1. Outpatient to inpatient

   runner25 replied to runner25's topic in Emergency

   Perfect! Thank you. I love cardiac. I am still affiliated with a hospital so it may not be too difficult to get in. Great to hear a firsthand story. I really appreciate it because I think I need to decide by tomorrow for one opportunity!

2. Outpatient to inpatient

   runner25 posted a topic in Emergency

   I was wondering if anyone worked at a specialty clinic then switched to inpatient. I did my preceptorship in the ED, am working in a specialty clinic inside the hospital, and want to switch to inpatient for a faster pace and higher acuity. Please s...

3. Money Management

   runner25 replied to jlamarev's topic in Career Support

   I feel like I always get behind. I mean, I think talking about money is important. I cannot work as often as I wish I could (every day!). Here's some random little things (for me, saving hundreds a month helps). To me, the biggest expense is rent...

4. New Job PCT Float Pool (needs advice)

   runner25 replied to cnabeauty's topic in Technicians

   I think the most important thing to remember for written tests is that if you see something out of the ordinary, notify the RN. If you see a patient with low blood sugar or they are having difficulty breathing, notify the RN. If you have a question...

6. University of AZ Tucson New Grad position

   runner25 replied to iridium54's topic in Arizona

   From my understanding, there are no real raises this year. But if you go up the clinical ladder to clinical nurse II (12-18 months later?), you can get paid more. I think clinical staff nurse IIs are hired at $28-29 an hour.

9. current pima cc wait list?

   runner25 replied to holyshniky!'s topic in Arizona

   I go to Pima. Yep, there is a drug test and a HESI test. If you get a low score on a HESI section, they recommend some reviews before you start the first semester. That is what it's for.

10. Pima Community College (Tucson AZ) Actual cost of attendance

    runner25 replied to mesalight257's topic in Arizona

    Nursing credits are the same price as non-nursing courses. If you take your prerequisites/corequisites before you enter nursing school, the most you have to pay for is 12 credits per semester. Before entering, I had the cpr course ($30), dps fee, ...

    I applied June 2010 and am accepted for this fall 2011. That is three semester wait. I was on the waiting list as an alternate (I think, top 15). I found out the end of April that fall entrance may be a possibility. Apply as soon as possible. Mak...

13. Maricopa Wait List Question

    runner25 replied to booblu's topic in Arizona

    I applied April 2010 and had a time stamp in June 2010. I have not heard back of any start date. I guess Spring 2012 at the earliest (that would be a four-semester wait)

    runner25 replied to Staragate's topic in Arizona
