  2. starting a new career at phoenix arizona

    GilbertDaddy replied to egroeg_kyut's topic in Arizona Nursing

    It's important to remember too though, that rent prices are fairly controlled. For example, most houses rarely go above 1,000 because they end up pricing themselves out of the market. As one person...

    GilbertDaddy replied to studentnurseinmd's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks Vicky :) I'm always open for suggestions from the wonderful nurses here. I've got a big PM box with lots of space, so if anyone has suggestions, comments, or ideas, feel free to toss em my way...

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

    GilbertDaddy replied to xchickenx's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hah, I'm in the same boat as Thrash, I have a dual associate already (AA/AGS), but not much applied to nursing, so I'm taking the classes all over again lol :) I chose ADN because it would be quicker...

  5. MICRO test grade freak out...

    GilbertDaddy replied to allthingsbright's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Awesome!! I did that once in Accounting 230 a couple years ago. Figured I would at BESt, get a C and ended up with a 94. It's like caffeine for the soul, after that, I actually studied harder than...

  6. Having hard time with Pre-Reqs

    GilbertDaddy replied to WannaBeMaleRN's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I can empathize, I'm also a parent to two kids and taking pre-reqs. I've found it's definitely challenging at times. Like was said above, outlines are your friends. Also, try writing the...

  7. salaries in us for RN's

    GilbertDaddy replied to curlysin's topic in General Nursing

    Arizona is quickly becoming one of the fastest growing states (actually I think we were #1 or #2). The cost of living down here affords a family a 4 br 2 ba house with a nice 2 car garage for under...

  8. starting a new career at phoenix arizona

    GilbertDaddy replied to egroeg_kyut's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hah, I tend to agree with you there. I was looking at the new photos of our freeway (the SanTan 202) and when you’re out here on “soft-asphalt” highways, your car will feel like a LEXUS because...

    GilbertDaddy replied to egroeg_kyut's topic in Arizona Nursing

  10. starting rate of lpn?

    GilbertDaddy replied to purie's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hola! Salary.com says between ~33k to 38k. Here's a link to their "basic" report, I think they also give you a pic of your paycheck (with their estimated breakdown) as well:...

  11. Psycology in Nursing Practice

    GilbertDaddy replied to -Midget-'s topic in General Nursing

    Agree with what was said, I'd imagine that especially in nursing (where care is provided rather than prescribed), it would make a difference. A good nurse needs to be able to empathize on the...

  12. Quitting after orientation, part deux

    GilbertDaddy replied to sarita279's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The care you provide will be a direct reflection of your mental and physical well-being. Before you get too entrenched in a program, I say do what you want and just continue to work it. Sounds like...

    GilbertDaddy replied to egroeg_kyut's topic in Arizona Nursing

  16. starting a new career at phoenix arizona

    GilbertDaddy replied to egroeg_kyut's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Your experience with Mesquite sounds about right, the neighborhood brought me to think it may be that way The summers are DEF that hot! Although, if you're in the Gilbert area, there is a gym nearby...

  17. Which path would you take to become a RN??

    GilbertDaddy replied to iheartnursing_cali's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  18. starting a new career at phoenix arizona

    GilbertDaddy replied to egroeg_kyut's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yeah along the "Baseline Corridor" as they call it (the area along south mountain), they're rapidly growing. I was actually going to be part of a VIP owned RE/MAX franchise, so I got to know VIP...

  19. Which path would you take to become a RN??

    GilbertDaddy replied to iheartnursing_cali's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Wow, so what is the total time to get everything done necessary to be an RN? Here in AZ, at least from what I read, you need your ~1.5 years of prereqs (3 bio classes that primarily can't be taken...

  20. starting a new career at phoenix arizona

    GilbertDaddy replied to egroeg_kyut's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Ugh, tell me about it! I work around there too but live on the outskirts. The city seems nice if I could afford one of these million dollar condo lofts (biltmore, esplanade, etc.), but unless I'm...

  21. starting a new career at phoenix arizona

    GilbertDaddy replied to egroeg_kyut's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yep, you're not too far off, the center of Phoenix is primarily for folks who need to be close to work (read: no transportation) or that need VERY cheap rent (read: less than 450/month)....

  22. starting a new career at phoenix arizona

    GilbertDaddy replied to egroeg_kyut's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Oh and on each school link there is a 'boundaries' link that should give a map or some streets to go by. I'm not sure if you can get a Sunday copy of the Arizona Republic...

    GilbertDaddy replied to egroeg_kyut's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hi Belinda! Gilbert actually has the #2 schools in the nation last I checked, you're good there :) I have a 4.5 year old and a 15 month old. My daughter will start Kindergarten in August a few days...

  25. Just a simple request :)

    GilbertDaddy posted a topic in General Nursing

    As I've read the board, we've spoken a lot about things like pay in 'our area', or traffic, or things that are very localized. Problem is, in the poster's profile, they don't have their state listed!...
