  1. Funny Things Patients Say

    salimom replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Myself and another nurse were helping a very needy long term patient in our acute care hospital. She looked at the other nurse and said,"You are just so pretty." Then looked at me and added, "You're...

  2. BLS or ACLS certification for new grad

    salimom posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hi all you nurses out there. I just graduated nursing school, and I want to be adequately certified to apply for any jobs that may miraculously pop up. I am somewhat confused as to whether or not I...

    salimom replied to Future-AZ-Nurse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I was on the list for a year and a half. It was the only program I had selected because of my

  4. BLS or ACLS certification for new grad

    salimom replied to salimom's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Thanks so much for all of the responses! I went ahead and got my BLS, and was able to get hired on at a great hospital. I'm sure I will pursue other certifications in the

  5. Gateway Part-Time Nursing Students...

    salimom replied to Future-AZ-Nurse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    No problem! I agree, there should be much more part time options for nursing school. Good

  6. Gateway Part-Time Nursing Students...

    salimom replied to Future-AZ-Nurse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I just graduated from Gateway's part-time RN program. The majority of my class worked full time, and almost everyone had family. It is do-able, but I have to say that only about half of our original...

  7. BLS or ACLS certification for new grad

    salimom replied to salimom's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Thanks so much for your responses, saved me a couple of hundred dollars! I was CPR/BLS certified at the beginning of school, but it expired last month and I figured if I needed to upgrade to ACLS I...

    salimom replied to haysie's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

  9. Rio Salado or Gateway Part time?

    salimom replied to NUR151's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I start Gateway's part time program next Wednesday so I will let you know. I did a lot of online pre-reqs and I know for me, that I prefer in person classes and that is why I didn't choose Rio...

  10. Who's Hiring New Grads?

    salimom replied to chocolateskye's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I think the fact that hospitals are not hiring as much has to do with a number of factors. Firstly, illegal immigrants used to be able to apply for free health insurance from the state (AHCCCS), but...

  11. Congrats to my fellow Spring 09 MCCDNP students!

    salimom replied to amers_here's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Anybody else starting in January? I'm getting nervous and excited at the same time. I just went and bought my scrubs and got the last pink 'nice' Littman stethescope. The salesman called it 'Save...

  12. Congrats to my fellow Spring 09 MCCDNP students!

    salimom replied to amers_here's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yay indeed! I got into the Gateway part time program, and my date stamp was June 23 2007. It was my only choice, the only one I could do actually, and I feel really blessed to have finally got in....

  13. Grrr - MCCDNP Wait list

    salimom replied to SNIXRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    AZSamantha, you can always add MCC as one of your choices and give yourself a higher probability of getting in on the next defferal placement. You're so close I'm sure you will be in one of the next...

  14. Grrr - MCCDNP Wait list

    salimom replied to SNIXRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I definitely know how you guys feel, I got into the Gateway Part time program and my time stamp was June of 07, so AZSamantha I would still keep hope alive for a deferral placement

  15. Grrr - MCCDNP Wait list

    salimom replied to SNIXRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    It's 2:00 on the dot, and they still aren't done with the placement. I haven't watched the clock this much since I was a kid on Christmas

    salimom replied to SNIXRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    When are they going to do the placement? PUT US OUT OF OUR

  17. Grrr - MCCDNP Wait list

    salimom replied to SNIXRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Well that is frustrating, but it makes more sense since it said it would update AFTER the October cohorts were placed. I've been checking the board every day to see if it was updated. Would be nice...

  18. Anyone expecting to get in Spring '09 for MCCDNP?

    salimom replied to SNIXRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I assume it must be the part time program?

    salimom replied to SNIXRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Are you in the full time program, or the part time

  20. Anyone expecting to get in Spring '09 for MCCDNP?

    salimom replied to SNIXRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    My date stamp is June of 07 and I am hoping and praying that I get in for January because I am only applying for the part time programs and there are not a lot of spots. If I were full time any...

  21. Is CPR/AED required for application to MCCD?

    salimom replied to JessLP's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I successfully applied to Gateway and am not CPR certified. I am just awaiting placement, but I assume I will need this when I start the program so I'd better get

  24. How Long Did Part Timers Wait

    salimom posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    I am only applying for the part time programs through Maricopa Community Colleges, and the whiteboard is a little misleading for me because it mixes full and part time people. I was wondering, for...

  25. How Long Did Part Timers Wait

    salimom replied to salimom's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yay for being done with pre-req's! I applied in June of '07 and I too live pretty far from Glendale (East Mesa) so I was hoping to get into Gateway. The frustrating thing is that Gateway only lets...
