  1. For about 4 or 5 days now I get this sensation like a pill is loged in my throat, like I swallowed it, but it didn't go down. It doesn't hurt, but is quite anoying. By night time I feel like I'm going to go mad. Has anyone heard of what this might be...
  2. humanities

    Question for pre-req's. I need to decide on a humanities class..... it's a toss-up between philosophy.. Bio-ethics and anthropolgy..lost ancient cities. If have taken either of these classes, I could use some input! Thanx!
  3. Should I volunteer?

  4. What Ive noticed...

    I'm at a community college in Phoenix, and a D is as bad as an F. I know I wouldn't want a nurse that is happy about perfoming less than average to work on me! I suppose that's why statiscally only half make it through the program.
  5. Good Hospitals For New Grads in Phoenix

    If your an employee of the hospital you can enter their nursing program and they pay for all of your edu. That means if you qualify for grants... it's $$$ in your pocket you don't have to payback. You can always transfer at a later semester if you wa...

  7. Nurse doing cocaine HELP

  8. Good Hospitals for New Grads in Tucson

    just try to stay out of kino! they are all homeless, illegals, beyond poor, ect. not to sound discriminatory, they need help too, but it is on the far south side of town where it is very poverty stricken, and i've heard it is really hard to work ther...

    i had my son at scottsdale health center, the nurses there is what motivated me to go back to school and earn my R.N. i had him by c-section, and the floor i was on was c-section only. i wasn't paired up with a natural birth mom getting dis-charged a...

  11. Tattoo's on Nurses

  12. With Children?

    I am just starting school, and a part of why I wanted to do nursing was "you can go ANYWHERE". Travel nurse sounds like something I would like to look into. By the time I graduate, my son will be 4 and my daughter 13. Is it possible to do travel nurs...
  13. A&P2 same time as Chem

    I am taking chem 130, A & P, math 120, an dneglish 101. The only reason it's so overwhelming for me is I have 2 kids, and one is a toddler. It's hard to find study time and attempt a social life on top of school (Fri and Sat are my nights!) But i...

    I was born and raised in Tucson. I now live in Phoenix. I would say to steer clear of Kino. Nothing but troubble out there. Plus it is on the south-side. Univ. Med. is supposed to be good, as well as Tucson Med Center. I had m y daughter @ TMC, it wa...
  15. Navapache???

    has anyone worked in show low? i've heard it's a great place to work, but have heard horrible things from patients. do you just never hear " i loved being at that hospital"? i love the white mountains, and miss the pine trees.
  16. Navapache???

    I am a student in Phoenix @ PVCC, but before I lived here, I was 20 miles east of Snowflake, near Concho. I lived on the west side of Mesa Redando, if you know where that is. It is way behind Show Low Heights, in the middle of B.F.E. My ex is still o...
  17. moving to arizona from UK

    Just a little F.Y.I. for you. Bullhead City gets hotter than Phoenix, and because it is next to the river, it is humid as #$@*!!! Drug use is real high there also. It's a good place to go if your bartending, but I would look into it more before movin...
  18. Drowning in BIO 202..What to do???

    I use the web site printed in the intro of my text books. They usually have quizes, visuals, and interactive learning tools. A lot of this stuff I find boring, so these tools help me. Goog Luck!
  19. Retaking classes

    I started pre-req's @ PVCC this semester. My understanding is that when you take a class over again, your second try cancells out your first. My bio partner is taking chem for the second time because she got a "D". The second time grade will go on he...

  21. Eager to get to Tucson

    just a fair warning, bull head city is hot and very [color=olive]humid! i have never lived there, but have freinds who did. summer really is bad there, you need a car with good a.c. the cool part though, is you a hop, skip, and a jump away from laugh...
  22. After fin-aide and loans I still don't have enough to pay for day-care. I went to the fin-aide office at my college to ask for more help. Basically I don't qualify for schollarships this semester because my last g.p.a was in high-scool and I was a D ...

  25. Bee sting advice

    Benadryl is a good idea, I don't know that more than one epi-pen is necessary though. I have one, and luckily never had to use it (knock on wood...). I was stung as a child with no reaction, and a few more times in pre-teen to teens, each time more s...
