1. 3 baby assignments

   UofAPNP2B replied to MA Nurse's topic in NICU

   IYQYGR, I think we work at the same hospital in AZ. :) It's so frustrating because nobody in upper management seems to care that we all KNOW it's not safe. Where to go to get things changed??

2. Banner Desert Childrens

   UofAPNP2B replied to FazRN's topic in Arizona

   I work in the NICU right now as an extern II (just graduated last night - woot!) and I really like it. They are expanding like crazy right now because they are slated to open their 100+ bed level III NICU this year, and are also finishing up another...

3. Woot woot!

   UofAPNP2B replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona

   Thanks! Crap, the phone calls are coming in. We've lost a third of the class we started out with. Wow. Truthfully, I can't say I feel smarter than anyone who didn't make it. I feel like with the way these tests were worded that it was simply luck tha...

4. Woot woot!

   UofAPNP2B posted a topic in Arizona

   I need to brag and celebrate! Just took my Block IV nursing process final and passed yesterday. It was CLOSE for the entire class, as we were all sitting around a 76%. Yikes. I am so excited to move on and take my NCLEX and go on to a career after al...

5. When to call the doctor?

   UofAPNP2B replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in General Students

   It does, but let me give you of an example of a test question I had a few weeks ago that got me: Pt has had an angio cath done. Suddenly they complain of tingling, numbness, loss of feeling in the leg. Would you call the doctor first or feel for a ...

6. When to call the doctor?

   UofAPNP2B posted a topic in General Students

   Hi there! This may seem like a stupid question, but I'm going to throw it out there anyway. I seem to be having a hard time with test questions that have "call the doctor" as one of the answers to choose from. I know these are "critical thinking" ...

7. Officially an RN

   UofAPNP2B replied to Calzonan RN's topic in Arizona

   Congrats Keli! That's wonderful! All those hours studying paid off.

8. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

   UofAPNP2B replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona

   Oh! I thought they were going to continue Fellows at MCC. Bummer! I'll look for ya, Julie! As long as I pass.....*bites nails* How is your class doing in Block IV? Our entire class is just barely hovering around a 76% because of the way our last...

9. Frustrated with process

   UofAPNP2B replied to bonitamiaRN's topic in Arizona

   If that irks you I hope you don't ever have to deal with their financial aid department. Full of morons! LOL! I would just go ahead and take the test. It takes maybe 1/2 an hour and is no biggie. Extremely easy.

10. Banner Good Sam?

    UofAPNP2B replied to nessa77's topic in Arizona

    I have done a few clinicals there in the ER and I must say it's one of my favorite places to go. It's extremely busy but everyone there is VERY helpful to newbies/students. The setup is awesome and Good Sam has a great reputation. Congrats! I would L...

11. Banner Fellows October cohorts

    UofAPNP2B replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona

    You usually have classes Mon/Tues or Wed/Thurs. The other two days are clinical days.

12. Is anyone going thru the Banner Fellows Program right now?

    UofAPNP2B replied to blessed2011's topic in Arizona

    There's always one of each block going at all times, so there will be another Block III in March. But those people are in block II right now and we won't know if they've passed or not until the end of this "semester". :)

13. Is anyone going thru the Banner Fellows Program right now?

    UofAPNP2B replied to blessed2011's topic in Arizona

    I'm in the accelerated Fellows program, so my Block started in October - all of our blocks end in March and the new one starts up in March, so we'll know if someone failed at the end of February, really. I'm not sure about the traditional program. Yo...

14. Is anyone going thru the Banner Fellows Program right now?

    UofAPNP2B replied to blessed2011's topic in Arizona

    I don't know the exact passing rate, but I'm in Block IV at Gateway and they are constantly bragging to us about having one of the best pass rates in the district. Eh, it's nursing school and yes it sucks, but I would recommend Gateway. At least f...

15. Just took the HESI NCLEX-RN class and....

    UofAPNP2B replied to Calzonan RN's topic in Arizona

    Keli, you were a Banner Fellow, right? Did they use the Saunders book or one of their own? I'm confused. I know at the end of our block in March they all have planned for our cohort to take a review class, but if I already have the NCLEX book maybe ...
