  1. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

  2. phoenix nicus

    serenity1 replied to ladybuckeye7's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Make sure you have a job before moving--many hiring freezes here in the Valley of the Sun. Best wishes to all that are still looking for

  3. Need to determine dose based on weight.

    serenity1 replied to deemarys's topic in General Students

    I got the same thing-8 ml per dose. The way I would do it is: 15 kg x 40mg = 600 mg 600 mg per dose / 3 doses =200 mg 125 mg:5 ml = 200 mg:X ml--ratio problem-- multiply inside numbers 5x200=1000...

  4. Do you know if any hospitals in Phoenix are hiring new grads???

    serenity1 replied to geisha70's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The Phoenix area is not a good place to look for an RN job at the moment-- especially if you are a new grad. If you are planning to relocate, make sure you have the job first. Many of the hopsitals...

  7. Anyone use Potter & Perry 7th Edition Nursing Fundamentals?

    serenity1 replied to Felicia327's topic in General Students

    I use it. We are told by the instructors to study the nclex-style questions at the back of each chapter, online(evolve) and disk that came with the book. They are helpful. I skim the chapters,...

  8. Fending for yourself in clinical normal?

    serenity1 replied to bioniclewoman's topic in General Students

    My clinical instructors are excellent--however, the more confident they are in our skills, the less we see of them. I like it this way. They don't try to "get" us in front of everyone. If we have a...

    I'm at Estrella Mountain CC RN

  10. Any hospitals that pay for schooling?

    serenity1 replied to azarizonagirl's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Banner is the only one I know of. You have to have certain prereq's and NET done and be on a waiting list at one of the MCCCD schools. Their website is bannerhealth.com-go to careers, education,...

  11. Current/past students...what is your schedule?

    serenity1 replied to Calbrunette's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm in the accelerated program and just finished block one. We went M&T 1/2 day, W&TH full lab days. When clinicals started, we stopped going to W&TH lab and just go Friday-12 hours at a...

    serenity1 replied to MHaffer's topic in General Students

    My instructor invited our class to join facebook. It's a cool way to keep up with other

    serenity1 replied to AudreyHurston's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hi I just finished a rotation in L&D and there were 3 lesbian RN's and 1 surgical tech in that department. No one cared. If that's what you want to do, go for it!!! Best

  14. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    serenity1 replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hi all I just finished block 1 at EMCC/BF. We were never told that the 104AB class was elective. I don't know. Personally, I find it a waste of time. Our teachers do whatever they want with the...

  15. Couple of questions about schools-Phoenix

    serenity1 replied to JD810's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I agree with Grand Canyon, especially since you have a Bachelor's degree. You probably have a lot of prereq's done already with that. I would check out the Banner program, too. You have to attend...

  16. How many semesters did YOU wait???

    serenity1 replied to bellabarbiegirl's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I was date stamped in May of 07. I had Phoenix College as my first choice, then Estrella, Glendale, Gateway, Bosewell. I still had not made it in by FAll 08. I got in through Banner Nurse Fellows...

  17. Evidence Based Practice

    serenity1 replied to VAJenny's topic in General Nursing

    Hi I agree with the hospital or school library. I just had to do a presentation on an EBP. I did find that the more narrow your topic, the better results you will get. I wanted something to do with...

  18. RN student assigned to LPN???

    serenity1 replied to Sara5229's topic in General Students

    We are always assigned to an RN, but I end up following the LPN because the RN's don't want to be bothered. I figured out very fast that I would learn more following the LPN, and they have been very...

  19. Are you planning to go on to become a Nurse Practitioner?

    serenity1 replied to Misslady113's topic in General Nursing

    I think so. We'll see how school goes. I want to work in women's health because of the issue's I've had as a woman trying to get dr.'s to listen. I know I would be much more caring and...

  20. Which class would you recommend? Please respond!!

    serenity1 replied to rawoysteraddict's topic in General Students

    Hello I am in block one right now, and if I had the option before classes started, I would have taken Medical Term. It wasn't a prereq for me either, and I'm always looking up terms. Just my...

  21. For Fun - Things You Want to Buy Once You're a Nurse

    serenity1 replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Students

    What a fun post! I'd like to be able to buy a home. That's my big goal. And to pay-off any remaining credit card debt! Little fun things would be: a day at a spa for some much-needed pampering Wii...

  22. Maricopa community colleges-Full time job-what should I do?

    serenity1 replied to NUR151's topic in General Students

    Hello I agree with Lynn about checking with the advisors. I'm in an accelerated program and there is no way I could work your schedule and survive. Rio Salado has classes on-line. Maybe that would...
