  1. How marketable is the ADN?

    Kabin replied to PhoenixGirl's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I've taken a quite a few online courses at Rio and one at Glendale (Health care organizations). From my perspective, Rio is much more organized. My complaint at Glendale is you can't print out online...

  2. New arrival in Phoenix!!!!!

    Kabin replied to UK2USA's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Oreganos is awesome. A must try is the pazukki (sp?), which is an oversized freshly baked chocolate chip cookie with ice cream on top. We were in Flagstaff this last weekend and had one at the NAU...

  3. Direct Entry Programs/Masters Entry

    Kabin replied to euqenna's topic in Nursing Career

    If I recall correctly, the University of San Diego has an MS entry program as well at least one school in the San Francisco

  5. Homesick for Cottonwood

    It would be nice to get out of the valley of heat, how are the jobs/pay in the Prescott

  6. Please give information about Tucson, Arizona

    Kabin replied to pie123's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Agreed on the south side, one would do well to stay clear from both living and working. And also in agreement with traffic sucking terribly down there. The east side is a nice place to live, but...

    It's true about the Mexican border, several years back the Mexican police chiefs would drive stolen American luxury cars. Suppodely shopping malls are some of the favorite locations for car thiefs....

  9. Anyone know of A&P2 online class starting in July?

    Kabin replied to RedSox33RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    If I remember correctly, Rio requires you to be in their nursing program before you can enroll in their nursing courses. Maybe that doesn't apply to

  11. ? about commuting time, traffic to Phoenix

    Kabin replied to Dixielee's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Casa Grand would be a heck of a haul even without rush hour traffic. If you're looking for a newer home, the NW side of town would be a better commute. There are older homes, not too far from PV...

  12. Paid OT available at Metro Phoenix Hospitals?

    Kabin replied to JDRT RN2006's topic in Arizona Nursing

    There was federal legislation regarding that. At one point it didn't have the votes, but last I heard it did. If anyone knows details please don't hesitate to add.

    Kabin replied to UK2USA's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Sure wished there was a Sweet Tomato in the NE side of town. For all the restaurants in town, that is surely

  14. Arizona nurses- please help!

    Kabin replied to JMP's topic in Arizona Nursing

    When my wife and I lived in the NE Tucson area back in 2000, we lived in the foothills area near Sabino Canyon and Kolb. A nice area with excellent schools and some natural wild life that comes down...

  15. Can NPs Prescribe for Family Members or Themselves?

    Kabin replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Good info. It's always best to play it safe. Many in the health care field have co-worker's (doc's or NP's) call the prescription

  16. What is your grading scale in nursing school?

    Kabin replied to BGSUstudent's topic in General Students

    How do the many teachers meet these globally dictated percentages? Certainly each class has unique difficulties, let alone each test, and once a test/assignment is given it's nearly impossible to...

  17. MD, DO, NP, DC, OD -- Who deserves the title PCP?

    Kabin replied to RMARTINNC's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Once again you make simplistic assumptions... I have never stated I would "put all faith in the medical ability of a NP." In the future I won't be responding to your seemingly cynical hyperbole. As...

  18. MD, DO, NP, DC, OD -- Who deserves the title PCP?

    Kabin replied to RMARTINNC's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If you're confused about something I said, I'd recommend first asking a question rather than draw on a simplistic conclusion that suites your hidden

  19. Advice on degree

    Kabin replied to bekah's topic in Arizona Nursing

    It's harder and harder to get into the BSN programs so if you can get in now I'd do

  20. MD, DO, NP, DC, OD -- Who deserves the title PCP?

    Kabin replied to RMARTINNC's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I went to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics website (http://www.bls.gov/oes/2003/may/oes290000.htm) and sure enough, there are no Nurse Practitioner statistics nor even an occupational listing. There...

  21. Just a note on the NP vs PA debate...

    Kabin replied to TMnurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I've heard NPs sometimes get paid at 80% of the doc's rate. If this is the point, it doesn't seem to be a show

  22. MD, DO, NP, DC, OD -- Who deserves the title PCP?

    Kabin replied to RMARTINNC's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hopefully my healthcare coverage is never so bad that I would need to rely on an optometrist to diagnose and treat potential eye diseases. Just to get back on the original topic, I think there is some...

  23. Your typical day as a psych nurse

    Kabin replied to Louisepug's topic in Psychiatric

    Yes thank you very much, that does shed some light on a typical day. I bet there are moments of excitement. Are there times when personel are threatened? Is there quick request/response to/from...

  24. Just a note on the NP vs PA debate...

    Kabin replied to TMnurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks for clearing that up. I checked out the AANP website and it describes recertification with the two options: 1) take a recertification test, 2) 1000 hours of clinical experience and 75...

  25. Just a note on the NP vs PA debate...

    Kabin replied to TMnurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    There's a load of misinformation. I don't know what schools you've researched by your knowledge base doesn't tie into my reality. NP programs that I'm familiar with require at least 1 year (2080 hrs)...
