Yesterday, I was at my clinicals in a hospital. I was up there by 7 to listen to report. There were 3 nurses working on the floor and 1 CNA at the time (1 CNA arrived later). The two nurses in the report room were taken by my classmates. I could not...

Thanks guys. I just want to say though that I DID tell her, when I was assigned to her, that from 0700-0900, I am taking info on my 3 patients. Then at 0900, I have to be downstairs to give report. I clearly stated that to her. And she even asked me...

With all this hype about the iphone and the blackberry, which one are you guys using? I was just wondering because I currently have the blackberry storm 9530 and running skyscpae's nursing constellation plus and LOVING IT! I used to use the nursing c...

Since block 1, we were told that we can use the pda's, blackberries, and so forth AS LONG as we dont take any personal info from the patients chart. Since block 1, they recommended us to use the PDA version of the books so that we dont have to tug th...

what school did you get accepted in?

Hey jke530, Congrats on getting in. As far as what program to get, it really is up to you. I still have an active subscription with nursing central. But when I got the storm, I looked at downloading skyscapes nursing constellation plus. Why? Because ...

Usually, the orientation starts one week before the class starts...depending on the school. But so far, It has been that. You might want to call the school you are interested in applying to and ask them when orientations start. That would be your bes...

Hey guys! Whew! MAde it to Blcok 3 starting August 2009. I'm excited that we start Med-Surg then OB/Peds....So how is everyone feeling so far about MEsa-Boswell? I'd like to know because I can tell you I have a lot of things to say...More good than...

Hi there... Usually, before the new block starts, they will give you all the paperwork (either via email, mail, or the school website, which in my case my school has a website.) http://nursing.maricopa.edu/CurrentStudents.php thats a website for cur...

Hi there! Well, when I started block 1, the orientation was like the week before classes started. For block 2, i think we had a med-surg orientation the day of the first class. Now, for block 3, our orientation will be on the start day of classes as ...

Hi there... I have to somewhat agree with what the other posters have said. But really it is all up to you. When I started block 1, I bought all the optional texts and although I didn't use it much that first semester, it became required for the next...

Hello... I just recently got a call from one of the hospice centers here in AZ and they are offering me a job (as a CNA then later on RN when i grad). I just want to know if theres anyone out there who works at a hospice center, how is it like? Any i...

NUR 151 is not full time...i believe it is 3/4 time...i forgot how many credits but i know it is 3/4 time instead of full. part time job would probably be your best bet for block 1 although i know some students who have full time jobs...but of course...

I am currently a block 2 student over at boswell and now that it is finally banner, our badge has changed. i noticed that there is an expiration date on the badge and a colored border on the picture. is that to distinguish us from the different block...

Makes sense. But why put an expiry date on the badge? Did your badge have em too? One way or the other, they will know if you failed the course or not and take away all the computer access of the facility. Better if they put the grad date like the ot...

ah....as far as the date on the front of the badge, mine has 05-31-09 but i dont grad till 05-2010...must be a typo.

I never liked this system. Always problems here and there and the tech support are useless....I know more than they do!

Have you guys been encountering problems paying your tuition at the website? I have never had this problem before. EVerytime I try to pay my tuition, it is saying that it has encountered calculating it. But when I asked my classmates if they had pai...

Congrats to all! Anyone of you atteding the Mesa-Boswell campus? I got info on what you guys can expect from each instructors and so forth....
