  1. AZ Hospitals caught colluding

    Kabin replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm glad they were busted. I'd think AZ's right to work state status would be enough advantage for AZ hospitals. If AZ hospitals are looking to save $$$ they should eliminate that 2% by severing...

  2. Filipino nurses

    Kabin replied to monee8870's topic in Arizona Nursing

    It might be more of a California thing as I recall Kaiser in San Diego hired a disproportionate number of Filipino nurses in the 1990's. I think it was intially an attempt of hospitals trying to save...

  3. please help with location...

    Kabin replied to dlaura22's topic in Arizona Nursing

    There's not much ethnic influence from Ellis Island around here. There's authentic south west character in Cave Creek though. Probably not a place you'd be living as it could be a long commute but is...

  4. Canada's health system is as good or better than the US new research suggests

    Kabin replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Related to that is the issue of Canadian taxes. A Canadian engineer I worked with was glad to work in the

  5. Has anyone heard of Ethel Bauer School of Nursing?

    Kabin replied to N2lifeRU's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Sounds like things are falling apart nicely there similar to other local nursing

  6. Canada's health system is as good or better than the US new research suggests

    Kabin replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The government doesn't take in enough money with the current Medicaid coverage population and you think it can cover

  7. Canada's health system is as good or better than the US new research suggests

    Kabin replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    In spite of what they claim, that study is similar to comparing a Mercedes Benz to a Kia. The US healthcare model is broken, of course, as many are not covered but those that are have very good...

  8. PIMA Medical Institute

    Kabin replied to PaSsIoN_4_NuRsInG's topic in Arizona Nursing

    That sums-up nursing school realities these days. Congrats!

  9. Psych Nurse Relocating to AZ

    Kabin replied to nad1914's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You can google Value Options' news in AZ and find information about it. There were lots of stories about 2 or 3 years ago. Maybe Value Options members here can elaborate on it. Until then here's a...

  10. Psych Nurse Relocating to AZ

    Kabin replied to nad1914's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The big teaching hospitals are UMC in Tucson, Kino in Tucson, VA in Tucson, VA in Phx, Good Sam in Phx, and Maricopa County in Phx. If you're looking for ACT and Psych in Phx you'd probably want to...

  11. 2006 pass scores are out *and* broken down by college

    Kabin replied to AZmom's topic in Arizona Nursing

    And picking up the rear position is the University of Phoenix in Tuscon at

  12. 2006 pass scores are out *and* broken down by college

    Kabin replied to AZmom's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Ethel Bauer has growing pains with a 68% pass rate. Grand Canyon was surprizingly low at 80%. The reality is these results are a don't care as most would just be lucky to be accepted into any AZ...

  13. Hospital Reputations in Phoenix

    Kabin replied to Sunlover's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Nothing wrong with dressing like a house painter.

  14. Any Thoughts On Yuma?

    Kabin replied to Ayrman's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Don't your health care benefits adequately cover dental care? I would work in Yuma only as a last resort or education loans

  15. Working conditions for RN's

    Kabin replied to sirena1481's topic in Arizona Nursing

    There's a few 4:1 med/surg ratios in AZ. I recall there's at least one in Tucson (UMC I think) and a couple in Phx. There tends to be fewer PCAs with the

  16. arizona hospital association?

    Kabin replied to sandals's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm guessing there could be a few different lawsuits with the AHA, do you have any details about the one you're interested in? Is it about that Flagstaff hospital

  17. nursing pay "cap" is it true?

    Kabin replied to dlaura22's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Nursing tends to be an overhead operation in the hospital as there's little the normal nurse can direct charge for. Look out if we could ever charge for tasks

  18. Nursing Shoes For Men, do they exist?

    Kabin replied to nursesaideBen's topic in Men in Nursing

    Any atheletic shoe that's predominantly white works for

  19. Any Arizona RN Estheticians out there?

    Kabin replied to periwinkles's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I bet it would be difficult to find customers too. I assume you'd need to work under a doctor's license so you would probably need to give him/her some % of each transaction. It has risk factors...

  20. considering relocating to arizona

    Kabin replied to pirateduckie's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The one in Wickenberg is Remuda Ranch.

  21. Best RN pay in this area?

    Kabin replied to mugg54's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Have you tried the online salary sites (salary.com) or nursing agencies? Why not call a few hospital HR departments? They'd love to talk to you and you could weazle some info out of them at the same...

  22. Mayo clinic or Scottsdale healthcare system?

    Kabin replied to extreme's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Interesting that the above complaints originate from non-standard nursing care which is not the so called "Mayo way." Add to that at least one of you prefer working for hospitals that apparently allow...

  23. Mayo clinic or Scottsdale healthcare system?

    Kabin replied to extreme's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I haven't been in nursing long and what little time I've spent has only been with Mayo. Sorry if my comments sound like a commercial. It's not as if Mayo does things different just to be difficult or...

  24. Mayo clinic or Scottsdale healthcare system?

    Kabin replied to extreme's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I've noticed they're slightly overstaffed in critical care. I've heard nurses wanting OT are unable to get much or worse yet aren't getting regular hours. Guess that's a bit different than some valley...

  25. Advice on Positions to Work While in or Waiting to Attend Nursing School?

    Kabin replied to RNfaster's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I apologize in advance for not reading the entire thread. I have been told a great job while attending school is being a phlebotomist. There's lots of turn over and you can find jobs only requiring a...
