  1. Pima CC

    Wicked Wahine replied to RoxyRed's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yeah, I think it's just an 8 week program that involves an extra class and an extra clinical day for the last 8 weeks of the second semester. Don't quote me on that though, I'm not in the program so...

  2. Relocating to Arizona

    Wicked Wahine replied to LynneCharter44's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Isn't UPH the newly revamped Kino hospital? If so, I have some friends who've had clinical rotations through there and they are still definitely working out some major kinks. It used to be a pretty...

  3. Relocating to Arizona

    Wicked Wahine replied to LynneCharter44's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yes, exactly what cardiacRN said! And yes, there is definitely a need here in Tucson. My husband is from Mass too and in fact we may be moving there at some point in the next few years. I hear it's...

  4. Pima CC

    Wicked Wahine replied to RoxyRed's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Pima no longer has a seperate LPN program, it's part of the regular RN program. During your second semester (or at least that's how they did it this semester), they let students sign up for the extra...

  5. Seton Hall NS article re: students failing HESI

    Wicked Wahine replied to AtomicWoman's topic in General Students

    My NS has the requirement that you must pass the exit HESI with 75% or better in order to graduate. Personally, I don't like it. It seems like an artificial way of boosting a school's NCLEX pass...

  6. Nurses Smoking

    Wicked Wahine replied to JENNLEE's topic in General Nursing

    Regardless of the vice (smoking, drinking, whatever), it's unfair to assume that all healthcare professionals act as role models just based on their choice of career. Of course individuals may...

    Wicked Wahine replied to JENNLEE's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, my post just poofed! Did it get lost in the

  8. Fast track bachelor in Midwifery???

    Wicked Wahine replied to taylordaly14's topic in General Nursing

    If you're talking about becoming a CNM (certified nurse midwife), then that's an advanced practice nursing education, which means a master's program. You start off by becoming an RN with a BSN and...

  9. Am being treated poorly

    Wicked Wahine replied to sharann's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I feel like this is an overreaction. Honestly, I've grown up around tons of spanish speakers (so ashamed to say I never learned it, I plan to though!), so maybe I just have a different...

  10. Feeling lost during clinicals

    Wicked Wahine replied to Jedi of Zen's topic in General Students

    I'm in my second semester too and some days I feel pretty lost too. You really need to get over being too shy to ask fellow students, other RNs and especially your clinical instructor questions....

  11. Starting NS this Fall at Pima, anyone else?

    Wicked Wahine replied to Wicked Wahine's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hi Ashlee! Orientation was fine and Marti just basically touched on stuff that's all in the nursing school handbook. We also got our schedules! My first semester clinicals are going to be at TMC....

  12. Starting NS this Fall at Pima, anyone else?

    Wicked Wahine replied to Wicked Wahine's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Oh hey, I'm in class with you! Yes, I was totally intimidated by all of the info I either didn't remember or never knew.

  13. Starting NS this Fall at Pima, anyone else?

    Wicked Wahine replied to Wicked Wahine's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Oh, you're going to the UofA! I thought you were another Pima student. I just packed my backpack for my A&P refresher class starting tomorrow. I've been out of school for too long (my last...

  14. Starting NS this Fall at Pima, anyone else?

    Wicked Wahine replied to Wicked Wahine's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Cool, well I'll see you at orientation on Tuesday then! I'll be the frazzled looking one,

  15. Starting NS this Fall at Pima, anyone else?

    Wicked Wahine replied to Wicked Wahine's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Oh good to know! Figuring out my schedule as far in advance is great because we have a 3 year old and therefore we need to get our childcare arrangements hammered out

  16. Starting NS this Fall at Pima, anyone else?

    Wicked Wahine replied to Wicked Wahine's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hi cardiacRN! My orientation is on June 5th, so pretty much just around the corner. I signed up for the A&P refresher class that's a 2 day thing the weekend before the orientation. The HESI...
