  1. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    UofAPNP2B posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    I interviewed for the nurse fellows program through Banner about three weeks ago and still haven't heard anything! I was talking to another girl there for an interview who said that her friend (I...

  2. 3 baby assignments

    UofAPNP2B replied to MA Nurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    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

  3. Banner Fellows October cohorts

    UofAPNP2B posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hey all, I know this is probably a stab in the dark, but thought I'd try. Any other Banner Fellows on here who have had to deal with Financial Aid? Gateway is telling me that for Block III, which...

  4. Banner Desert Childrens

    UofAPNP2B replied to FazRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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...

  5. Woot woot!

    UofAPNP2B posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    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...

  6. Woot woot!

    UofAPNP2B replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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...

  8. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    UofAPNP2B replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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...

  9. Frustrated with process

    UofAPNP2B replied to bonitamiaRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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....

  10. Banner Good Sam?

    UofAPNP2B replied to nessa77's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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...

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

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

    UofAPNP2B replied to blessed2011's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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...

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

    UofAPNP2B replied to blessed2011's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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,...

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

    UofAPNP2B replied to blessed2011's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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...

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

    UofAPNP2B replied to Calzonan RN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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...

    UofAPNP2B replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Wow, this thread has grown since I started it! Congrats to everyone who got in! I'm almost done with it all, thank GOD. As long as I pass Block IV, which so far has been the most ridiculously hard...

  17. shoes for clinicals?

    UofAPNP2B replied to futureaznurse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yeah, solid white is the rule. I swore up and down that I wouldn't buy those granny-looking Dansko shoes but after two blocks of Sketcher pain I caved! I say go with the

  18. Banner Fellows October cohorts

    UofAPNP2B replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

    They do pay for everything, but I'm using student loans to cover living expenses. Well, at least a little of them. I went from making $50,000 a year to nothing while I'm in school and it hurts! :)...

    Hey, I'm at Gateway and we're there way over 20 hours a week! I'm getting shafted

  21. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    UofAPNP2B replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I don't know if they change the questions between cohorts or not - maybe Stopnik's were different - but you had to give examples of times that you showed compassion, times you showed good customer...

  22. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    UofAPNP2B replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Awesome. Thanks for the info! I went to orientation today and Linda was there, but nothing about the extern program yet. I'm really impressed so far, and I've only been to orientation. It seems...

    UofAPNP2B replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

    It's great to hear from someone who is already in it! I'm so excited, I have orientation on Monday and I can hardly stand the wait. I quit my job in order to do this because I figured that it would be...

  24. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    UofAPNP2B replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I start in two weeks and no I don't work for Banner. I've been doing mortgages for the last six years and I'm soooo ready for a change! From what I can tell they won't give preference to people...

  25. Curious about Queem Creek

    UofAPNP2B replied to nickj88's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I live out in Queen Creek. We bought our house last year and were really nervous about the commute because we had heard from sooo many people that it was horrible. It's not. The backups are nearly...
