  1. JCL Birthing Center Closing

    Kabin posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Sad to see this in the news. Almost 100 jobs will be disrupted. Apparently it was a money loser what with state low income funding cuts. I'd guess the shortage of obstetric drs made a difference too....

  2. JCL Birthing Center Closing

    Kabin replied to Kabin's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Maybe this is why AZ Hospitals are bracing for state cuts. More than 250k Arizonans could be without medicaid benefits as qualifying requirements are raised. Brewer says Arizona wants Medicaid

  5. JCL Birthing Center Closing

    Kabin replied to Kabin's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yep, another round of cuts for sure. They were counting on Prop 302 to raid funds from other programs but that was defeated in the Nov

  6. NP jobs in AZ?

    Kabin replied to Kim2's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Let's bring this post up to date then. :) There aren't many safe havens today. Times are a changing. Fed and state government funding is collapsing and changes are in the pipeline. Funding cuts are...

  7. NCLEX passing rates 2010

    Kabin replied to silentRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    That's surprizing. Univ of Phx looks even worse. The two GCU entries show 11 and 16 fails for the year. Check the last line identified as

  8. Pay rate

    Kabin replied to yelnikmcwawa's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Pension plans were good years ago but the last few years were a brutal surprise to retirees. When the going gets tough pensions get underfunded. And when it really hits the fan the government steps in...

  9. Administering Botox and Derma Fillers

    Kabin replied to jlh636's topic in Arizona Nursing

    One of my coworkers is trained to do botox etc. She can't find a doc to work under. She would love to throw one of those parties

  10. Lay-offs

    Kabin replied to silentRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'd guess everyday hospital nursing attrition enables hospitals to slowly downside through burn-out, injuries,

  15. Tucson Nurses/ students, how did /do you find sick child care??

    Kabin replied to AniraP's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Gonna be tough to find. There's huge needs in this area but no one wants to pay much for it. It's pretty much one on one care. Some employers offer it as a benefit but the location/sites are few and...

  16. Jaded past in AZ... Need advice, please?

    Kabin replied to _phaedra_'s topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    It's good you're being honest and up-front with all during the process. Our class had a nurse with DUIs and other law run-ins, she may have been initially less than forthright with the AZBON. It took...

  17. Is it hard to get a job as a new grad?

    Kabin replied to JenWork's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Increasing RN school enrollment seemed like a great idea at the

  18. BSN from ASU?

    Kabin replied to blondielocks's topic in Arizona Nursing

    ASU had those prep tests a few years back they just didn't teach the NCLEX test taking skills/mindset. Couldn't hurt to add that at the very end of the last

  19. BSN from ASU?

    Kabin replied to blondielocks's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Don't know about the other schools but as I recall ASU provided no assistance in passing the NCLEX. It was all up to the student and (hopefully, like the good ole' days) the new hospital employer....

  20. AHCCCS Changes Ripple Through Nursing

    Kabin posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm sure many nurses are aware of the recent AZ state budgets cuts to AHCCCS but for all others they are rippling through health care agencies and we could see big demand changes in nursing. Hospitals...

  23. Governor's Budget cuts

    Kabin replied to silentRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Next week the courts may decide the fate of AZ's seriously mentally ill (SMI) population. Brewer is ok with dropping the satute and wants to cut SMI services to just crisis and medications. They're...

  24. Choices Network of Arizona

    Kabin replied to purple114's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I seem to remember AZ mental health case managers weren't RNs, rather they're bachelor, associate or even high school educated with varying levels of experience. The psych nurses tend to work at...
