   d2p replied to golfnurse's topic in Quality Improvement

   Yes, they are meeting "some requirement" - namely, core measures as set forth by medicare. It is not flu season, so giving you a flu shot anytime after March and before October is contraindicated. Nurses make mistakes. Generally the pnemococcal and...

2. Sierra Vista or Tucson???

   d2p replied to military spouse's topic in Arizona

   P.S. The Tucson Heart Hospital has a Baylor program (see, I always thought it was 'bail-er' - like bailing you out...snicker). They aren't too bad to work for but be prepared to float. They are a privately owned hospital, though, and the pay is pr...

3. Sierra Vista or Tucson???

   d2p replied to military spouse's topic in Arizona

   Yes, it is my understanding that some floors did cut the tech support. There is generally still one tech devoted to tele monitoring and instead of 4 circulating there are 2, sometimes 3 depending on the load. The 4:1 nurse to patient ratio, however...

7. AZ question- educator salary?

   d2p replied to JMP's topic in Arizona

   Silly me for not looking at where a poster was from. So sorry if I offended. Personally love Arizona. 'Middle nursing' is still not a term I am familiar with. If the reference was to payscale, I beg whomever's pardon for misunderstanding. The av...

   d2p replied to Nygirl's topic in Arizona

   Tracy - you probably know by now...challenging program, great instructors, fun to do. It will be great for you as many of the students are return or not the traditional college student. You will love nursing. Make sure you do everything on time an...

9. AZ question- educator salary?

   d2p replied to JMP's topic in Arizona

   So sorry anyone from AZ answered so strangely...never heard of 'middle' anything nursing...perhaps the poster meant "intermediate" or was refering to 'step-down' care? Flagstaff is gorgeous and as far as educators, it really depends on the facility a...
