  1. Ok, I give up, what is it....

    Kabin replied to natron20's topic in Nursing Informatics

    I did a nursing informatics observation at a large Phoenix hospital and found on one day that some informatics nurses: test code alarms in PT rooms, test new computer program/systems, and attend...

  2. Phoenix and Tucson home health care

    Kabin replied to EnergizerNurse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    A friend of mine works for Arizona Home Care in the central Phoenix area. They are supposed to be one of the better home health companies in the valley. I don't know how much they pay or perks. They...

  3. TUR-P v. GreenLight/PVP v. HOLAP

    Kabin replied to CIRQL8's topic in Operating Room

    I'm doing a urology clinical rotation and the topic interests me. Sounds like more surgeon training and equipment costs for possible improved results. I found a few tidbits from this UK link:...

  4. starting a new career at phoenix arizona

    Kabin replied to egroeg_kyut's topic in Arizona Nursing

    It was a balmy 118

  5. Hospital Reputations in Phoenix

    Kabin replied to Sunlover's topic in Arizona Nursing

    That about sums up Mayo. Like most places they have some real weiners there. The main thing I didn't like at PCH was the high immigrant patient population. Think I'd be too tempted to call sheriff...

  6. Good NICUs in Phoenix area?

    Kabin replied to nason3's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm partial to Good Sam since my daughter was born

  7. Male Nurses/female Patients

    Kabin replied to ern91's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm sure that is the case in many places but at least one well known and well respected hospital backs all male nurses by telling PTs they will help them check into another hospital if they have a...

  8. misdemeanors on record

    Kabin replied to mwise's topic in Arizona Nursing

    This was all I could find on the AZ B of N website: http://www.azbn.gov/documents/npa/Rules.pdf Under list of "Unprofessional Conduct" B. For purposes of A.R.S. 32-1601(16)(d), any conduct or...

  9. Dental Hygienist or Nursing??

    Kabin replied to c18436572's topic in Arizona Nursing

    There's a lot of changes in the healthcare biz these days and DH's may be pricing themselves out of business. My dentist can't afford to hire them anymore so he does all the teeth cleaning

  10. Mentorship programs for RN men

    Kabin replied to pmueller's topic in Men in Nursing

    Very much lacking at my school. To put things into perspective, I've only had one male preceptor so I'd assume a male mentor would be very unlikely. He's been doing nursing for over 20 years. He has...

  11. traumatized by vermin

    Kabin replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Brings back memories of living in Tucson. In 1995 I lived in newly constructed apartments near Sabino Canyon and Snyder Rd. There were oodles of little clear bark scorpions. After a while you built...

  12. Required to wear all white and carry a flower during pinning cermony

    Kabin replied to Bala Shark's topic in Men in Nursing

    It's been documented that Nightingale spent very little if any at all time on the battlefield. In fact, writers following Florence's life during the Crimeal War noted Mary Seacole, the 'black...

  13. Required to wear all white and carry a flower during pinning cermony

    Kabin replied to Bala Shark's topic in Men in Nursing

    I would've opted out for sure. Regardless of who was involved in the planning, common sense says both nursing genders will partake in the ceremony. That planning seriously lacked critical thinking....

  14. Male Nursing

    Kabin replied to jturpin4's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I remember the first semester lab partner assignments when we were the told the assignments were random but yet me and the other guy in the class ended up together. Other lab days the females quickly...

  15. Maricopa

    Kabin replied to nursebear168's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I've never been there but it's a small town south of Phoenix. The one way travel distance to Good Sam is about 35 miles.

  16. Moving, need help please

    Kabin replied to twiceaslucky's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm not sure how good the roads are but it's about 35 miles one way.

  18. RNFA 'S

    Kabin replied to CATHY RNFA's topic in Operating Room

    Sounds like the pot calling the kettle

  19. Renting an apt in Scottsdale

    Kabin replied to Seank's topic in Arizona Nursing

    We pay the price for about 3 to 4 months each year but it's really nice the remainder of the

  20. Moving, need help please

    Kabin replied to twiceaslucky's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I googled the following Queen Creek link. Seems to have some good info and relocation brochures. It could be a realtor's site to fish potential new Queen Creek residents....

  21. Hospital FA Preference: PA versus RN

    Kabin posted a topic in Operating Room

    I've found some hospitals use PA FAs exclusively. I'm not sure how common this is. Anyone know a stat reference identifying how many hospitals use RNFAs or which hospitals aren't RNFA

  22. Hospital FA Preference: PA versus RN

    Kabin replied to Kabin's topic in Operating Room

    Related to the PA versus RNFA topic, I ran into a retired anesthesiologist at the gym today and he threw water on the RNFA area with this summary: "Why would a surgeon use an RFNA when he can use a PA...

  23. Senior 2 Clinical Selection

    Kabin posted a topic in Operating Room

    Our last semester clinical selection is called leadership and it's a 6 week period where we take on full patient loads, etc. I'm receiving conflicting information about the area to choose. One...

    Thanks all for the input! I've decided to go with the OR
