  1. Banner Layoff March 2014

    The link below that article indicates it's from 2009.
  2. I had -******** too, and I agree his class is hardcore, but I tell you what, I learned and retained more in that class than any other. I highly recommend this class.
  3. Is Banner Health hiring ADN new grads?

    No, that is not true. I'm sure they prefer BSN prepared nurses, but they do still consider ADN nurses.
  4. I disagree. I took both A&P 1&2 at Estrella CC and had awesome instructors both times.
  5. LDRP vs L&D/Postpartum

    I work in a large hospital group and the typical patient assignment in L & D is 2 laboring moms to one nurse, and the ratio in post partum is 4 couplets to one nurse, sometimes less depending on acuity.
  6. School & Kids

    I really liked MH. I took her class for AP 2, however she does teach both, and i would recommend taking both with her. I had ES for AP 1. He was a little more difficult but a good instructor nonetheless.
  7. Banner New Grad Program

    I got the "thanks but no thanks" e-mail today.
  8. Banner New Grad Program

    I also applied, and my status still says "under review", however I've not been contacted for an interview.
  9. School & Kids

    It most certainly can be done. :) I completed the ADN program at Gateway Community College, then immedietly enrolled in the 14 month RN-BSN program at Grand Canyon University, all while raising two young boys, and working full time outside of the hom...
  10. July Abrazo New Grad Program

  11. July Abrazo New Grad Program

  12. July Abrazo New Grad Program

    I have an ADN, however I'm in an RN-BSN program, so will have a BSN soon.
  13. July Abrazo New Grad Program

    I've got the same application status....hoping to hear something in the next few days. Best of luck to everybody!!!
  14. July Abrazo New Grad Program

    I know a couple of former classmates who have received the rejection e-mail as well. My application status still says it's being reviewed by recruiting, but I've not received a phone call or e-mail requsting an interview either.
  15. July Abrazo New Grad Program

    Really? Already? I check the status of my application everyday, so far so good. I applied for the January program, but didn't get an interview. I'm going to stay positive though, and hope for the best this time. Best of luck to you, I know how di...
  16. July Abrazo New Grad Program

    I've applied for this opportunity also. The posting says they will be contacting candidates at the end of this month for interviews, so it shouldn't be too long before we know something.
  17. Gateway part-time nights with full-time work??

    Sorry, I didn't see this reply to my original post until recently. I have to admit, block 4 was really difficult, but I got through it and graduated in December. The NCLEX was a piece of cake in comparisson to the tests we had in nursing school, so I...
  18. Gateway part-time nights with full-time work??

    I'm currently in block 4 in the Gateway Part Time Evening program, working full time with two school age kids, and doing fine. It's most definately do-able. You just have to remain focused.
  19. Anyone else 06/16/09 08:06:17AM?

    Spring placements are usually run in October.
  20. 5-6 semester wait for mcccd!!!????

    The Gateway part time program is only offered in the spring. That's why it doesn't appear on the list of options right now.
  21. Anyone else waiting anxiously for March 23d?

    I purchased 2 sets for now, and the white MCCDNP warm up jacket. The color is standard for the whole MCCDNP nursing program....caribbean blue. (teal) I would purchase some solid white long sleeve or thermal tees too, as it gets cold in the hospitals...
  22. Anyone else waiting anxiously for March 23d?

    Plan on spending about $1,200.00 up front on your books. We were required to buy them all at once, as well as the medical supplies bag from the bookstore. However, if you're given the book list ahead of time, you can shop around and possibly buy some...
  23. Supplies for Nursing School

    You will most definately need: -Comfortable all white shoes -Stethoscope (you don't need a fancy expensive one) -Pen light -Clip board (for clinicals) -clinical uniforms (only sold at apparel pro usa in Tempe) -Black sharpie fine point pens There's a...
  24. Any advice from students ALREADY in the program?

    Make sure you're up to speed on medical terminology, and as the previous poster said...pathophysiology is a huge help.
  25. Maricopa skills or Southwest skills center??

    You may also want to look into the Gateway Community College part time evening program. It's only offered in the spring placement, but it schedules classes in the evenings, and clinicals on the weekends. I work full time, and have young children at h...
