    yellowlablover replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Arizona Nursing

    My application was complete in May, although provisional before that. Remember.....this is just the first round. We have 10 days to accept, defer or drop out. So expect to see some additional...

    Me Too! I almost fainted! I couldn't believe it when I saw the 'you have been placed' in my application. Know any details of this program????

  3. Moving, need help please

    yellowlablover replied to twiceaslucky's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Nurse Bear: I know a little about Maricopa.....it use to be primarily Indian Reservation land with a couple of small restaurants around there for the farmers. Very much a one road town. My father...

  4. Flag Staff Medical Hospital RNs to vote....

    yellowlablover replied to mark hamel's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I would add that although unions may be more common in other nations, the United States remains a primarily captalistic society and even with our enormous public programs, such as welfare, food...

  5. Renting an apt in Scottsdale

    yellowlablover replied to Seank's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Amy: :welcome: Not to be too much of a doomsayer, but this is Arizona and we have TONS of critters. It is the desert. Some areas ARE better than others but even areas that have been developed for...

  6. starting a new career at phoenix arizona

    yellowlablover replied to egroeg_kyut's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Just for fun.....one more generalization regarding Stopnik! You are not only a man in a predominantly female field but I would say that most of the men I have encountered that are in nursing are gay....

  7. When do you study if you're in an Accelerated Program?

    yellowlablover replied to Staric's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I don't know alot about the accelerated program but my understanding is that the 'accelerated' part is simply not having any breaks from school. Meaning that the 'normal' summer months off you are...

  8. waitlists..

    yellowlablover replied to GrnHonu99's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I am not aware of any ADN or BSN programs in the greater Phoenix area that do not have some type of wait list. The Maricopa Community College system is approximately one to two semester wait,...

  9. Renting an apt in Scottsdale

    yellowlablover replied to Seank's topic in Arizona Nursing

    As I mentioned, as did Suzanne, there are some specific areas that are both close to the hospital and would deliver the atmosphere you are looking for. Scottsdale is a very geographically large town...

  10. Renting an apt in Scottsdale

    yellowlablover replied to Seank's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Scottsdale Healthcare Shea is a great area to live, albeit a bit expensive in terms of houses. There are many wonderful apartments right in the area, even some within walking distance (although not...

  11. Q's for the Arizona natives:)

    yellowlablover replied to GrnHonu99's topic in Arizona Nursing

    We actually do hike in the Phoenix metro area.....there are books with hiking trails but the best place (and one of the most challenging) is Squaw Peak. It is a pretty easy hike for the first 30...

  13. End of Block I

    yellowlablover replied to boomerfriend's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I am curious about how all of you felt during Block I - and any comments you can offer to those of us still waiting to be in your shoes! For instance, what did you find was the most difficult thing...

  14. St Joseph Medical Center Phoenix AZ

    yellowlablover replied to kateskards's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The area I described is close to the 51 freeway, which can pretty easily get one to the airport or into Tempe. The Biltmore/Camelback corridor is very high end stuff, at least at it relates to...

  15. St Joseph Medical Center Phoenix AZ

    yellowlablover replied to kateskards's topic in Arizona Nursing

    This sounds like a great opportunity and from everything I have heard, I think it is a good hospital. I would not recommend living around there:devil: , it is NOT a good neighorhood at all. However...

  16. Phoenix Children's Hospital

    yellowlablover replied to kkettle70's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I do not work at PCH but I do volunteer there and it is my work at PCH that has caused me to go into nursing. I love the kids, and yes, we do have a lot of hispanic and native American kids, because...

  17. Quick question about NET

    yellowlablover replied to twistedmom's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Sorry - that information I do not have. I know the amount of spaces that are available each semester changes with each college. Although it would be a lot of work, my suggestion is to have an...

  18. Quick question about NET

    yellowlablover replied to twistedmom's topic in Arizona Nursing

    i'll tell you what i know about the mcc system, for what it is worth. assuming that chandler/gilbert is a part of that system. you can take the net anytime you want, in fact the folks at asu...

  19. I am in hell

    yellowlablover replied to CANewRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I am with you brother...... . Not trying to be an elitist but taking out all of the pre-reqs, like nutrition, patho, health related stuff just means that they will have MORE classes to learn and...

  20. St Joseph Medical Center Phoenix AZ

    yellowlablover replied to kateskards's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Actually, the commute shouldn't be too bad, maybe 30 minutes max. I assume you will be driving at hours that are less busy. I live in NE Scottsdale and commute to Phoenix Children's more than 25...

  21. St Joseph Medical Center Phoenix AZ

    yellowlablover replied to kateskards's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I don't know much about St. Joe's but I thought it was a magnet hospital. I may be confusing it with Good Sam but one of them is. Within the St. Joe's system is one of the all time best, world class...

  22. I am in hell

    yellowlablover replied to CANewRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Here is another perspective on this.....I am a little frustrated that the list to get into the MCC system is so long and that it takes up to three semester after you apply to get in. So I am applying...

  23. ADN vs. BSN (kinda long, sorry!)

    yellowlablover replied to xchickenx's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Some more data for your consideration.....I am in a similar situation, having a B.S. in Business from ASU. I originally planned on getting my BSN from ASU and then, after my ethics class last spring,...

  24. Rio Salado Bio 156 Midterm....

    yellowlablover replied to PaSsIoN_4_NuRsInG's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I agree completely and was, in fact, surprised about the level of intensity and really, difficulty of these courses. I suppose the fact they are 'internet' only classes has some bearing on the amount...

  25. Rio Salado Bio 156 Midterm....

    yellowlablover replied to PaSsIoN_4_NuRsInG's topic in Arizona Nursing

    No kidding! I may be wrong about this but I sense that you are looking for a way to short circuit the studying process. Having taken all of my science pre reqs at Rio, I would strongly advise...
