   soupermom replied to Staragate's topic in Arizona

   Congrats to those of you that got your start date. I'm also finishing up 4th semester (3 weeks of lecture left to go) and I have to say, it went faster than I thought it would. You'll be getting info about "Boot Camp" from SNAP (Student Nurses' Ass...

2. A New National Union for ANA?

   soupermom replied to Julia RN's topic in Union

   Can you please tell me what of this info is not true please? I've been receiving info from the NRTW group for over 2 years and I don't see them the way you characterized them. They are trying to inform workers that their rights are about to be tra...

3. A New National Union for ANA?

   soupermom replied to Julia RN's topic in Union

   Sorry to revive an old thread, but I recently went to our state nurses' association convention. The new CEO of the ANA was there and spoke about a new super nurses union that will be forming in December, in Scottsdale, AZ. The federal gov't is work...

4. Pima Community College

   soupermom replied to beebee13's topic in Arizona

   Congrats on getting into the program! I'd be very, very surprised if it took you that long. Do you have all of your co-reqs done? If not, work on getting those knocked out. You won't have time during 1st semester to add anything extra. You'll ha...

   soupermom replied to beebee13's topic in Arizona

   The wait at Pima is not that long anymore. People who applied last fall got into the Jan. '09 classes. If your pre-reqs are done, apply immediately as they are working on the admissions for fall. We had a number of alternates get into our skills g...

7. Questions about nursing school and nursing in general

   soupermom replied to TCLA's topic in Career Support

   You don't lift heavy patients by yourself, you use a lift and get assistance. No one wants a nurse to throw her back out. You'll be taught proper body mechanics in skills labs.

8. Questions about nursing school and nursing in general

   soupermom replied to TCLA's topic in Career Support

   I would suggest that you skip the HS guidance counselor and go to the community college and talk to an advisor. Tell them what you'd like to do and have them help you plan what classes you need to take to achieve your goal. I am doing an ADN program...

9. Huge Nursing School Debt!

   soupermom replied to Shortigirl's topic in General Nursing

   I'm doing a 2 year program at the local community college and after all fees are paid, including tuition and books, it'll cost about $5,000. I would never do it if I had to pay $75k.

    soupermom replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't post the entire thing for Gardasil from my Davis CD...I didn't want to get into some kind of copyright issue. But that should help answer the question you had...or at least confirm/deny something.

    There are other stories about it. I didn't link them all on the other post because I figured people would do a search on the site. But just in case people didn't, here's more (and there are more to be found if one looks for it): http://holyhormones...

14. Advice about education

    soupermom replied to jon1989's topic in Career Support

    I'm doing an ADN program at the local community college and will be eligible to sit for the NCLEX-RN when I graduate. I plan on doing the RN-BSN after that through a local university that offers a primarily online program. I didn't do one of the h...

15. Dansko clogs

    soupermom replied to mamason's topic in Uniform/Gear

    I bought Dansko Professionals on the recommendation of my friend who's been a nurse for years. I wear a women's 10-11, have a high arch and kind of wide feet. I bought size 44 and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them. Granted I am only in my first semester, but ...
