  7. Another question????

    TinkRN8 posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Guess I am full of them today! Actually, it is two questions. The first is, for those of you RN's, CNA's and PCT/PCA's that work at either a Banner or SHC hospital, are you able to work more than...

    TinkRN8 replied to TinkRN8's topic in Arizona Nursing

    That is exactly what I was thinking. I know I have a long way to go before I am actually there, but was just curious. I like to go onto the hospital websites to see what positions are available, and...

    TinkRN8 replied to TinkRN8's topic in Arizona Nursing

  14. Scottsdale Healthcare and Scottsdale Community College

    TinkRN8 replied to TinkRN8's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Great info! If you don't mind telling me, was it a Banner hospital you work for? So, they just trained you for the PCT certification once you were hired as a CNA? Did you just contact a nursing home...

    TinkRN8 replied to TinkRN8's topic in Arizona Nursing
