    sassiebaz replied to nursemelani's topic in LPN to RN

  13. Valley Fever (?) - What is that?

    sassiebaz replied to cclife06's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Now, correct me if Im wrong but, when I was in medical assisting school we learned that the "coccidioides" a fungus, lives in the soil. With Arizona being so dry and hot and of course no ocean breeze,...

  14. Summer classes at GCC

    sassiebaz replied to Glina's topic in Arizona Nursing

  16. Summer classes at GCC

    sassiebaz replied to Glina's topic in Arizona Nursing

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

    I understand what you are saying and I totally agree! I too have decided to do an LPN program. I have 3 kids and Im not very good at math so that has caused me to forgo the hopes of becomming a...

  20. Any Thoughts On Yuma?

    sassiebaz replied to Ayrman's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Seriously though, where are you living right now? Are you saying that where you currently live is "hell"? Yuma, in my opinion would be moving TO hell from here in Phoenix. Im not sure what sparked...

  21. Rio Salado - no discussion?

    sassiebaz replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Arizona Nursing
