  1. Franklin Pierce Nursing School??

    sassiebaz replied to Amburgerz12's topic in Arizona Nursing

    So, does anyone have info ont his program? Is it the same as the Baptist Hospital one? Is the 2-year including or excluding pre-req's....those are some of the questions I

  2. What do you do right now?

  4. Prereqs For Maricopa Community LPN

    sassiebaz replied to 2ndxstudent's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You will need your CNA as well as HCC130 and medical terminology. I believe it's HCC130, I should go back and look to make sure but anyway, on the gateway site it will give you this info. Go into the...

    Well ladies, I have officially withdrwan from the LPN Aug. start date. This is now the second time that life has gotten in the way of me pursuing this field. My husband was laid off recently and the...

  8. Question about pay

    sassiebaz replied to sbenning5's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The only thing I have heard of relating to that is called...."double weekends".....where you work Sat/Sun 16 hours each day and you get paid for 40 hours of work. Im not in the nursing field but I...

  9. ASU BSN "critical track" course questions..

    sassiebaz replied to Hausfrau's topic in Arizona Nursing

    My point was that it just would make sense financially, to do the ADN at a community college and then go the ASU for the BSN......Almost all of the nurses I know, have told me go straight for my RN...

  10. ASU BSN "critical track" course questions..

    sassiebaz replied to Hausfrau's topic in Arizona Nursing

    See, the thing you are missing, is that doing the ADN program is like taking regular transfer credits in a sense. You take evrything neccesary to get the ADN (associate degree of nursing) and then...

  11. Need education advice!!

    sassiebaz replied to Hausfrau's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I agree that 12 credits can be difficult especially when they are all academic classes. I tried algebra and BIO in one semester and really it was too much for me. Now, Im probably not the norm because...

  12. Need education advice!!

    sassiebaz replied to Hausfrau's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Did you get the results back from your placement tests? I believe that is what that might be saying....you got marks high enough to register for those level classes. I personally did not test real...

  13. Maricopa skills or Southwest skills center??

    sassiebaz replied to sassiebaz's topic in Arizona Nursing

    FYI...if you read the date of each post it will be more clear. Sometimes people respond to a post long after it was originated. In this case, Westvalley posted that last year in November. The good...

  14. Lpn Stressful???

    sassiebaz posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Is being an LPN as stressful as an R.N? I keep hearing that nursing is so stressful. I just wonder if it's the same case as the lpn role. My friend works in LTC and she doesn't seem to think it's that...

    sassiebaz posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Does anyone know what unit secretaries make? I called gateway and they said alot of nursing students that are waiting to get into the program are taking this course to get into the hosp. and work....

  17. Job Prospects in Phoenix/Scottsdale area

    sassiebaz replied to mikeyk's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'd say your chances are great for CNA work. Fairly well for phlebotomy. Cna's make anywhere from $8-$15 depending on where you work and your experience. I know my friend is a nurse at a LTC facility...

  18. Hairstylist to LPN?

    sassiebaz replied to sassiebaz's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I still havent been able to make a decision. However, it seems with the way the economy is going, nursing is a smarter choice for me. I go back and forth weekly! Does anyone have any

  20. Maricopa Skill Center

    sassiebaz replied to mkalizmoore's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Im in the August start date. Not sure if I will be attending though! The folks in student services are not always "together". But, I cannot possibly imagine what their workload is like so Im not...

  21. LVN returning to nursing

    sassiebaz replied to VeroRN71's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Well, where did you work before you had kids? LTC? Clinic? Hospital? I guess it all depends on the type of patient you are wanting to be working with and type of facility. LTC is always hiring,...

  23. GCC CNA Program

    sassiebaz replied to West Valley's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I was considering doing my CNA through Gateway, but one semester does seem like a long time for that! I would love to take it through one of these schools that only have it for 3-5 weeks. However, I...

  25. Nice Areas To Live

    sassiebaz replied to LJUN71's topic in Arizona Nursing

    That's a little unfair! I live in Phoenix and I feel safe and its not under construction where I live. There are plenty of nice area in the Phoenix city limits! Now, if you are talking downtown thats...
