  1. Arizona, California, Texas?

    Kabin replied to MSUnurse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I forgot to mention we really like the Sante Fe area but it's a bit too

  2. Arizona, California, Texas?

    Kabin replied to MSUnurse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I almost moved to the northern Dallas area. Had a job and everything. There were a few things we didn't like though. Humidity, lack of mountains, and the biggy was bible belt oddities like being a...

  3. Good Samartian Hospital in Phoenix, AZ

    Kabin replied to KatieRN04's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I wonder if Good Sam's low pay is historical or related to Banner's recent purchase of the hospital. I'm afraid that as Banner buys more hospitals/clinics they will be more able to dictate salaries in...

  4. Arizona RNs! Are you getting this type of pay??

    Kabin replied to GilbertDaddy's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Lots of opportunity to make money in nursing. Some work overtime and others pull down several jobs to supplement the income. I went to a local conference last week and the speaker was a sleep...

  5. Online NI Education Options?

    Kabin replied to Kabin's topic in Nursing Informatics

    That's good news. I checked University of Phx (both online and a recruiter at a local job fair) and they don't currently offer an informatics

  6. Online NI Education Options?

    Kabin replied to Kabin's topic in Nursing Informatics

    Thanks for responding, albeit someone

  7. Tmc?

    Kabin replied to shadylane21's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I recall at least one Tucson hospital was osteopathic. I thought it was

  8. Drowning in BIO 202..What to do???

    Kabin replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I recently talked to one of the Rio pharm instructors about the class and she says she and another instructor are in the process of changing it and it won't get any better. It will be a blistering...

  9. How do I start?

    Kabin replied to Snowshooz's topic in Nursing Informatics

    I didn't realize most positions required a masters

  10. AZ ADN students

    Kabin replied to cardiacRN2006's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I too can understand the weeding out process as the nursing school workload is so great. As far as the CNA pre-req goes, there are a few nursing masters degree programs that allow...

  11. Shy guys

    Kabin replied to narcissistic's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Most all nursing schools require speeches/presentations. It's good practice for when you get out and have to do teaching in the community, hospital, family, or just one patient. Nursing jobs may also...

  12. Nursing diagnosis "altered energy field"

    Kabin replied to paphgrl's topic in General Nursing

    I was bad and didn't take the time to read all of 300+ posts , but I think the "altered energy field" nursing diagnosis was intended to tie in to the modern, new age nursing theories. They are out...

  13. New Grad??? Salary??

    Kabin replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Lifting 50 lbs is one thing, bending over to pick it up off of the floor and running with it is another thing entirely. The source of the info was a nurse with 20+ years experience and she was...

  14. Shy guys

    Kabin replied to narcissistic's topic in Male Nursing Students

    It can be a pretty traumatic stressing experience with blushing, nervous movements, etc and those compound the problem. The body reacts the same whether the stimulus is a speech class or a class...

  15. Shy guys

    Kabin replied to narcissistic's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I've used a low dose before (10 mg) and I never felt drowsy or dizzy. But then again, when you're amped up for a presentation, the CNS lowering effects are probably offset. A good doc/provider should...

  16. Is it just me?

    Kabin replied to antihippie's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I've noticed psych nursing actually talks about professional boundaries, otherwise nursing seems to have some wide open potential nurse to patient

  17. Shy guys

    Kabin replied to narcissistic's topic in Male Nursing Students

    You might consider seeing a primary care doc for a beta blocker like propranolol. They can have loads of side effects but they also take the edge

  18. New Grad??? Salary??

    Kabin replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I spoke to a banner nurse and she loves it there. She's working at the Banner Behavioral Health Hospital. She's been in the industry for a while and was surprised about how picky Banner was. I'd guess...

  19. Phx area scrubs store

    Kabin posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Any suggestions on a brick/mortar store to purchase some scrubs? I'm in the N.E. Phoenix

  20. Does the term 'Nurse' bother you?

    Kabin replied to Ekklesia's topic in Men in Nursing

    Then I'd recommend you start a thread on your solutions for those "really important things" after all you think you're wasting your time on this topic.

  21. Does the term 'Nurse' bother you?

    Kabin replied to Ekklesia's topic in Men in Nursing

    I don't think nursing credentials are the problem. Rather, when nurse techs, nurse assistants, licensed practical nurses, registered nurses, nurse practitioners, etc are all called the same thing...

  22. Does the term 'Nurse' bother you?

    Kabin replied to Ekklesia's topic in Men in Nursing

    I always laugh when I hear people say if you don't like XXX then get out of the profession. I wonder what these folks would say if nurses were still wearing white caps or it was back in the times when...

  23. Columbia MO RN Salaries

    Kabin posted a topic in General Nursing

    My spouse was considering a well-paying position in Columbia and I was wondering how I would fare considering the horror stories about low salaries in St Louis and SW MO. How are staff RN salaries in...

  24. Does the term 'Nurse' bother you?

    Kabin replied to Ekklesia's topic in Men in Nursing

    I was searching the internet for images of nursing and of course several of the first images located were babies and exposed female breasts. I can't think of another profession that has this kind of...

  25. Does the term 'Nurse' bother you?

    Kabin replied to Ekklesia's topic in Men in Nursing

    At least for professional nursing, it is broken and it will be
