  2. Is It Wrong to Look at Your Own Medical Info?

    jamonit replied to jamonit's topic in General Nursing

  6. Working as a nurse extern

    jamonit replied to Glina's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I totally recommend working as an extern prior to graduating. If I could have changed one thing about my nursing career, that would be what I would have done. I work on a tele floor at Mayo--and...

    jamonit replied to DaughteroftheKing's topic in Arizona Nursing

  12. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    jamonit replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    jamonit replied to holdensjane's topic in General Nursing

    I have found that your gross pay (benefit-based money) is actually the money you make without factoring in weekend/night dif. Some places, such as where I am employed actually have a fixed rate night...

  15. Tell me about John C Lincoln PLZ

    jamonit replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I did not enjoy my clinicals at JCL North Mountain, as I found that during my OB rotation, there was a lack of respect for students in that department. I would consider working in another department...

  16. Ethel Bauer School of Nursing Phoenix

    jamonit replied to rcidro's topic in Arizona Nursing

    As a graduate of EBSN's second class, I resent your sentiments. First of all, you are discounting the school based on really broad generalities. The "lack of knowledge" you claim to have seen in the...
