  1. ANA rec BSN vs ASN

    Kabin replied to TypicalFish's topic in General Nursing

    These are silly points you're raising. Obviously education and behavior are not the same thing. Note that I never peeped a word about behavior. I suspect you have an axe to grind

  2. Schiavo Autopsy Complete

    Kabin posted a topic in General Nursing

    Looks like the autopsy supports Terri's husband. http://www.cnn.com/2005/HEALTH/06/15/schiavo.autopsy.ap/index.html LARGO, Florida (AP) -- An autopsy on Terri Schiavo backed her husband's contention...

  3. ANA rec BSN vs ASN

    Kabin replied to TypicalFish's topic in General Nursing

    Try to look at it from a different perspective as it's very straight forward. Universities receive research grants which are spent to advance knowledge within a profession. Community Colleges are...

  4. ANA rec BSN vs ASN

    Kabin replied to TypicalFish's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with a previous comment that the ANA is all about promoting nursing professionalism. Obviously, this is more easily achieved at universities versus community colleges. Having said that, I can...

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

    Kabin replied to Calzonan RN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I had a list and either tossed it or misplaced it. I recall it included most of the big hospitals like John C Lincoln. I'll keep

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

    Kabin replied to Calzonan RN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    There are a few relatively quick entry options such as Grand Canyon University and, I imagine, the Pima Medical Institute. Usually the downside is cost, but remember some hospitals pay off student...

  7. Quick -- where can I live in Phoenix?

    Kabin replied to Aurora's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Sorry, but I'm not familiar with the area. There should be some apartments that cater to shorter stays. Might be good to do a search for an apartment locator service. Thirteen weeks may limit your...

  8. Hows the job market for new grads?

    Kabin replied to PhoenixGirl's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I just visited the Maricopa County Health Building for a TB test and they also hire LPNs. For what it's worth, the nurse I saw told me they were underpaid. Guess that isn't very shocking considering...

  9. What's nursing school like?

    Kabin replied to Doug85's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Yikes, I'd run run from that

  10. Ever taken an online class?

    Kabin replied to totallytheresa's topic in General Nursing

    There are good online course programs and not so good programs. Good programs have course and lecture objectives clearly stated. And as long as you've studied the objectives you know you'll do well in...

  11. Wearing scrubs in public...

    Kabin replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    Hospital germs are on a different level. Might be good to keep disinfectant in the car and spray one's shoes before entering the

  13. baths?

    Kabin replied to roxburin's topic in Men in Nursing

    I bet this would add some stressors. I've heard some nursing programs require students to bathe each

  14. baths?

    Kabin replied to roxburin's topic in Men in Nursing

    This is an interesting topic and I can see it both ways. I'd still rather minimize my bathing time experiences with the patient. I can only imagine how uncomfortable I would feel being bathed as a...

  15. CRNA Programs in New England for Non-nursing majors?

    Kabin replied to drthomasjay's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Interesting, I'm surprised there are any schools offering that type of

  16. School Pass Rates??

    Kabin replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm sure I've seen an older spreadsheet somewhere with all AZ school results, but I can't located it now. I did find an incomplete list from this AZ BON news release and Arizona schools are doing very...

  17. Thinking About Moving to AZ Sometime.....Need Info

    Kabin replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Time for a reality check from someone that recently lived in both Phx and Tucson... University of Tucson? Actually, it's called the University of Arizona. Better traffic in Tucson? Better keep...

  18. Arizona Agency

    Kabin replied to jackie14's topic in Arizona Nursing

    It's tough to start anything when you're on the outside. I'd guess the best way to learn how an agency works would be to get hired by an agency (not necessarily as a nurse either). Learn everything...

    Kabin replied to bellcollector's topic in General Nursing

    Alot depends on climate and activity level, but drinking slightly more is better than slightly

    Friday's Republic had an article on new hosptal spending as a result of bond issues in the last vote. They say it's about $1 million/hospital bed. -Sun Health will add 98 beds to the Del Web Memorial...

  23. Phx Valley Hospital Growth

    Kabin replied to Kabin's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I wish I could help you out with the job search, but right now I'm out of the system as I'm starting an accelerated BSN program in the fall. From what I hear the hospitals are hurting for nurses, so...
