  1. Scott & White

    MassagetoRN replied to KitaAz's topic in Texas Nursing

    Quick question for those that got in.... Do you submit the online application and wait for them to contact you before completing the packet? How did that work? I am just now applying for the Pediatric...

  2. Parents/Patients demanding investigations

    MassagetoRN replied to 15isto2's topic in General Nursing

    I've learned from Ped's that a) parents are the patients just as much as the kid and b) the parents are the expert on their child, not us! Go parents!! And Tablefor9, I am sorry for your experience...

    MassagetoRN replied to silentRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Wow, all I can say is wow! The strong Healthcare Industry is the ONLY thing that has kept this valley afloat during this depression (yes folks, its a depression). And is AHCCCS gets canceled, Phoenix...

  6. Nursing Issue in Pediatrics?

    MassagetoRN replied to MassagetoRN's topic in Pediatric

    Thanks for the great input, keep it coming! I am thinking that the pain management would be too medical and not so much a nursing issue (although super important!). I recently found an article about...

  7. What are the BEST and WORST States to practice as an NP?

    MassagetoRN replied to Roland's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Wow! That's harsh! This isn't a political forum, and its not my intention to turn it into one. I am an AZ native, and don't think that you have a true assessment of AZ. Yes, there has been negative...

  8. BLS or ACLS certification for new grad

    MassagetoRN replied to salimom's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Just to throw in my 2 cents.... I am an unemployed new grad (since June 2010) and can't find work. I am going ahead and getting my PALS (Pediatric Advances Life Support) through PCH in the hopes that...

  9. New Grad RN Jobs

    MassagetoRN replied to yooper86's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I respectfully disagree. The rural hospitals are smaller, and have less resources to hire and train new grads. Also, they usually take local people who are invested in the

  10. Somebody please....help me solve this!!

    MassagetoRN replied to californiadreaming's topic in Pediatric

    A) you'd get a better response by changing your title to something more specific, like "help with pediatric dosage calc" B) I've never seen this BSA stuff. I also do dimesional analysis. I always...

  11. New Grad RN Jobs

    MassagetoRN replied to yooper86's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Congrats!! Can you say where the new job is?

  12. Done with school but don't want to start work as a nurse...

    MassagetoRN replied to anichka1285's topic in General Nursing

    "I am also worried because I accepted a position. I don't want to let people down. But I also really don't want them to invest the time & money and train me for a couple months & have me let...

    13. there are three boxes. one contains only apples, one contains only oranges, and one contains both apples and oranges. the boxes have been incorrectly labeled such that no label identifies the...

  14. 25 Craziest Interview Questions of 2010

    MassagetoRN replied to SweetBabyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    I recently went on a new grad OR job and the strangest question (atleast to me, and I HATE the OR) was: We do alot of diagnostic surgeries or biopsies. What would you do if you asked the surgeon what...

  15. New Grad RN Jobs

    MassagetoRN replied to yooper86's topic in Arizona Nursing

    FYI, most of the East Valley hospitals are Banner, which is saturated with Banner Fellows, so those jobs are super difficult. In fact, I only know of 2 new grad jobs in the last 6 months that went to...

  16. Littmann stethoscope

    MassagetoRN replied to lilmac81's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I got my Littman Pediatric on eBay for under $50, and its the cranberry color, so good deal!!! If you are a newbie, a good stethascope is worth it! But beware, the good ones tend to grow legs and walk...

  17. Rn to bsn program with no clinicals

    MassagetoRN replied to lsilva7's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Grand Canyon University. They are pretty reasonable in tuition and are completely online. PM if you want the contact info for the best admissions rep

  18. Grand Canyon University

    MassagetoRN replied to AZblondie's topic in School, College Programs

    ASU's biggest thing for me was A) the nearly $5k in fees for the RN-BSN program and B) 10 credits in upper division classes which would require another semester of classes if you didn't want to take...

  19. PSY 240 and FON 241 online or in person?

    MassagetoRN replied to heatherMb's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I took them both online through RIO a few years ago and they were pretty easy. PSY 240 is as dry as toast w/o butter, but doable! I've also taken the insane science classes through RIO and don't...

  20. Working during nursing school

    MassagetoRN replied to Southern Magnolia's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm based in Phoenix, so I can't say anything about Tucson specifically, but most new grads that I know who have gotten a job after graduation is because they were working as a CNA/PCT in school. I...

  21. Grand Canyon University

    MassagetoRN replied to AZblondie's topic in School, College Programs

    Kabin, I saw that same special too on CNBC, and I agree as I worked for once such school. But those are mostly the super expensive trade schools. I don't feel that GCU falls into that catagory. Even...

  22. Univ. of S. Alabama: BSN-DNP Acute Care PNP Program Spring 2011

    MassagetoRN replied to JayMH1984's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I too am interested. Are you doing the online program? Do they consider distance learning in or out of state tuition?

  23. Grand Canyon University

    MassagetoRN replied to AZblondie's topic in School, College Programs

    Just a side note about GCU, I am in their RN-BSN program. The admissions advisors are super helpful and knowledgable (I guess once you get the to right one) but their Financial Aide dept is...

  24. Upset and Confused At GCU

    MassagetoRN replied to valadeybug's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I hear ya!! I'm at the end of my 2nd class in the RN-BSN program. Fin Aide is TERRIBLE!! The only saving grace is my enrollment counslor whom I got to for everything! But ASU is riddled with fees, and...

  25. I just got in to MCC! Any info on the program you would like to share?

    MassagetoRN replied to bellabarbiegirl's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Congrats! I just graduated there in June (as a Banner Fellow). The new building is super nice. The instructors are great (while at time frustrating, such is the nature of nursing school). I would get...
