    Kabin replied to Calzonan RN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    ASU recently added another entrance requirement and I doubt entrance cutoffs are decreasing. Like most states, AZ schools are adding more seats whenever possible but it's in micro steps. The AZ...

    Kabin replied to lccougar02's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I know it's a luxury, but if I'm spending $$ on a treo 600 I need to justify the wireless internet access feature and voice/internet/data plans are over $60 a month. I guess my low cost wireless plan...

    Kabin replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I took the traditional in person course. I'd recommend the traditional for patho. The instructor had horror stories about online patho students looking to transfer to the traditional after the first...

  6. Anyone get A's in nursing school?

    Kabin replied to Roseyposey's topic in General Students

    My spouse is a physician as well and can't believe the level of knowledge that's expected from just nursing school prereq courses. I wonder how much influence the compressed 'A' level grading scale...

  7. which PDA should I buy??

    Kabin replied to lccougar02's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm not sure which PDA to get I was looking a few months back. I think I might want something with a voice recorder and that's about the only thing the T5 doesn't have (no camera either, ok with me)....

  8. which PDA should I buy??

    Kabin replied to lccougar02's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Windows98 was very clunky and unreliable. I sure don't miss daily computer crashes with the window scolding me for improperly shutting the computer

    Kabin replied to Annointed_RNStudent's topic in Men in Nursing

    It does add more gender challenge to an already gender challenged profession, but I say if you feel comfortable with it, "get-r-done."

  11. GCC PT program and Study Tips!

    Kabin replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Are you taking Patho at Glendale? I had ***** and she was ok. The lecture was chatty and more anecdotal hospital story telling, so note taking was challenging. I didn't think she gave many clues...

    Found some info on Kino operations last night. Summarizing: University Physicians Inc. (UPI, a non profit organization) entered into a flexible 25 yr lease. For the first 10 years, the county pays...

  14. Good Hospitals for New Grads in Tucson

    Kabin replied to Nemhain's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I didn't realize UPI took over the reigns at Kino. There are a few things one might be interested to know before working there. According to an online 2003 Tucson Weekly article stated Kino has been...

    Kabin replied to malenursetobe@21's topic in Men in Nursing

    I appreciate the American veterans and their families that have given so much. But as with many other Americans, I enjoy the freedoms of the US and have served in the US military to guarantee them....

    Kabin replied to malenursetobe@21's topic in Men in Nursing

    Aside from the practicality of personal freedom and expression of one's style, autos have a great history in the US. I guess there will always be those that can't appreciate that. Communicating in an...

  19. Does the term 'Nurse' bother you?

    Kabin replied to Ekklesia's topic in Men in Nursing

    It may not bother men having already joined the nursing ranks, but it may have adverse influence on a far larger population of high school aged teenagers and older men considering nursing as a...

  20. 4 years to get ADN? Is this just stupid?

    Kabin replied to onehusbandsevenkids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I believe around here ADN and BSN programs are about the same length of time. The big difference is ADN students need to complete a nursing assistant program first whereas BSN programs have to...

    Kabin replied to Kabin's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm wondering the same thing; all these new homes and that awesome hospital isn't pulling in enough non-trauma patients yet. The report makes it sound like doctors are beginning new practices which...

  22. Master's Program (in AZ) in nursing

    Kabin replied to AZhopeful's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm beginning to think you're just a troll looking for confrontation as each of your forum posts have twisted the original topics. People like you get isolated and spit out in the real world. For the...

  23. Master's Program (in AZ) in nursing

    Kabin replied to AZhopeful's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Thanks for providing some info on an old topic. Note that my comments/questions were directed at what a CRNA does and not how good Midwestern's program is. But thanks for sharing. And in the category...
