  1. Couple of questions about schools-Phoenix

    Cursed Irishman replied to JD810's topic in Arizona Nursing

  2. Couple of questions about schools-Phoenix

    Cursed Irishman replied to JD810's topic in Arizona Nursing

  6. Maricopa skills or Southwest skills center??

    Cursed Irishman replied to sassiebaz's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Cursed Irishman replied to carsonallen1's topic in Arizona Nursing

  9. Online Banking/cell phones etc...in Iraq?

    Cursed Irishman replied to Gruffy's topic in Government, Military

    Bear in mind that my info is a little outdated and I'm sure computer access is even broader than when I was there. But as a baseline reference: Yes, quite handily. You can purchase time on MWR/hadji...

  11. This might make you think twice about which nursing school to go to

    Cursed Irishman replied to AZGirl27's topic in Arizona Nursing

    UofP has the LPN to BSN program; you earn your RN at the end. Quite an abysmal NCLEX

  13. Banner Health's student id badge

    Cursed Irishman replied to sweetsmuckers's topic in Arizona Nursing

  15. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    Cursed Irishman replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yeah, that would be a bad move; she gets emails from whiny students who are in the program ALL the time, it wouldn't be a good thing to demonstrate right off the bat. Just

  19. How are local hospital's are doing

    Cursed Irishman replied to Kabin's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yes, my knowledge only extends to the banner program. The nursing shortage hasn't miraculously evaporated, but there is a glut of new grads i.e. those without experience. A unit can only take on so...

  21. How are local hospital's are doing

    Cursed Irishman replied to Kabin's topic in Arizona Nursing

  22. How are local hospital's are doing

    Cursed Irishman replied to Kabin's topic in Arizona Nursing
