   sl4shd0t replied to Chechy's topic in Arizona

   I think that depends how organized you are, how much time you have for studying and how well you retain information. I did micro and anatomy II during LPN school (blocks one and two). I found those first two blocks to be easy enough, but I was studyi...

   sl4shd0t replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Arizona

   Did we graduate around the same time? I graduated from Estrella in May of 07. I was an LPN for a year before that, I was working in acute med/surg and floated to an inpatient dialysis floor also. So I stayed there. I also had a new baby, he was born ...

   sl4shd0t replied to butterflydancer's topic in Arizona

   If it is Rio, isn't there an outline on what you need to study in ch 2 and/or 3? I don't think I took a class at rio where the instructor did not post outlines on what to study. I'd email the instructor about this if I were you. Good luck. Rebecca

   sl4shd0t replied to JomoNurse's topic in General Nursing

   As an RN in phoenix I made $40/hr. That was a pool rate with no benefits. I worked nights/weekends for over 40 with the differential. This was at a long term acute care hospital though, with bad staffing and patients were very ill. The job market fo...

   I am in the alliance, and I'm trying to get in for the Aug start. I turned my app in late, so I had to petition but she emailed me awhile back and said I have a good chance to get in for august. I will know at the end of next week! I graduated from E...
