    sassiebaz replied to LJUN71's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Im a "Westsider" having never lived in the East valley, Im biased too! Gilbert is actually further from Phoneix than Avondale. Avondale is west, Gilbert(SE) and Maricopa is East. In all areas of town...

    sassiebaz replied to Hausfrau's topic in Arizona Nursing

  13. Maricopa Skill Center

    sassiebaz replied to mkalizmoore's topic in Arizona Nursing

  18. Pima Medical Institute

    sassiebaz replied to AZMOMO2's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Most of these tech schools are this way. Even schools like Bryman, will not give out financial info over the phone. It's just what is asked of them by their schools policy. I know it's frustrating, it...

  23. Do they count LPN experience re: pay?

    sassiebaz replied to Innurse78's topic in Arizona Nursing
