  1. What order to take prereq's in

    MsBruiser replied to AZmom's topic in Arizona Nursing

    From my experience two years ago, Rio would not let you get out of Bio 156 without taking a formal test. No way you could wing it after 15

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

    MsBruiser replied to mark hamel's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Wow - you really hit the nail on the head. See my previous post - "uh...ok." I was just too lazy going head to head with yet another uninformed Republican type. In fact, I have often found that the...

  3. Any bedside nurses making over 100K ?

    MsBruiser replied to EveMJRN's topic in General Nursing

    One of the TV stations in the Bay Area did a news story on SF City firefighters who do just that - live in rural Oregon, Chandler (AZ), and other cities - swap shifts to work a whole bunch in a row,...

  4. Renting an apt in Scottsdale

    MsBruiser replied to Seank's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Where in NY are you moving from? Critters are a huge problem - and a good exterminator cannot get rid of the more pesky ones such as scorpians. If the bug sittuation is really, really a big issue you...

  5. Moving, need help please

    MsBruiser replied to twiceaslucky's topic in Arizona Nursing

    If you are thinking about their facilities in downtown Phoenix - it is hideously far away and you are looking at grinding traffic. If you are thinking about "closer" facilities in Chandler or Mesa -...

    MsBruiser replied to mark hamel's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Objection to a particular policy does not equate to treating foreign nurses poorly. That is like an American saying, "I won't travel to France - they hate Americans." Just because the French object to...

    According to KJZZ (91.5 - NPR) they voted the union

  10. Questions abou Immunizations & titer

    MsBruiser replied to maryruth's topic in Arizona Nursing

    ASU has a nurse practioner clinic for the public - they are excellent and relatively "cheap." Physical exam is $50.00 - titers around $25.00. Call them to schedule appointment at 480.941.9283 or...

    MsBruiser replied to mark hamel's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Forgot to say - so the answer to uniting divergent places is still a union. National organization handles policy position while locals negotiate based on specifics to that place - hospital ownership,...

    MsBruiser replied to mark hamel's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Unfortunately, achieving a uniform/national consensus on all nursing issues is nearly impossible. Just look at the diversity of strongly held beliefs on this board. But uniting around key issues -...

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

    MsBruiser replied to mark hamel's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I purposefully used the word "boneheads." When posters insert snide little "left wing" remarks in posts - I find that equally insulting, and turning the other cheek so less satisfying. And still no...

    MsBruiser replied to mark hamel's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Traveling Nurse - that is the drawback of AZ, a right to work state. On the other hand, you don't have to scrape ice off of your windshield on a cold winter's morning (at least in metro Phoenix). So...

    MsBruiser replied to mark hamel's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I for one love left wing politics and can't stand right wing boneheads. And along those lines - are there any facilities in Arizona with a strong union? I know that is an oxymoron in the case of...

  17. Cussing Co-Workers

    MsBruiser replied to Furoffire's topic in General Nursing

    I definitely agree with the previous two posters. References to Christianity and/or one's religious lifestyle in a work environment are very offensive to me - just as offensive as say

    I'd second

  19. AZ ADN - PDA Advice

    MsBruiser posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Howdy! For the Maricopa County ADN programs (I'm doing Banner), what bundle of PDA software do you recommend? I am going to get a PDA anyway (loved 'em at work), but I'm wondering what software I...

    MsBruiser replied to egroeg_kyut's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I would focus on Scottsdale and then Cave Creek. Scottsdale is very convenient to JCL North Mountain. My wife works in downtown Scottsdale and we live near JCL North Mountain. Her commute takes 20...

    MsBruiser replied to egroeg_kyut's topic in Arizona Nursing

    One other thing - try and schedule an appointment with nursing advisors at some of the community colleges before you come out - and also ASU. Have your transcripts with you - they can at least give...

    MsBruiser replied to egroeg_kyut's topic in Arizona Nursing

    JCL actually has their own program through Paradise Valley Community College in which they train both the public and their nurses to be RNs. Check it out on their website, or better yet, ask the JCL...

    MsBruiser replied to GrnHonu99's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Right now, as of today, there are 668 students awaiting placement for the Maricopa County Community College District nursing programs. I'm not sure how many programs admit students in January, but...

    MsBruiser replied to egroeg_kyut's topic in Arizona Nursing

    JCL has two campuses. One is way north of the city, near where Madwife lives - Anthem, AZ. It is a brandnew facility and very close to some very nice suburbs. The other JCL campus, North Mountain, is...
