  1. How are local hospital's are doing

    Kabin posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    I read an article on yahoo finance about hospital struggles related to the economy and credit problems. How much worse does it need to be before progressing beyond hiring freezes and nurse call offs?...

    And if the hospitals aren't hiring their extensive education staff need to be scaled back. Most likely transitioning back to their areas of expertise or maybe looking for

    Yep, there were fewer snowbirds this year for sure and it adversely impacted local healthcare jobs. It will be tight times in

    Kabin replied to Kabin's topic in Arizona Nursing

    A friend working for banner told me his hospital couldn't hire their new graduating class. Fortunately phoenix children's had openings, assumed their contracts, and made offers to

  7. New grad RN can't find a job, HELP!

    Kabin replied to ment2be's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I saw a "nurses needed" sign posted at the side walk at a Scottsdale LTC. I don't know the name but it's on 92nd St just north of

  10. Maricopa going to open more programs?

    Kabin replied to Calbrunette's topic in Arizona Nursing

    With the way things are going, I'd be surprised if student census didn't decrease within state and local government sponsored nursing

  11. Nursing and the economy...

    Kabin replied to sassiebaz's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Along those lines of helping each other out here's an idea to save some bucks. I saw an advertisement for magicjack, a voice over internet protocol phone service. Sort of like skype except it connects...

  12. Nursing and the economy...

    Kabin replied to sassiebaz's topic in Arizona Nursing

    These auto companies need to show viable business plans before receiving loans. GM, Ford, etc can't continue to build too many cars and pickups that few want while throwing thousands of dollars on the...

  13. Nursing and the economy...

    Kabin replied to sassiebaz's topic in Arizona Nursing

    At over $5 billion per month burn rate there isn't enough tax money to keep them afloat. Don't forget loaned money would first need to be borrowed from abroad as the US is a net debtor nation. A...

  14. Jobs in group homes

    Kabin replied to kythe's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Have you tried asking the group home owners? As you know group home owners tend to know other group home owners in the area as they compete and many times are related or from the same culture. Could...

  15. ASU spring '09 start bsn program

    Kabin replied to jeym7's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Once you graduate as a dr it's pretty much guaranteed employment for life. May not be as lucrative as it once was but it is job security. A small downside is being haunted by head hunters. :) And I...

  16. Nursing and the economy...

    Kabin replied to sassiebaz's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Watch out for bargain single digit stocks. I remember the ugly dot com days when stocks reverse split with a sudden halving of the number of shares owned. Better to stick with stocks with positive...

  17. Nursing and the economy...

    Kabin replied to sassiebaz's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Unfortunately there have been several nursing recessions in the past so nurses aren't immune, but I think nursing tolerates it well. On the other hand, I bet elective surgeries will slide, the...

  18. ASU spring '09 start bsn program

    Kabin replied to jeym7's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Very exciting for all of you! It could be the beginning of a long series of ASU frustrations.

  19. Just diagnosed with MRSA to nares and R foot.....

    Kabin replied to NurseAlwaysNForever's topic in General Nursing

    MSRA is becoming more and more prevalent. Estimates of prevalence in hopsitals between 1996-1999 are 40%. That's up big from 1976-1980 where it

  20. Men intimidated by RN salary?

    Kabin replied to ment2be's topic in General Nursing

    Never heard that but then again RN's don't make that

  21. Leaking Denver Drain

    Kabin posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Do many use denver drains for abdominal ascites? A forum search came back with no results. Started with my first a few months back, sutures gave way after the first week and was problematic, leaking...

  22. Leaking Denver Drain

    Kabin replied to Kabin's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I haven't asked that specifically but I'd guess it's because the sutures aren't expected to last. We seem to do a fair share of them and no one has a solution aside from daily visits and dressing...

  23. Slow times at hospitals?

    Kabin replied to palmtree61's topic in Arizona Nursing

    We had a meeting today at work on this topic. Hospital admissions are down more than usual for the summer time. Less traffic, fewer auto accidents? Less construction, less work accidents? More...

  24. Slow times at hospitals?

    Kabin replied to palmtree61's topic in Arizona Nursing

    More an economy based prediction but I bet a couple of hospital types will suffer; the cherry pickers and the level 1 trauma. Hopefully the slow down is short

  25. Question about pay

    Kabin replied to sbenning5's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Mayo is work 36hr, paid 36hr. If you're use to the traditional 40hr workweek that 10% hit put's you in the
