  1. Asu?

    Kabin replied to chuckcamp's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Thanks, I just checked it out and sure enough they have a regular BSN program as well as an accelerated RN to BSN program. Tuition is roughly the same as ASU. I bet their version of health care ethics...

  2. Asu?

    Kabin replied to chuckcamp's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yikes, ASU has so many applicants that it will continue to be more and more competitve. Last I remembered Grand Cayon's program was for LPNs and such going the BSN route. Am I off base or did...

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

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

    Oddly enough, PAs make slightly more than NPs in my area. A member here explained that this was due to PAs typically work in better paying clinics, whereas NPs typically work in

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

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

    Physicians are licensed and don't need to retest to maintain licensure. However, if the physician is board certified, he/she needs to retake a board certification test every 10

  5. Your typical day as a psych nurse

    Kabin replied to Louisepug's topic in Psychiatric

    I too would love to hear as I am considering the same.

  6. Do you need your BSN before you become an NP?

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

    There are also accelerated programs that only require a bachelors degree (non nursing and, IIRC, non RN) to pursue the MS in nursing. The case in point was a program at the University of San

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

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

    Interesting thread as I've been internally debating the PA/NP path for a few days now. I received a PA flyer from MidWestern University and it states that PAs need to sit for a recertification exam...

  8. Asu?

    Kabin replied to chuckcamp's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I can't tell you about the UofA, but ASU is fairly competitive. ASU's BSN entrance only considers GPA for pre-requisites and adds the NET math and reading comprehension scores for a theoretical...

  9. Tucson Neighborhoods

    Kabin replied to dwag's topic in Arizona Nursing

    My wife worked at UMC and lived in apartments north on Campbell. It was in the foothills north of Sunrise, if I remember correctly. The complex was equipped with pretty views, javalina, and UMC...

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

    Kabin replied to AZhopeful's topic in Arizona Nursing

    It does seem like a nitch. MidWestern's website has a description of CRNAs as they relate to MD anesthesiologist and CRNA sounds pretty watered-down. I'm still not clear about what a CRNA would do in...

  11. Want to move to AZ, help me with some ??'s please!

    Kabin replied to jdlomheim's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Traffic in Tuscon depends on where you work and live. From 1998 to 2000, We lived in the foothills just west of Sabino Canyon and commuted to the airport. Those 18 miles took 45 minutes one way down...

  12. Want to move to AZ, help me with some ??'s please!

    Kabin replied to jdlomheim's topic in Arizona Nursing

    We were looking at Prescott for a summer home, its pretty but can be expensive. After the recent droughts, bark beatle infestation, and fire danger it sort of lost its luster for us. It's still...

  13. Sierra Vista or Tucson???

    Kabin replied to military spouse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Could you confirm about UMC's 4:1 nurse patient ratio? A friend working at UMC said they trimmed the ratio by reducing tech help so now RNs are doing more basic care nursing in addition to previous...

  14. Accelerated Nursing Degree

    Kabin replied to mookie's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Although I know it's out there, the ASU East web site doesn't mention a nursng program at

  15. Questions regarding Benson AZ

    Kabin replied to BIGCITY's topic in Arizona Nursing

    When I lived in Tucson a co-worker commutted from Benson. It's a pretty little town. Not sure about quality of school districts there. Karchner Caverns are a new tourist area nearby. Benson has strong...

  16. Relationships with Docs

    Kabin replied to shirleyTX's topic in MICU, SICU

    I could see that case happening, especially in the university-type hospitals. Hopefully those are the single docs, otherwise their wives will take them to the proverbial

  17. RN to MD track

    Kabin replied to rhp123's topic in General Nursing

    It's all about that white coat.

  18. Relationships with Docs

    Kabin replied to shirleyTX's topic in MICU, SICU

    I was just talking to my wife's friend, ~10yr experience and recent NP grad, and she says the same. She claimed male doctors tend to be more friendly with male nurses, perhaps asking them to play...

  19. RN to MD track

    Kabin replied to rhp123's topic in General Nursing

    Education in another language can be difficult. It's one thing to have basic communications skills in a secondary language, a.k.a playground language, but entirely different for secondary language...

  20. RN to MD track

    Kabin replied to rhp123's topic in General Nursing

    That seems pretty good. Any idea how that compares to non-RN

  21. RN to MD track

    Kabin replied to rhp123's topic in General Nursing

    Medical school and residency is a long road, and then there's tuition bills that are difficult to pay on a resident's salary and so the interest grows on your student loans. Admissions isn't easy...

  22. Sierra Vista or Tucson???

    Kabin replied to military spouse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    UMC might be a good place to work. On the otherhand, my wife was a resident/attending there and I recall there were always $ shortage problems, maybe more related to a lack of research funding. If...

  23. Accelerated Nursing Degree

    Kabin replied to mookie's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I don't know anything about the program but would think it should be a good one. I'm in the same boat in Phx, BS degree and would prefer an accelerated program. Unfortunately none exist at ASU. They...
