    Kabin replied to chocolateskye's topic in Arizona Nursing

  3. What are job prospects for new ADN grad in Phoenix?

    Kabin replied to MacMaster's topic in Arizona Nursing

  4. Medical Marijuana Opinions

    Kabin replied to SL2014's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Item #4 sounds like an internet myth. I recall years ago, a high school party where a stoned classmate electricuted himself after climbing an electric pole. Plenty of instances of stoned auto drivers...

  5. should i even waste my time???!

    Kabin replied to love_4_nursing's topic in Arizona Nursing

  6. AHCCCS Changes Ripple Through Nursing

    Kabin replied to Kabin's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Some of it's already happened, the rest is just a proposal. Ironic with the current Fed government's push for increased HC when some states can't afford current HC levels. Fewer AZ HC dollars means...

    Kabin replied to EZGM's topic in Arizona Nursing

  14. Any changes in the market (exp. nurse)- Phx area

    Kabin replied to itismemonica's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'd bet it's difficult to find positions in LTC/AL facilities as their census is down. Reportedly more family members are caring for loved one in their own homes. You'd think home health would be the...

  15. Thinking of a career in Informatics

    Kabin replied to JCamanche's topic in Nursing Informatics

    I don't think JC stuck around... But regarding the differences between corporate america and healthcare, I see lots of need for technological changes, some as basic as software bug fixes but there's...

    The 3 major hospital associations pre-negotiated a $155 billion deal with Obama for payment cuts over 10 years. Those are in the form of lower medicare and medcaid payments to hospitals. It isn't...

  21. leaving the hospital and 3 12's for working 5 8hours out of hospital

    Kabin replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

  23. Struggling To Decide on MD or FNP

    Kabin replied to Health-Nut's topic in General Nursing
