  1. Better Option: Pregnant in nursing school/after

    fromtheseaRN replied to Pa0428's topic in General Nursing

    what is your priority? if you'd rather have a baby than finish nursing school, do that. if it's worth risking missing clinicals because of a pregnancy related issue, then go for it. i'd like another...

    fromtheseaRN replied to dawn30's topic in General Nursing

  4. Brookline college accelerated program

    fromtheseaRN replied to cterrazas's topic in Arizona Nursing

    fromtheseaRN replied to Crystal74's topic in Arizona Nursing

  9. New Grad program 2011 in mesa/phoenix area

    fromtheseaRN replied to syrold's topic in Arizona Nursing

    there aren't many jobs here right now, and if the proposed changes in our state's medicaid program go through, rumor has it that many more nurses will be laid

  11. AAS in Nursing and Nursing Program at MCCD

    fromtheseaRN replied to pre-ASUstudent's topic in Arizona Nursing

  13. Is it time to leave Arizona?

    fromtheseaRN replied to silentRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    i don't know what to do either. part of me wants to flee, and the other part wants to stay and fight to make this state better again. i'm stuck here though because my kids' dad lives here and i won't...

    fromtheseaRN replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

  15. Should this amount of stress be normal??

    fromtheseaRN replied to samirish's topic in General Nursing

    exactly. new nurses who handle their stress in a more effective manner don't write threads saying "today was great, i wasn't stressed at all". i don't think anybody feels the need to vent about how...

  16. Curious about the new grads not finding jobs?

    fromtheseaRN replied to bubbly_nurse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    did your friend say where they got the job? i would think LPNs are getting jobs faster because they are being employed in long term care, skilled nursing facilities, etc. i assume most RNs graduating...

  17. My day in the ER... (vent)

    fromtheseaRN replied to CrazierThanYou's topic in General Students

    don't ever let nurses who don't want you there waste your time! whenever i have had a nurse in clinicals who is not interested in having me, i bring it up with them. i usually say hey, you seem busy...

  18. Students on the MCC waiting list: lets get a jump start on studying

    fromtheseaRN replied to RN2b23's topic in Arizona Nursing

    just my two cents... you will benefit by taking pathophysiology and med terminology classes in the time you wait. these will give you a major head start in your nursing courses. i understand you are...

  19. The LPN trap

    fromtheseaRN replied to madfowl's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    the major hospital chain here has recently given LPNs a limited amount of time to become RNs, or they lose their jobs. they are phasing LPNs out (at least this chain is, here in az). LPNs can still...

  20. Nureses and Tattoos (esp. in San Francisco area)

    fromtheseaRN replied to oldskoolchop's topic in General Nursing

    like mskate said, it really depends on the hospitals policy. i have to keep my sleeves covered for school, but the hospital i am currently at for clinicals does not require this unless the tattoos are...

  21. Nursing School Blues (Part-time Student/Full-time Job)

    fromtheseaRN replied to BSNLMSW's topic in General Nursing

    welcome to nursing school! none of that sounds out of the ordinary to me. we sometimes get study guides, and most of the material on the exam was not in the guide. however, the syllabus states that...

  22. Can Anyone Give Me Another Perspective?

    fromtheseaRN replied to Crystal74's topic in Arizona Nursing

    fromtheseaRN replied to Hilush's topic in Arizona Nursing

  24. Already an LPN would that give me a leg up if I went to school to be a surgical tech

    fromtheseaRN replied to cfpalmer's topic in General Nursing

    i agree with roser13, i don't think it would give you an advantage as you are not progressing in your nursing education, rather you are switching to a different career. in my area they have been...

  25. MCC or ASU?

    fromtheseaRN replied to JRdaMacman's topic in Arizona Nursing

    you kind of have to dig around to see the ways of getting around the wait list. i only knew the single mom's scholarship because the nursing advisor at phoenix college emailed me about it after i...
