    serenity1 replied to mommy2babyb's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Well, there are really no jobs for new grads on any shift right now. That could change by the time you graduate, though. I have friends that did get jobs on days. It just depends. Most of my...

    serenity1 replied to kc1986's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Call the nursing department at ASU and make an appointment with an advisor. They will tell you everything you need to know/do to get into the program. When I went, the GPA and NET were part of the...

    serenity1 replied to RN2b23's topic in Arizona Nursing

  9. Opinions on OB/Peds rotation???

    serenity1 replied to Sl1011's topic in General Students

    OB/peds were intense in my program. OB is all new info. The previous poster is right about peds--it's a mini med/surge for kids. Lots of childhood diseases, burns, drowning, etc. It's doable, but...

    serenity1 replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

  11. Help failing block 1!!!

    serenity1 replied to gilbertstudent's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I understand how you feel. It's very frustrating when a test does not reflect what you were taught in class. You need to get a good Nclex book and start doing questions related to the area you are...

  13. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    serenity1 replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Good luck with that. Each block's schedule is different, and you don't always know too far in advance what it will be. They change a lot, too. The most important thing you will need at EMCC is a...

  14. Moving to Arizonia

    serenity1 replied to ToBANurse2010's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Make sure you have a job first. There are many new grads here with few job opportunities for them. I can understand leaving MI, though. I left 2 yrs. ago. Love it here. Good luck to

    serenity1 replied to thekid's topic in General Nursing

  21. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    serenity1 replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I don't understand how they can change a contract with "45 days" and decide to make it "flexible". That isn't holding up their end of the contract. If no offer in that 45 days, you should be...
