  6. MCC or ASU?

    Cursed Irishman replied to JRdaMacman's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Who told you loans weren't available to people with prior BS's? Grants aren't available, loans are. There is no difference between a new grad adn & a new grad bsn; they're both new nurses who need...

  7. Spanish for Healthcare Workers

    Cursed Irishman replied to Southern Magnolia's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Beneficial and time saving: yes. Necessary: no. All the hospitals I've worked at employ readily available interpretors; one of them required an interpretor present during discharges of Spanish...

  8. Want to become NAVY NURSE!*Need Advice!! :)

    Cursed Irishman replied to vrfdd123's topic in Government, Military

    Yes, ROTC can be completed in two years. But most accelerated RN programs are less than two years. Not all nurses are female; while still a minority, men have a larger presence in the

  9. BSN Strap Program?

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

    Assuming you are going to school full time, yes it is that simple. You're attached to APMC (google, they have a website) during your time in school. You fill out some paperwork every six months...

  10. ASU RN-BSN PROGRAM

    Cursed Irishman replied to DesertRN2's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I graduated from the RN-BSN program recently and have a friend in the online program now; it is completely do-able while working. Just some tips: Do not expect to learn anything useful. Alot of the...

  12. January OBLC

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

    With all sincerity: I'm sorry. I did three rotations through JRTC and mob'ed/de-mob'ed through there. Its a wretched place: both the base and the surrounding

  13. New nurse relocating to Phoenix: jobs to be found?

    Cursed Irishman replied to Im a Pepper's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You will have allot of trouble finding work as a new grad. Due to the numerous nursing programs, both ADN and BSN, there is a glut of new grads all vying for a limited number of

  14. If not a hospital, then where?

    Cursed Irishman replied to East Valley Brian's topic in Arizona Nursing

    My RN-BSN program was FILLED with new grads with no experience who ended up in home health by the end of the program. Nursing school in no way prepares a nurse do central line changes, let alone...

  15. Is my AMEDD recruiter telling me this to get me to join faster???

    Cursed Irishman replied to Want2Join's topic in Government, Military

    Not to nitpick, but its not necessary to put "CO" in front of lieutenant; as all lieutenants are commissioned, its implied just by stating the rank. When you say "CO", it usually means a commanding...

    One question: What's a CO 2LT? Haven't heard that term before. And some words of advice: Its great you want to serve your country, but try not to paint the next forty years of your life at such an...

  18. Before you join...

    Cursed Irishman replied to TripleM33's topic in Government, Military

    No one said "confront" your leaders; asking for guidance on how to meet their standards is not the same as confronting. After reading several of your posts regarding nursing as a civilian, I notice...

  19. Before you join...

    Cursed Irishman replied to TripleM33's topic in Government, Military

    Has it really been years?......In your absence, I've attempted to cut back on the sarcasm quite a bit and instead contribute meaningful information; previous posting excepted. Your own posting...

    Cursed Irishman replied to TripleM33's topic in Government, Military

    I'm voting this is the problem. Who'da thought the army would put an emphasis on physical

  21. Pay rate

    Cursed Irishman replied to yelnikmcwawa's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm surprised their new grad pay is still that high given the surplus; a friend who recently hired onto abrazo is being paid like a tech until off of

  24. Air Force Reserve Process

    Cursed Irishman replied to lucy18's topic in Government, Military

    I can only speak for the army, but i'm sure the air force is in the same boat, as a coworker in the AFR has been deployed for two out of the last six years. The reserves have to meet the same...

  25. ROTC Vs. Direct commissioning

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

    At ASU a couple years ago, nursing students who did ROTC were mandated to go to take some of their coursework during the summer because of the heavy courseload...this was in addition to attending...
