I worked at Banner Desert for almost 3 months. I'm a L & D nurse, totally enjoyed working there. Everyone's very friendly and helpful. Most of the Drs. are ok too. :angryfire My problem was that I was fired due to missed work. I developed steriod myopathy after being treated for several weeks with Prednisone. I had missed 2 1/2 wks. work, had notes from Drs., kept in touch with those in charge, etc. I was fired due to "not fulfilling my job responsibilities." I was about 10 days away from my 90 day probation ending. I was told had I finished probation, things may have been different. I'm very sad that this happened. I had previously worked at Banner Good Sam L & D for almost 2 1/2 yrs. I've had very good experiences working at both hospitals. I really loved my job at Desert and am still in shock that this has happened to me! Considering the nursing shortage, especially here in Arizona, I can't believe it! If anyone has any thoughts, I'd be happy to hear from you!

Hello. I'm new to this discussion board. I'm an Assoc. Degree RN going to school for my BSN. My question to those who are Nurse Educators is: What is your recommendation as far as Masters Education.... a specific degree as a Nurse Educator, or a Masters in Nursing (ie: NP in Women's Health) with a Post-Masters Certificate in Nurse Education?? I won't be done with my BSN until spring '05, but I'm weighing my options now so I have plenty of time to apply, visit some schools, etc. Another question I have is: are you happy being Nurse Educators? I know every job has its down side. I've been a nurse for 5 yrs., so I know how stressful nursing can be. I would appreciate your input! twistrn:roll
