  2. Having a strong stomach

    PhoenixGirl replied to nev's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey there- I also have a weak stomach, for me it's when it comes to cleaning up poop or puke. (But I get a lot of practice on my kids:rotfl: ) The thing that has helped me is to look at each situation...

  3. bagels, doughnuts or other?

    PhoenixGirl replied to cicf2005's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone seems to want donuts at our clinicals too. I don't like them though. So my opinion, from someone who likes to eat healthy would be bagels and maybe some

    PhoenixGirl replied to pristy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in a CNA class currently, it's a prereq for my LPN program which I'm starting next month. My teacher is blunt with us so we know more about what to expect next week when we start clinicals. We are...

    PhoenixGirl replied to ~Kitty~'s topic in General Nursing

  7. Rio Salado Community College

    PhoenixGirl replied to spudbunny's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I haven't looked into their nursing program, but I did most of my prereqs there. I love Rio salado. They are so organized, and the lesson objectives teach right to the tests, IMO. I bet their nursing...

    PhoenixGirl replied to egul105's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    PhoenixGirl replied to Fun2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  11. Help! I am very dizzy

    PhoenixGirl replied to HarryPotter's topic in General Nursing

    I am not a regular in this forum, I usually just read the student boards. Are you female? If so, what age group? Only reason I ask is because my mother started having vertigo and then occasional...

  13. immunizations - close call for me!

    PhoenixGirl replied to Fun2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't have my records, but my school needed hard evidence of immunity. Which means either shot records, proof of illness, or titer. I had to get a titer as I had no proof (and they won't accept a...

  14. Medical Assistants

    PhoenixGirl replied to nrollins's topic in General Nursing

    ikwym about the long wait. Is your eventual goal RN? Because if so, there are going to have to be prereqs completed. I've been waiting for my LPN program since I signed up last summer, and in the...

  15. Medical Assistants

    PhoenixGirl replied to nrollins's topic in General Nursing

    You should become a CNA. I am in the process of doing it right now through my local CC, and then am continuing on in their nursing program. (for us the CNA is a prereq) The way I see it, MA school (at...

  16. So what's Tucson like as a place to live? Would you recommend?

    PhoenixGirl replied to klone's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I read the other posts, and I think everyone has different views. Those crime statistics are interesting. No, I would never live like in downtown Phoenix, or south Phoenix, but the outlying areas can...

  17. So what's Tucson like as a place to live? Would you recommend?

    PhoenixGirl replied to klone's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I think Tucson is like Phoenix but smaller and milder weather. It rains more though and has better monsoons in the summer. There are horrid parts and there are nice parts. I also like sabino canyon,...

  19. A&P 1: The Spring '05 Anatomy & Physiology Club

    PhoenixGirl replied to Fun2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Okay, on my quizzes I took yesterday the thing I seem to be having a problem with is identifying if the bone being showed is anatomically on the right or left side. Ugh! That is confusing. Anyone have...

  20. Uk Nurse Considering A Move To Arizona

    PhoenixGirl replied to madwife2002's topic in Arizona Nursing

    We moved to Phoenix almost 3 years ago. Phoenix is a fast growing city. The COL is pretty good right now. It is very hot here in the summertime though, plus we can get monsoons at the end of the...

  21. Any Community Colleges Near Gilbert, Tempe, Scottsdale, Mesa

    PhoenixGirl replied to nursemelanie's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Andrea, I see on the list of prereqs that "Higher Level math course" after Intermediate algebra is listed. That was not on my sheet (which is really old, from early last year). So that means we also...

    PhoenixGirl replied to mrs.henderson's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
