1. SCC SUMMER BLOCK 4?

   on_the_path replied to AndeeRN2b's topic in Arizona

   I completed Block 3 over the summer at SCC. I would definitely say it was grueling. Lectures were very long, we are talking about 8-10 hour long lecture days at times. And we had some weeks where we had 2 clinical days per week. The last week we had ...

2. How far would you drive?

   on_the_path replied to alliesweetie14's topic in Arizona

   I would seriously think about it. I drove from the area around San Tan Village in Gilbert to SCC during my time in nursing school. It seemed like fate threw in an extra hurdle when they decided to rip up the 101 freeway and begin what has turned out ...

3. Mayo New Grad RN Residency program (Feb/2016)

   on_the_path replied to mrsboots87's topic in Arizona

   I think they are interviewing the candidates with a previous/existing relationship with Mayo first. I know someone who works there that also has an interview next week.

4. Career Change

   on_the_path replied to RizzoRazz's topic in Arizona

   Here are my two cents for what they are worth to you: I am in my early thirties, and needed a career change (last 11 years spent in allied health) into something that could pay better than what I am making now, has lots of room for growth and differe...

5. Mayo New Grad RN Residency program (Feb/2016)

   on_the_path replied to mrsboots87's topic in Arizona

   Yes, they offer it twice a year. I believe the other start date is in July, but I forgot when the application process for it begins. You either have to keep watching their site or click on the link that says "For questions - email us" and ask them cl...

6. Mayo New Grad RN Residency program (Feb/2016)

   on_the_path replied to mrsboots87's topic in Arizona

   I applied for both, but I only had 100 hours of critical care experience if I counted up my clinical rotations, I don't work in an ICU or anything like that. I wonder if they extend offers in December after they see our final grades for the last seme...

7. Mayo New Grad RN Residency program (Feb/2016)

   on_the_path replied to mrsboots87's topic in Arizona

   I also applied for this, as I also graduate in December. Do you know how long it typically takes to hear if you get an interview? I would be very excited to start my nursing career at Mayo, but I'm trying to stay realistic and not get too excited.

8. Is it just me?

   on_the_path replied to 1_fit_male_nurse2b's topic in Arizona

   Here you go. I don't own the image, if you search "male nurse symbol" in Google images, it's the third image that pops up. I've always thought it was pretty cool.

9. Xmas list ideas, accepted at SCC for Spring 2016

   on_the_path replied to amwrootbeer's topic in Arizona

   I'm glad I could give you some ideas. If you are severely hard of hearing, Littmann also makes an electronic stethoscope where you can adjust the VOLUME on it! We have 2 students that have hearing aides that use this model. It is very pricey though, ...

10. Is it just me?

    on_the_path replied to 1_fit_male_nurse2b's topic in Arizona

    First off, I am very sorry to hear about what you are going through right now. That said, one of the things they are CONSTANTLY telling us at SCC is to "BE FLEXIBLE!". At first us students joked about it, but it does get old after a while. It refers ...

11. Job Market?

    on_the_path replied to Sunkissed13's topic in Arizona

    From what everyone has been telling me, things have been getting better. I had a co-worker get her ADN in Dec 2013 and it took her 8 months to find a job, not directly in the hospital. Fast forward a bit, and another co-worker just got her BSN in May...

12. Xmas list ideas, accepted at SCC for Spring 2016

    on_the_path replied to amwrootbeer's topic in Arizona

    Hello, I'm currently a student in Block 4 at SCC. As far as nursing gifts for Christmas, I would honestly ask for an Amazon.com giftcard! I remember the bookstore wanted close to $1000 for the books they recommend getting at the start of the program,...

    on_the_path replied to AZblondie's topic in School Programs

    Hey AkAtHrt, did you ever apply to the GCU fast-track program in the east valley??? You said it was based near Banner Gateway, which is practically in Gilbert. Were you referring to the A.T. Still University campus on Recker and Baseline? I went to a...
