    SL2014 replied to tadahh99's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Uh oh, I just looked ln the AZ board of nursing website for approved NP programs and the only ones listed are GCU, ASU, U of A and UOP... I wonder if those are it... Maybe I'll have to keep the MSN...

  2. Anyone attending Kaplan or Walden University?

    SL2014 replied to tadahh99's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hello I am also looking into Walden because they do not require experience for the NP program. I have also applied to U of A's BSN-DNP, which is my first choice but I am trying to keep a back up plan...

    SL2014 replied to Hawk22's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Oh and the neighborhood is a little sketchy, again we are talking about a public health institution here... But I saw security in the parking lot on my trips to the facility. :) bad people exist in...

  4. Maricopa Medical Center

    SL2014 replied to Hawk22's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Chello!! I was recently also offered a job at MIHS. I am a new grad and scheduled to start on Jan 28th, even though I'm trying to not be excited until I'm actually working there (because anything can...

  7. New Grad BSN, RN and cannot find a job!! HELP!

    SL2014 replied to sydneyw19's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Hello, I just wanted to let you know I feel your pain. I'm in Phoenix, Arizona, I graduated in August and have applied for almost 200 jobs. I graduated with a 3.75, I have ACLS, PALS and BLS. I am a...

  8. University of Arizona BSN-DNP

    SL2014 replied to rachelaleanRN2B's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Update: I called and spoke to them regarding acceptance rate: there were 170 applicants last year, with 80 slots available. There are also 80 slots available this year but they are expecting closer to...

  9. University of Arizona BSN-DNP

    SL2014 replied to rachelaleanRN2B's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Then you may be doing something incorrectly because they applications are DEFINITELY still open. I would suggest using the "contact us" tab, specifically outline the issue that you are having (there...

  10. University of Arizona BSN-DNP

    SL2014 replied to rachelaleanRN2B's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Tuition rates are on the website, as far as acceptance goes I am wondering the same thing. It would make sense that they would prefer experience but we shall see. They state on their website that you...

  11. New Grad Jobs in Hawaii

    SL2014 replied to alr25's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks for the reply. It looks like I will get finish my DNP here in Phoenix before I consider moving. The job market is really rough, I've given up on finding a job

  12. New Grad Jobs in Hawaii

    SL2014 replied to alr25's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm in the same boat. New grad RN, fiends in Hawaii are suggesting I move there... Thinking about it but want to hear how the new grad job market is

  13. Trying to decide if it's worth it

    SL2014 replied to melc0305's topic in General Students

    NO. As far as people saying new grads are making 60k a year.... WHEN THEY CAN GET JOBS. It's pretty wicked out there right now. I live in Phoenix, we have a corporate company called Banner, well out...

  14. Army HPSP

    SL2014 replied to ckh23's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I've been looking into the Air Force HPSP program and it's been EXTREMELY hard to get a hold of someone. If you get any more experience with the HPSP program please post about it, I'm very interested...

  15. Do I give the med or hold?

    SL2014 replied to spectrabrite's topic in Patient Medications

    And a final note, if you ask a lot of these people, when they are at home they take their synthroid before breakfast... It's a point that is emphasized by primary care. That being said if a person is...

  16. Do I give the med or hold?

    SL2014 replied to spectrabrite's topic in Patient Medications

    And morte, levothyroxine is almost exclusively a QAM drug, so it will only be given before breakfast. Other drugs that designate "on an empty stomach" means 30 minutes before and 2 hours after

  17. Do I give the med or hold?

    SL2014 replied to spectrabrite's topic in Patient Medications

    Last time I checked doctors done order meds for a specific time lol the order is written "levothyroxine xmcg PO QAM" sometimes with "ac" after QAM... The time listed on the mars is not the physican's...

  18. Do I give the med or hold?

    SL2014 replied to spectrabrite's topic in Patient Medications

    We have obviously gotten off of topic from the original post, if you would like to discuss this further you can private message

  19. Do I give the med or hold?

    SL2014 replied to spectrabrite's topic in Patient Medications

    Yes, you wake them up 30 minutes before breakfast. And yes, the nurses that have been doing it for years are wrong, this is what we call "evidence based research" and second, it takes a month for the...

  20. Do I give the med or hold?

    SL2014 replied to spectrabrite's topic in Patient Medications

    Nor do I find it wise or ethical for you to tell new grads that the drug book shouldn't be followed because common sense supersedes research... I would hope that any new grads reading this post would...

  21. Do I give the med or hold?

    SL2014 replied to spectrabrite's topic in Patient Medications

    No offense, but you are wrong. Just because it's the way you've always done it and in "your experience" it's doesn't matter, that is not true. Until you have Pharm D after your name I don't think that...

  22. Do I give the med or hold?

    SL2014 replied to spectrabrite's topic in Patient Medications

  23. All of a sudden an ASN is no good anymore

    SL2014 replied to pattyslattery's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Your frustration is duly noted and understandable. To answer your question: Change. The world is in a constant state of change. You can choose to be bitter and angry or you can change with the world....

  24. Do I give the med or hold?

    SL2014 replied to spectrabrite's topic in Patient Medications

    Very well said. "this is the way we've always done it" is never the right answer. The suggestions in medication books aren't arbitrarily chosen, there is research supporting

  25. Do I give the med or hold?

    SL2014 replied to spectrabrite's topic in Patient Medications

    Levothyroxine should ALWAYS be given on an empty stomach because of how it is absorbed. While there are a lot of drugs that are recommended to be taken on an empty stomach and don't really "need" to...
