  1. The difference between a teaching hospital and others?

    silentRN replied to AllAngelsRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, after awhile, the money becomes a factor, especially when you haven't had a raise in 2 years. Working with the Residents is great. I'd rather work with them than some snobby attending. I...

    silentRN replied to azsummer's topic in Arizona Nursing

    In 2006 I applied for Yavapai College Nursing Program in Prescott, Az. I had no wait. I took the test in the summer and was admitted in the fall. I would advice you to apply there or at Coconino...

  5. Pathology for NAU - Is it worth it?

    silentRN replied to Jacoba's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Don't know if it's worth it, but I applied for Pathology over the summer too through NAU. I'm actually an RN, but trying to get into the RN-BSN program through NAU, and NAU has the cheapest program...

  6. Job Prospects in Phoenix?

    silentRN replied to malcantar's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I work at University Medical Center in Tucson. Very good hospital. I love it. Wages have been an issue though because we are at the mercy of the economy because we are the only level one trauma...

  7. Flagstaff Medical Center

    silentRN replied to tiezto's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I have never heard a good thing about FMC from any nurse that has worked there. About 3 years ago before I was a RN I worked at VVMC as a PCT. They seemed to pay the RN's descent, and it really...

  11. Anybody work at Flagstaff Medical Center?

    silentRN replied to silentRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    2 be honest, over the summer of 2009, I had 2 interviews at FMC. My first interview with the HR rep went really well. She treated me very good and got me excited to want to work at FMC. When I went...

  13. Certifications

    silentRN replied to guiltysins's topic in Ob/Gyn

    They used too, prior to the 2008 financial crash. We used to get the RN-BSN program paid for by the hospital, paid CE. Now, we get no raises, no paid education, and we have to pay for our CE...

  14. Certifications

    silentRN replied to guiltysins's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I work at a teaching hospital and the basics that all nurses have to have like BLS and ACLS are for free and get paid to attend. But, if I were to try to get a certification like CCRN, then would...

    silentRN replied to silentRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I agree with you. I just don't like the way it has been politicalized. How it seems it's more about pushing an ideology than a real reform that will work and be beneficial. In my opinion the big...

    What exactly does Sodium Phosphate do? I am constantly replacing it every morning with electrolyte orders and I've been trying to search what role it plays. Anyone

    Don't take it too serious. I'm just be devious :flmngmd: Everyone has a right to their

  19. Do you know what your state legislature is up to that could affect your License?

    silentRN replied to DogWmn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Ya, I figured they were Democrat when they back Obama's health plan. I just don't want to join an organization that I disagree with. I believe what we need is a strong union like I hear California...

  20. Do you know what your state legislature is up to that could affect your License?

    silentRN replied to DogWmn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I wish we actually had a organization that supports its nurses. The Arizona State Board of Nursing's modo is we protect patients from nurses. It would be nice to have an organization that actually...

    silentRN replied to Laboratorian's topic in General Nursing

    I go to a NP for my care provider. I prefer her over an MD because she actually listens to

  22. Do you know what your state legislature is up to that could affect your License?

    silentRN replied to DogWmn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  23. NP Autonomy: Are MD's hating it ? ...feel stupid asking question

    silentRN replied to Laboratorian's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think that has ever happened. In Arizona where I live, the NP seems to have ton of autonomy. A NP can have their own office without being under a

  24. Anybody work at Flagstaff Medical Center?

    silentRN replied to silentRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I actually work at UMC in Tucson, but I always keep my eye open at their job listings. From what I've heard from one person that used to work there that it really isn't a great place to work and he...

  25. Reforming nursing education...

    silentRN replied to SteffersRN87's topic in General Nursing

    you guys are all joking yourselves if you think you'll get more money for a BSN. Hospitals can't even afford to give raises, and it's been 21 months since I've seen a raise, and I work STICU in a...
