1. New Grad??? Salary??

   phxgoddess replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Arizona

   Arizona is a "right to work" state. They tend to enjoy breaking unions here. I married a Cheesehead and suddenly the cold north is looking good to me.

2. AZ and glendale is pretty sweet.

   Welcome to Arizona! I'm a native, but I married a Cheesehead. I hate to tell you this but... the Grand Canyon is more than 2 hours away. It's a LONG drive to a really big hole in the ground. If you are thinking of going, and you should, look into ...

3. Nclex Nightmare

   phxgoddess replied to MCG25's topic in NCLEX

   most of the people I have talked to had the test shut off at 75 or so. It only took me an hour and I was afraid I went too fast, but I passed. You only have to have more right than wrong - in all actuality. In real life you aren't expected to know ...

4. I am a RN!!!

   phxgoddess replied to Pocamom's topic in NCLEX

   whooooo hooooo. me too. I took the test on Tuesday and the "pending testing" was cleared the next morning. (we just check the state board website here and it's a quick way to find out). My license is in the mail. and again, whooooooooooooooooooooooo...

5. Past DUI?

   phxgoddess replied to phxgoddess's topic in Arizona

   Dear Yellowsunshine, Thank you for sharing your story and for being so open. I'm at a loss for words on what to say. There is nothing anyone can say to take away the pain of a loss such as yours. I am now in my final semester at ASU, graduation in ...

6. Asu?

   phxgoddess replied to chuckcamp's topic in Arizona

   It appears all your questions have been answered by others on the board. I am in the midst of the organization nightmare that is the first semester. First thing you should do is get some BIG Notebooks and lots of dividers. Also - you will need to co...

7. Asu?

   phxgoddess replied to chuckcamp's topic in Arizona

   ASU west was my first choice because I wanted the accelerated program. The seats at Main tend to fill up first and are harder to get. There are people who have continued to work. I only work 10 hrs a week, but it is getting hard to keep up. The prob...

8. Asu?

   phxgoddess replied to chuckcamp's topic in Arizona

   RE: your GPA, I would recommend going to see the advisors in the School of Nursing. (Talk to Cecila) They opened up more seats on both the main campus and ASU West, which is where I went. More seats makes it a little easier to get in, I believe. I am...

9. Past DUI?

   phxgoddess replied to phxgoddess's topic in Arizona

   I was able to get my fingerprint clearance, but it has a driving restriction on it. I can only direct you towards the Arizona Board for any further questions. (if you are in AZ. If not - contact your state board) http://www.azboardofnursing.org/ ariz...

10. Backround Check Before Nursing School

    phxgoddess replied to gerry79's topic in General Nursing

    You need to contact the Board of Nursing in the state where you want to be licensed. Doing this early, will hopefully save you a lot of problems later on. Good luck. on the subject of background checks prior to nursing school. - ASU requires a finger...

11. Past DUI?

    phxgoddess replied to phxgoddess's topic in Arizona

    I sent an email to the Arizona State Board of Nursing. This was the reply: DUI? It depends. When you apply for licensure in AZ you have to answer 2 questions: Are you currently under investigation or is a disciplinary action pending against your ...

12. Past DUI?

    phxgoddess posted a topic in Arizona

    Does anyone know if having a DUI in the past will make getting an RN or a job in the health care field impossible or difficult? One hears rumors, but I'm looking for information on any barriers that may come up because of a stupid mistake in my past....

    GCU's Samaritan College of Nursing http://www.allnursingschools.com/schools/ID69/ I have to admit, I never looked into Grand Canyon - so I can only defer to the website. I never said it was easier to get into, I merely stated they had a different ...

14. Asu?

    phxgoddess replied to chuckcamp's topic in Arizona

    I was just accepted into the fall program. ASU opened more seats, but I believe there were also more applicants. My gpa was 3.59; my NET was 1.65 - giving me an "admit score" of 5.240. I barely made it. I know people with admit scores of 5.2 who did...
