  1. How in the world do you make it in CA?

    Kabin replied to IndyGypsyNurse's topic in California Nursing

    It's tricky to compare salaries from different regions. Remember higher incomes only bump you into higher tax bracket so you keep a smaller percentage of the additional earnings. It's better to go to...

  2. Where to live??

    Kabin replied to madwife2002's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hi Kay, Sorry, but I'm having trouble finding anything official on the web regarding the topic. I think it's called "light rail" and the voters passed it a year or more ago. I'm not sure how accurate...

  3. Where to live??

    Kabin replied to madwife2002's topic in Arizona Nursing

    For those looking to purchase a home and work in central Phx, it might be good to look at the trolley

  4. Upswing in community college applications...

    Kabin replied to MsBruiser's topic in Arizona Nursing

    It seems hard to believe they would toss those classes. Wouldn't they just be moved out of the program and to the prerequisite course

  5. Anyone else receive their ASU acceptance?

    Kabin replied to Kabin's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Thanks! It's going to be real busy, real

  6. Anyone else receive their ASU acceptance?

    Kabin replied to Kabin's topic in Arizona Nursing

    That's a good question, I don't know. I'm not even sure what a "learning community" is. What about

  7. ASU BSN program, anyone?

    Kabin replied to FutureRNinAZ's topic in Arizona Nursing

    For the Fall 2005 application, Eng101 and Eng102 were mandatory courses for the 13 classes used for GPA calculation. Also, Eng101 and Eng102, as well as Phi103 (Philosophy), are waived for 2nd degree...

  8. Arizona Nursing Links

    Kabin replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Great

  9. Are there any schools in Phoenix besides ASU that offer MSN programs?

    Kabin replied to klone's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Wow, ASU has a great selection of NP programs (7) when compared to anything else available in the

  10. ASU BSN program, anyone?

    Kabin replied to FutureRNinAZ's topic in Arizona Nursing

    There is about 8 months lead time on ASU's application process, but you can take classes after you apply. To get an idea... For Spring '06 admissions, the application deadline was probably around July...

  11. "Don't waste your time getting your BSN..."

    Kabin replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    This is where someone is suppose to say "a brain is a terrible thing to waste."

  12. "Don't waste your time getting your BSN..."

    Kabin replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Some schools are going away from PA BS degrees and instead making them MS

  13. Getting Organized Before Starting School

    Kabin replied to Katydidit34's topic in General Students

    We were informed at orientation that we'll be given a patho test on the 3rd week of the semester to evaluate knowledge base. If we do poorly, we must remediate. Supposedly test results are compared to...

  14. "Don't waste your time getting your BSN..."

    Kabin replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I recently read the county community college district was looking into offering BSN degrees. There isn't much difference between ADN and BSN so it makes sense. I'd bet if there were more BSN slots...

  15. "Don't waste your time getting your BSN..."

    Kabin replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Or if you are cash strapped with a BSN, you can work while studying for a MS.

  16. "Don't waste your time getting your BSN..."

    Kabin replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    ... for both BSN and ADN

  17. "Don't waste your time getting your BSN..."

    Kabin replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I think I've read some accelerated BSN programs are only 12 months.

  18. "Don't waste your time getting your BSN..."

    Kabin replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Good points. Some other generalized complaints I hear regarding the local ADN/BSN program differences are BSNs do more classroom stuff (more concentration on textbooks, research papers, etc) and less...

  19. "Don't waste your time getting your BSN..."

    Kabin replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Yep, that's always an option. Just beware of strings being attached. I'm not aware of any schools in my area that have low NCLEX pass rates. I think almost all are over 90%. And to be honest,...

  20. Surgeon joke

    Kabin replied to group_theory's topic in Nursing Humor

    Let me first say I'm sorry if this offends blonde nurses, but this is the only nurse joke I know and I just heard it yesterday. Why does a blonde nurse carry a red pen? To draw blood.

  21. "Don't waste your time getting your BSN..."

    Kabin replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Looking at the original question about wasting time... From what I've seen there isn't a sizable time difference between ADN and BSN programs as local ADN programs take many of the same pre-reqs as...

  22. horizontal abuse,in-figting among our peers

    Kabin replied to James Garrity's topic in Men in Nursing

    That's true, but there are cases of female nurses, nanny's, and even some teachers doing unforgiveable acts. Remember that many postal workers and police officers are also military vets with war...

  23. Roll Call

    Kabin replied to Tweety's topic in Men in Nursing

    I figured lucrative travel jobs would be in those few countries with loads of money like Saudi Arabia. I bet there is plenty of nurse volunteer work in

  24. How much studying in a day???

    Kabin replied to Nathalie's topic in General Students

    Although it seems excessive to me, I'll share some orientation notes with the school's "university formula" (their term). For lab/clinical courses = 3 hours of study for each 1 credit hour. For...

  25. How long did it take you to get into nursing school?

    Kabin replied to Calzonan RN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    That's great news, I didn't think folks getting unsubsidized federal loans ever got a
