    Apple-Core replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks MunoRN - that makes sense. I agree with you - in reality it would barely make an indent, and personally I think that many shift changes in a day would result in poorer patient outcomes, which...

    Anxious, depressed, and might need to go to HR.

    Apple-Core replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    Document everything - time, date, incident, what was said. EVERYTHING. Also I would notate everything that you did alongside her complaints. Obviously be wary of privacy laws, but otherwise cover...

    Apple-Core replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    What was her rationale behind this? If we work 8 hours a day, then we'll need to hire more staff to cover the 24 hours, which ultimately costs more money...? I'd love for her to shadow a nurse for a...

    CEP Summer 2019 (castle branch question)

    Apple-Core replied to Nitingale91's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You could reach out to CB directly if you're concerned. I really wouldn't worry too much - CB is used by many colleges across the country. Imagine how many people they're dealing with right now, and...

    Ortho - a stepping stone?

    Thank you! I needed to hear that! Yes, I agree, it could be my own interpretation which is why I was looking for input from others to redress the balance, so to

    Fallouts During Nursing School

    Apple-Core replied to KMGS17's topic in General Students

    I think this is a life experience, not just a nursing school experience. It's not pleasant, I agree, but it's just a fact of life. In the meantime, I suggest you refocus on your studies because the...

    Apple-Core replied to rhubarbstrawberry's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hi - Unless they've changed things - ONLY the pre-reqs will need to be completed before you apply for the traditional ADN. The co-reqs will need to be completed before you graduate from the ADN. Some...

    Hi - I would definitely recommend brushing up on your A&P and Bio classes. They are going to give you fundamental understanding for your patho. In my opinion, they are crucial to your success in...

    Rio or Phoenix College Bio201 - ONLINE

    Apple-Core replied to MacMaster's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm not sure you were asking me, but I'll respond anyway =0) Yes - labs are done at home (you purchase a small lab kit for some classes and have to use things you can either find in the home or easily...

    Rio or Phoenix College Bio201 - ONLINE

    Apple-Core replied to MacMaster's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yes, absolutely. The only disadvantage is that you'd potentially have a bunch of transcripts, but other than that it's no big deal. Take some online, some in person,...whatever suits you

    Maricopa ADN waitlist

    Apple-Core replied to Guest1029094's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I suggest checking directly with the school you plan to apply with as they will have a nursing advisor who you can talk to. Minimum standards may have changed in the few years since I applied. However...

    Apple-Core replied to Guest1029094's topic in Arizona Nursing

    No, unfortunately not. The waitlist is for those students who have completed all the pre-reqs and the HESI (plus a few other things such as finger-print clearance etc). Once you have applied for the...

    Do you think I have a case? HIPAA

    Apple-Core replied to msoncnurse17's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Whether it's HIPAA or not, posting about work on social media is imprudent to say the least, especially when you work in a place dealing with the potential for such violations. Moving forward, I hope...

    CEP Summer 2019 (castle branch question)

    Apple-Core replied to Nitingale91's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You will need your immunizations before you can be accepted into any clinical rotations, so the school will want them done ASAP. I suggest going to your doc and just getting them all in one go (as far...

    Maricopa CEP Spring 2019

    Apple-Core replied to dalbak16's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm not sure because I am not partnered with ASU. You will have book costs and often an "online class fee", but I don't know exact figures. I'll ask one of my cohort who is with ASU and will let you...

    Maricopa CEP Spring 2019

    Apple-Core replied to dalbak16's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hi - From my understanding (although things may have changed), UIU is NOT part of the consortium agreement, and ASU is part. What that means to you is that, if you will be applying for a Pell Grant...
