    Flagstaff Nurses; feedback please

    WoosahRN replied to catlover314's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Well, I will try to help. I lived in Flagstaff twice for about a year each time. I am an Arizona Native and one of those times was to just move in with some friends and get out of Phx for a while....

    LVN to RN or Straight to RN?

    WoosahRN replied to np224's topic in General Nursing

    In most of the Associate RN programs you are eligible to test for your LPN after the first two blocks. I just graduated from an RN program but tested for my LPN half way through so I could start...

    Ok, so I am being impatient. Graduated from a Maricopa Community College on May 9th. Paperwork was in to the AZBON in April. Received confirmation via mail and on the online verification that...

    Time for ATT?

    WoosahRN replied to WoosahRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yeah, did everything online. None of my other classmates have received anything so it's got to be the school. They aren't known for organization. And we had "heard" that they wait 10 days AFTER...

    Anybody know about MGA health care??

    WoosahRN replied to arin9020's topic in Arizona Nursing

    MGA does a lot of home care. I don't know about the hospital stuff. I have met CNAs who hated it but then I have met nurses who loved it. I did interview but decided to stay with my job until I...

    Life care center of north glendale

    WoosahRN replied to monee8870's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I worked there for one month as a CNA about 3 years ago. The time line can tell you. It was my first CNA job, hated it. They had a rotating schedule and because I was in school I had to take...

    WoosahRN replied to autopsy's topic in General Nursing

    Block 1 was the hardest. I wanted to quit. I was afraid I got into the wrong profession. But then as things started clicking between classes and clinical learning I realized that I am in the right...

    WoosahRN replied to PHLEBOTOMIST_TO_RN's topic in General Nursing

    My mom is also a nurse and I remember her telling me that the new grad pay here in AZ when she graduated in 1979 was 3.75/hr!!!! Then she went to another hospital that had the highest pay in the...

    Shoes with Wheels! Would you want to try them?

    WoosahRN replied to S.T.A.C.E.Y's topic in General Nursing

    They would probably give us more work if we were zipping around so fast!

    ? about getting LPN and externing.

    WoosahRN replied to Calzonan RN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Sorry if this is repeated info. I did contact the state board about this issue and they basically there is not a licensing problem. I got my LPN for pay reasons (I was working as a CNA-I am now...

    Is a 78% school pass rate for NCLEX PN good?

    WoosahRN replied to Bala Shark's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I am in an RN program but I took the LPN at the halfway point. If I am not mistaken our school has a 100% pass rate but that is probably because not everyone takes it. I remember because I was so...

    Best places for scrubs?

    WoosahRN replied to PhoenixGirl's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yeah, the only place you can get them is at the place that does the tops. That way the dye/colors match. You can still wear the white

    Wearing scrubs home??

    WoosahRN replied to Rn2bKatie's topic in General Nursing

    Just a thought. We had the director of infection control for our hospitals (that we work through) come to our school to lecture. He agreed that the best solution was to change clothes when we got...

    "Abandonment"

    WoosahRN replied to erkantarik's topic in General Nursing

    Sigh, I can't wait to graduate. My school has so many politics it's ridiculous. They change the rules according to whatever they want. What one class had to do, the next doesn't and vice versa....
