1. ASU vs. GCU RN to BSN

   AZGirl27 replied to ro2878's topic in Arizona

   I just completed the GCU RN bsn all online program. It truly was not that difficult looking back on it although while I was in it I thought the day would never come when I would be done. You will spend allot of time writing papers. I don't feel like ...

3. Excessive mouth secretions

   AZGirl27 replied to phedrn's topic in Critical

   I have seen this frequently in my vented patients. Sometimes you can get an order for glycopyrrolate that helps cut down on the secretions. This also helps with patients who have a lot of sputum as well in the lungs.

7. How many semesters did YOU wait???

   AZGirl27 replied to bellabarbiegirl's topic in Arizona

   I had Rio as my number 1 for my 2 semester wait and I still didn't get placed with them. I got into scottsdale though which actually has a better pass rate for the NCLEX than Rio does. (My date and time stamp was Feb 22 2008)

   AZGirl27 replied to AZGirl27's topic in Arizona

    AZGirl27 posted a topic in Arizona

    I just thought I would share the link for the pass rate for the RN NCLEX in 2007 at all the Arizona schools. I find it kind of wierd that MCCDNP is all linked into one % for 2007. There are no scores for 2008 yet but I will be looking for it. I wonde...

11. Rio Salado or Gateway Part time?

    AZGirl27 replied to NUR151's topic in Arizona

    Rio Salado is not a part time program. It will take as much of your time if not more than the full time programs. I am not in the program but I did take their online course pre-reqs which require a lot of reading. I did talk to the program director a...

12. Rio Salado Classes Vs. In person Classes

    AZGirl27 replied to Hausfrau's topic in Arizona

    I took all my pre-reqs with Rio and found that they were not that difficult as some are saying. I just finished mat 142 and got an A in the class. There is a lot studying though, but if you stay on top of it (which can be a challenge with online) you...

    AZGirl27 replied to FKAParalegal's topic in Arizona

    How did you get into the Boswell Program? Did you just put it as one of your choices or did you have to apply to them directly? When I go to there website it says to send your application to them. I have them as like my third choice but I did not sen...

    AZGirl27 replied to CRNAspire's topic in Arizona

    I believe that Prescott hospital is hiring for new grads as of this summer. I checked their website awhile back and it said that they will be starting a new grad program. I think St. Joseph's hospital also does this.
