  1. Pregnancy and dismissal from nursing school

    AZMOMO2 replied to Bronxtale's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I don't want this to feel like I am being mean or insensitive to your concerns, however, pregnancy is an elective condition, which everyone knows may become complicated at anytime. The school needs...

    AZMOMO2 replied to adriano's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  4. Negotiating Start Date - HELP!

    AZMOMO2 replied to expealidoscious's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  8. Graduated 2010 almost gave up nursing.

    AZMOMO2 replied to MayuZ's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    AZMOMO2 replied to Noob_to_Nursing's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  11. LTC incident, what are your thoughts.

    AZMOMO2 replied to wearyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    AZMOMO2 replied to Silvergem800's topic in First Year After Licensure

    AZMOMO2 replied to gapeacheykeen's topic in Nursing Career

    Not true and not everywhere. I personally started at a higher pay rate at an LTC as a New Grad LPN while a New Grad RN hired at the local hospital was getting paid less. Currently as an LPN I am...

    AZMOMO2 replied to lovelypinai18's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  18. In Depth Medscape article about the current (2012) state of New-Grad Employment.

    AZMOMO2 replied to Sehille4774's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The article acted like new grads and RNs are totally without bias with regard to alternative places of employment... however, it's more like future employers are the ones who are biased. They are the...

    AZMOMO2 replied to SL2014's topic in Arizona Nursing

    i did not attend, but it is actually on my back-up plan right now vs the ADN advanced placement option at the CC level. I am working with admission right now to see how many credits they would accept....

  25. Staff/Patient Ratio - 30 Patients per Nurse

    AZMOMO2 replied to Colima's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    BUMP: The problem is that in 1987 (OBRA 87) sick people stayed in the hospital longer. Now they are farmed out to SNFs which are really just LTCs in disguise. Hours per resident is antiquated and...
