    MsBruiser replied to egroeg_kyut's topic in Arizona Nursing

    It's all good, Rain Dreamer! Sorry to you if I didn't come off right, either...that is the problem with these boards, sometimes. My folks used to live in Florida, when they first retired, and in the...

    Real estate market is going through a downward trend - or rather, on the cusp of one. Maybe hold on a bit more and see where the prices go???? That is what we are doing - but, we have yet to find our...

    Do you really want me to go digging for the actual stats? You can look for the schools - I can look for libraries, and we can have a duel right here on allnurses! The AIM reading standards are a...

    Madwife - don't take the school thing so seriously. My parents are both retired New York City school teachers and they are constantly trying to get my wife and I to move to Anthem because they think...

    Let's not get into a flaming discussion about generalization. Yet, I think our remarks that the schools in Arizona are "lacking" can be construed as a vast generalization. So you are just as guilty as...

    I'd second that...libraries are particularly good because noone reads in this state - you can always find the book you are looking

    The old AZ dilema - lousy schools or lousy weather? Strong parental support and library card will hopefully overcome the schooling deficit (noone reads here - libraries always have good

    Is Epocrates helpful for care

  11. starting a new career at phoenix arizona

    MsBruiser replied to egroeg_kyut's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm from the Northeast originally, and I can say with confidence the schools are miserable out here. People tend to put more of a priority on their "toys" (jet skis, dune buggies, etc.) than education...

    MsBruiser posted a topic in General Nursing

    This is I'm due to start an accelerated RN program as part of a career change (MBA background to RN). Most everyone is very positive about my change except my father, who consistently tells me "I...

  16. Doctor interaction?

    MsBruiser replied to MsBruiser's topic in General Nursing

    Hah! I like your analogy about pilots and docs - though given the recent shakeup in the airline industry, they have been knocked down a few notches! I've run into more than my share of inflated egos...

  17. Please be nice to medical students

    MsBruiser replied to cantor2537's topic in General Nursing

    This is an interesting post. I have a question. I'm due to start an accelerated RN program as part of a career change (MBA background to RN). Most everyone is very positive about my change except my...

  18. Q's for the Arizona natives:)

    MsBruiser replied to GrnHonu99's topic in Arizona Nursing

    If you need any advice regarding Central Phoenix neighborhoods, restaurants - just PM me. My wife and I live in that area - and know all the "spots." We also "did our time" in Ohio - 3.5 years in...

    MsBruiser replied to chester427's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You are right about that. My wife and I live on one of the few "affordable" streets left between 7th ave and 7th Street. House just sold for almost $400,000 (a mold-infested wreck) and then it was...

    That's the most important thing - see for yourself. Different people see things different

    Good deal - enjoy your stay! RNMOM: go to the Arizona State Board of Nursing Website - all information is there re: licensing. My folks just moved to Anthem, AZ after living in South

    MsBruiser replied to english_nurse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    First of all, I should say congrats on getting to cross the pond and discover the US. I hope you love our country as much as I love your country! Second, Casa Grande is a small town - but one without...

  23. Rio Salado BIO205 midterm

    MsBruiser replied to maryruth's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Just have to add - I think Rio classes are way harder than an "in-person" college class. Not that it isn't possible to get all A(s). That is not a big deal - just takes lots more time and effort due...

  24. Casa Grande Az- im on my way!!!!

    MsBruiser replied to english_nurse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You will probably find my thoughts on that hospital elsewhere on this board. They are not positive - there is a reason they need to "import" nurses from abroad to work in that facility. It is...

    Hey Boomer! Finally, someone acknowledged that the Central Phoenix area has some great neighborhoods! I live in North Central Phoenix (near Glendale and Central Aves) - one of the zip codes covered by...
