only one who had the classes I needed. It's pretty far away though because I live RIGHT by TMC so hopefully next semester I can go to the downtown campus. When I start my nursing program I will be going...

8. Money to spend

   kitten_ replied to NeuroNP's topic in General Nursing

   I hope this doesn't make me sound bad... I would probably just buy something justifiable (PDA, steth, scrubs whatever) and sell whatever it is on Ebay or craigslist. I mean if you really don't need it and money is that tight why not? Is that terribl...

9. relief?

   kitten_ posted a topic in NICU

   This is something I have NEVER admitted to ANYONE but I feel like maybe you all will understand. My son was born sept. 22nd 2006 at 32 weeks with a very large omphalocele. He lived through 2 surgeries and 12 hours but it ended up that his lungs wer...

    yeah I'm only planning on getting my ADN from pima....I figure if I want my BSN later I can always go back for it.

    actually when I was in HS I took concurrent enrollment of bio (just because I found it interesting)... so I am going to test right into A&P (I am positive I will pass because I find it so interesting I try to keep learning whatever I can). It re...

    there is no wait so I get to go right in... as of right now I am just not sure how long my prereqs are going to take. It's looking like it may be a whole year because I honestly never thought I would go to school so I never took any classes.

    kitten_ replied to kitten_'s topic in Arizona

    yeah, it is a 3 year commitment but in the big scheme of things I don't think thats a big deal.

    I've been lurking around here for a while but I've finally decided to join. I am pretty sure I am going to be starting my prereqs in January (about time!). I really am only interested in L&D or NICU nursing but we'll see. I am going to be goin...
