  1. Associate Degree in Nursing to BSN?

    AZMOMO2 replied to danielle93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Get the BSN, most critical care positions at the hospital, which is what you will need to get into CRNA school anyway, usually post BSN preferred. Since you are already at a 4 year school, might as...

    AZMOMO2 replied to SL2014's topic in Arizona Nursing

    They are getting CCNE accreditation which is higher than NLNAC

  3. My nursing program was terrible and I was too incompetent but I still graduated

    AZMOMO2 replied to Matilda191's topic in Nursing Career

    There are refresher courses usually under the continuing education departments at a school that offers a nursing program. Usually a Community College. They usually even have a clinical component...

  4. Stressed out Float new grad nurse!!

    AZMOMO2 replied to Nursingluv101's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yuck i wouldn't work under those conditions. County hospital or not there should be some sort of UAP on the floor for ADLs when the RNs are really needed for those chest pains, blood draws and hanging...

  5. How far would you commute?

    AZMOMO2 replied to loving2's topic in General Nursing

    I have commuted 59 miles each way to a job that I hated for a year, just because it was the only thing around and I wanted to get experience. I would and have commuted farther than that for a job...

  6. How long were you at your first RN job?

    AZMOMO2 replied to hmellish's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should add year of graduation in there too somewhere. It is interesting to see the trends in the employment of new grads. From lush to arid and all the

  7. Why RNs cannot say 'That's not my job'

    AZMOMO2 replied to Dramqueenie1's topic in General Nursing

    I usually just say something like, " Yeah that sucks. None of us get paid what we should for what we do." Then I tend to walk away and be done with it. I have had a new CNA walk up to me as I was...

  8. Lpn moving to Az!

    AZMOMO2 replied to Zadia's topic in Arizona Nursing

    With experience there are positions available. But they are limited. New grad RNs are being hired in alot of places where LPNs used to be utilized at the LTC and SNF facilities. There are quite a few...

  9. Bio 205 @ Rio

    AZMOMO2 replied to CinDRnyc's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Good luck the sciences at Rio are notorious for having crazy random midterms and finals. I tried Rio for Micro but decided to go to an in-person class after the midterm a few semesters ago. Of course...

  10. 2nd time in clinicals

    AZMOMO2 replied to jose2010's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    1st as an LPN there is no way that I would expect someone to do a certain skill in a set amount of time. That is just crazy. Unless it took you an half an hour to place a bedpan or something. When I...

  11. Christmas gifts for residents

    AZMOMO2 replied to laderalis's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I know this is late late... but a SNUGGIE is the perfect gift for residents. Especially those in wheelchairs. It is a blanket with sleeves and you know they are always cold, but now they can be warm,...

  12. Increased confusion r/t hypoglycemic episode?

    AZMOMO2 replied to akita_mommy's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Usually there can be significant agitation with low blood sugar. Coma could have caused some oxygen deprivation at some point which could have contributed to the episode. Sometimes you have to dodge...

  13. Chamberlain College of Nursing BSN Program

    AZMOMO2 replied to SL2014's topic in Arizona Nursing

    No go to their website it is not too late they said they are still accepting applications for their Feb start date. Just depends on how fast you can get things going. In this economy a BSN seems the...

  14. HELP! New Grad> Two offers on the table: ER & ICU

    AZMOMO2 replied to amandammarie's topic in Nursing Career

    Can you ask to job shadow for 1 day on each unit? That would give you the best idea about where YOU want to be and how YOU think you would like it. Nursing is so independently about personal...

  15. Do you re-take NCLEX if you move?

    AZMOMO2 replied to KyMani's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    once you take and pass nclex you do not have to do it again. what compact means is in regard to the license itself. as a compact state they recognize the other states license and you can work with it...

  16. 2nd time in clinicals

    AZMOMO2 replied to jose2010's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Too slow is not a reason to fail someone from clinical. That is crazy, being able to move someone alone takes confidence as long as its safe. Youtube videos on skills. Practice on friends and family....

  17. LPN needs career advice

    AZMOMO2 replied to wecan11's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    I don't have much advice to offer you, but I have totally been where you are. Its a killer when you get cancelled off. I love my Peds Private Duty job but I for one know that I would not like PICU or...

  18. Start RN-BSN right away?

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

    I have friends that were in my LPN program with me that graduated with their RN and went straight ahead to the BSN portion while they worked at LTC locations as RNs. I plan to go the ADN route, but...

  19. Accepted one job but got a better offer. What should I do?

    AZMOMO2 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Nursing Career

    Really? That is not the case around here, LTCs are only hiring RNs, no longer hiring LPNs and are giving them what used to be LPN starting pay (which mind you is actually the current New grad RN rate...

  20. (VENT) Very bothered. This doesn't feel right.

    AZMOMO2 replied to armada14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Since you are a DSP and work under the guidelines of DDD it is generally not paid during the overnight. Unless the client has "Nursing Hours", where he would get Nursing Respite which would include...

  21. Accepted one job but got a better offer. What should I do?

    AZMOMO2 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Nursing Career

    Thank you so much for the offer and value your facility and am sure that I would have enjoyed working with you, however, at this time I was offered a fulltime position, and for the sake of myself and...

  22. Finally...A sigh of RELIEF!!!!

    AZMOMO2 replied to Futrern's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Sometimes our plans just don't coincide with what path we actually take. I myself was gung ho on the RN program. I was planning on one particular program and decided that I would just get a plan B and...

  23. How to relax/distract yourself while waiting for grades???

    AZMOMO2 replied to CaptScrubs13's topic in General Students

    Honestly, get used to it because you will never become relaxed while waiting for grades to post. I think this gets you ready for the day when you are anxiously waiting for those NCLEX results to post!...

  24. Coolidge college's nursing program breakdown!!!

    AZMOMO2 replied to hilzaberry's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Its pretty much the more you have completed the more points you get. The higher your grades the more points you get. Add if you live in Pinal county you get extra points. So if you have every pre/co...

  25. Night Shift or Evening Shift

    AZMOMO2 replied to MsNewbie's topic in Nursing Career

    I have worked both. I felt like I was missing so much more of life when I was working evenings. By the time I got home it was sometimes after midnight, it would take at least an hour or two to wind...
