  1. PVCC/Scottsdale HC Accelerated RN Nursing Program

    Kabin posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    I recall something similar for Scottsdale Community College. I saw this in today's local, once a week, newspaper. In January 2006, an accelerated (18 month) ADN class of 40 students will begin. It...

  2. PVCC/Scottsdale HC Accelerated RN Nursing Program

    Kabin replied to Kabin's topic in Arizona Nursing

    That's a good question, I just don't know. The article said they were increasing students by changing from 24 months to 18 months so I get the feeling it was an existing program. But I'm only...

  3. What are the item(s) you need most for nursing school?

    Kabin replied to rn2be2006's topic in General Students

    Yes, in a nutshell. We have hospital gowns that make the transition quicker and less painful. Since you will take turns with your partner doing health assessments like for the skin, you'll need to...

  4. Moving to Tucson again

    Kabin replied to DryMarsh's topic in Arizona Nursing

    What are they today? Last I heard they lowered the ratio, but reduced the # of LPNs and NAs at the same

  5. Tips on ASU BSN admission?

    Kabin replied to selaz's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yea, the ADN and BSN program lengths were a push for me as well. I'm not sure how long the ADN program would be, but the 16 month BSN programs are fast enough for me. I agree with the idea that the...

  6. Tips on ASU BSN admission?

    Kabin replied to selaz's topic in Arizona Nursing

    So your 3.7 could be even better once the 10 course are selected. The math test is simple math and you should be able to get very close to a 1.0. Based on the 7pt system... GPA___ 3.7 Math__ .98...

  7. Tips on ASU BSN admission?

    Kabin replied to selaz's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Just elaborating a bit on what was already said. If I recall correctly, you need to complete 13 of the 17 prereq courses to apply to ASU; if you already have a BS/BA degree, the nursing department...

  8. Um, HEEELLLOOO!!! Did you guys get in???

    Kabin replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Arizona Nursing

    If I missed out on this next semester I'd consider other options. Could try giving Grand Canyon a call. They might have slots available. The high tuition can be paid off by signing an multi-year...

  9. Hello AZZzzzz....

    Kabin replied to cardiacRN2006's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Sounds like the instructor is failing. Those course objectives should be clear enough that students can study the correct material and pass with a reasonably good score. Could it be a new

  10. Does the term 'Nurse' bother you?

    Kabin replied to Ekklesia's topic in Men in Nursing

    Not sure if you meant it to sound discriminatory. Would you be proud if you or a son weren't

  11. Word of encouragment from a male new grad

    Kabin replied to SteveNNP's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Maybe I'm missing something here, but it could be true if your overall GPA was less than

  12. Best Job/Best Money

    Kabin replied to lawc2315's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like you are very fortunate to be where you are today. Aside from that, I don't think it's fair, nor relevant, to compare US nursing to a 3rd world setting. US Nursing still needs to...

  13. It To Nursing..??

    Kabin replied to 2bnurseguy_2005's topic in Men in Nursing

    Yes! IT/computer science isn't as promising as it once was. There are quite a few folks abandoning that sinking

  14. Abrazo Healthcare Nursing Program Accepting Applications

    Kabin replied to mattsmom64's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Probably should contact ASU college of nursing for that. There are a few more prereq classes needed. Here's a checklist for the RN to BSN program....

  15. anyone worked at the Mayo Clinic Hospital?

    Kabin replied to nurse rnfa's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hi nurse rnfa, I really like it. It's a brand new program, 16 months straight through. Mayo employees are instructors so the classes work around their "day job" schedules. That would be perfect for...

  16. anyone worked at the Mayo Clinic Hospital?

    Kabin replied to nurse rnfa's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm in an accelerated BSN class being taught on-site and it appears to be a sweet place to work. I think it's been opened since 1999 so there aren't many that have worked there. The Mayo phillosophy...

    Kabin replied to Kabin's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Thanks Suzanne, I'll check it out. I think it might be the new Desert Ridge mall off of

  19. Do I have to honor my contract?

    Kabin replied to iliket3's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Some good advice in this thread. As long as the postion is easily filled, I'd also think they would work with you. I'm still in school so I don't have any direct experience to share, but my ethics...

  20. Stupid note cards(index cards) ? (want DARK lines)

    Kabin replied to PedsRN&momto5girls's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sort of related.. Anyone know of a software tool that enables one to make their own index card

  21. Do you ever get called, 'Doctor'?

    Kabin replied to Ekklesia's topic in Men in Nursing

    "Are you a doctor?" "No I just stayed at a Holiday Inn Express."

    Kabin replied to IndyGypsyNurse's topic in California Nursing

    I was thinking the same thing. You can't win with that contract

  25. Anyone else receive their ASU acceptance?

    Kabin replied to Kabin's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I remember now, I was in the group located farthest from the front of the room relative to where the presenters stood. And I was never clear about the reasons for breaking the group up, but it makes...
