  1. Phoenix Children's

    diosa78 replied to yelnikmcwawa's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I work at PCH and there is no GAPP program this winter due to the merger with St Joes (we have to absorb their nurses). There should be a GAPP program in February, but it will most likely be limited...

  2. Working while pregnant

    diosa78 replied to Nightingale11's topic in General Nursing

    I worked until the very end (38 1/2) weeks. I was induced at 39 weeks. It is difficult, but I managed. I kept my weight in check and my co-workers were wonderful whenever I needed help and often...

  3. Arizona question...

    diosa78 replied to Fiducia78's topic in General Nursing

    The market in Phoenix for nurses is very tight right now, even for experienced RNs. I believe there are more nurses per capita in Phoenix than in any other city in the US. Check out this recent thread...

  5. Does speaking Spanish get you higher pay ?

    diosa78 replied to 86toronado's topic in General Nursing

    Here is some more information from the Department of Justice that states who is able to professionally interpret. Note that many hospitals use these same regulations. I always go into an interview...

  6. Does speaking Spanish get you higher pay ?

    diosa78 replied to 86toronado's topic in General Nursing

    I'm bilingual as are many of my fellow nurse friends. Not one of us gets paid more to speak Spanish. Frankly, you have to have technical medical interpretation certification to even be qualified to...

  7. How long does it take to get an Associates Degree in Nursing?

    diosa78 replied to Ted D's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Yes, it was Chem I and II. No organic chemistry was necessary. I have a non-science degree and it was difficult, but do-able. I applied to the program after 2 semesters at the cc. Again, each...

  8. How long does it take to get an Associates Degree in Nursing?

    diosa78 replied to Ted D's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It took me 3 semesters of prerequisites at the community college. I then went right into the accelerated BSN. All together from the time I started my prereqs to the time I graduated, it was 7...

  9. How long does it take to get an Associates Degree in Nursing?

    diosa78 replied to Ted D's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Hi Ted! If you already have a bachelor's degree, most people do an accelerated BSN. That is the route I took because it takes less time than getting an ADN. I did the nursing prereqs at a community...

  10. My Husband the nurse!

    diosa78 replied to henryswife's topic in General Nursing

    I have a sociology degree too. I went and did my nursing prereqs at a community college. Then I went and did an accelerated BSN program in 16 months. An ADN program is not worth it if he already...

  11. Questions for New Grads..

    diosa78 replied to javaline's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You are not alone. I am a newly graduated RN-BSN. This is my 2nd bachelor's degree. I have a 4.0GPA, tech experience, excellent recommendations and am bilingual. I have applied everywhere I can...

  12. Phoenix Childrens

    diosa78 replied to treehugger2's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I also applied back in January and spoke in person to a recruiter in April. She told me that they already placed all of their new graduates and if you haven't heard from them by April, then you were...

  13. Tucson new grads

    diosa78 replied to hybridspider's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yes, I have tried the VA and IHS. Haven't heard anything back from them yet. I guess the next step would be to volunteer since I have been rejected for every PCT position I have applied for. Thank...

  14. Tucson new grads

    diosa78 replied to hybridspider's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I worked as a tech at a top pediatrics hospital out of state and I was offered an RN job there in the cardiac ICU, but I had to turn it down because my husband relocated to Tucson for work. So, I...

  15. Tucson new grads

    diosa78 replied to hybridspider's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I am a new grad RN-BSN too...just graduated with a 4.0, am bilingual, worked as a tech, and have cardiac ICU experience and I cannot find a job either. I do not have "real" nursing experience, so...

  16. Advantage for Speaking Spanish?

    diosa78 replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I am fully bilingual English-Spanish and I have a translation certificate. Even being bilingual, having a bachelors degree in another field and graduating next week with a BSN and 4.0 gpa has not...

  17. Vaccine Nation

    diosa78 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Pediatric

    The whole point I am trying to make is that we DO NOT know. There is congressional testimony that the risk outweighs the benefit...this is why it is not recommended in Europe. So, my question to you...

  18. Vaccine Nation

    diosa78 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Pediatric

    Hi, yes, you can look it under the following link: http://vaers.hhs.gov/scripts/data.cfm You will see data of reactions for several years. You can also look at testimony of reactions made before the...

  19. Vaccine Nation

    diosa78 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Pediatric

    Ok, I'm going to play devil's advocate here. There is evidence that a newborn's immune system is immature and strikingly different from that of an older child or adult especially in regards to...

  20. Vaccine Nation

    diosa78 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Pediatric

    I am still concerned that we are vaccinating our children too early. Why does a newborn need a Hep B vaccine? Neither I nor any of my family or friends had this vaccine until we were in our 20s and...

  21. Help - what are our options re: nursing school?

    diosa78 replied to GoDawgs!'s topic in Georgia Nursing

    Hi there, Do not go the ADN route. If he already has a bachelor's he will need to take extra classes and it will take longer than doing an accelerated BSN program. I am an accelerated BSN student at...
