   I had an inside source (meaning a friend of mine that works there) tell me that they are cancelling the GAPP for Feb... reason was they over-hired in the last GAPP this past summer. I'm not saying this is factual... I'm just stating what I heard.

   thank you! Love the emoticon! LOL! No worries... It will all work out for us, maybe Abrazo just wasn't the right place for us.

   boru replied to johnnyarei's topic in Arizona

   if you have time to become a CNA/PCT and get a part-time position doing that at a facility you are interested in, that is a really good way to go also. I know a lot of people that got positions internally going that route... but I also know a handful...

   I believe Abrazo means 'Hug' in spainish... but after applying to this program several times this year and never hearing back from them,... I think I need an abrazo!

   johnnyarei, I agree 100% with what the others have told you on this thread... networking before you graduate is the key. There are jobs out there but compared to how it was just a few short years ago, they are much harder to find and take a little mo...

    good article RNfaster (interesting name), thanks for the post... As far as your disagreement goes, I should know better than to make absolute statements on a message board... there will always be exceptions to everything. I'm speaking on averages and...

    AZMOMO2, thank you for your reply... I agree with what you are saying and you know that I feel your pain and frustration first hand. However, the media is still correct and there are still plenty of nursing jobs in demand (just not for new grads). G...

    Agreed, the advantage of paying 50-60k for a private school used to be that you A) didn't have to wait an extra 2 yrs on the Comm. College list, and B) you didn't have to compete against other applicants going into a program like ASU, UA, NAU, or e...

    Hospitals need more nurses but claim they cannot afford to train them... new nurses cannot find acute care experience therefore cannot get an acute care job. The answer to me seems pretty simple: I have heard statistics the state that every new grad...
