  1. Any GCC Students?

    PhoenixGirl replied to IrishItalianRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    That's happened to me before. I then go to the bookstore, see the book, copy ISBN # off the back and order it off half.com. I usually save over $50/book this way. Usually more. I remember my micro...

  2. Any GCC Students?

    PhoenixGirl replied to IrishItalianRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Are the ISBN numbers listed on your book list? If so you can go to half.com and type in to search by ISBN number. The exact book/edition/author you need should come up with multiple places to buy...

    PhoenixGirl replied to PhoenixGirl's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for your response. Your right, it is good to retake the blood sugar. Just for piece of mind, if anything.

  10. Anyone work at Banner??

    PhoenixGirl replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Arizona Nursing

    All I know is hearsay. I hear new grad pay in phx is $19-21. I know for lpns they start at 11.50 for externs and 13.50 for licensed. Lu Ann will probably know more, she's secured a job there! I have...

    PhoenixGirl replied to Ariel70113's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The HCC class is the health care core curriculum. They make you take these classes (it lasts 6w at most schools i think but you can also do it online at Rio) as sort of an intro to the healthcare...

  18. Should I volunteer?

    PhoenixGirl replied to akmegs2's topic in Arizona Nursing

    My vote is also for CNA. You can find a facility that will train you for free and work there. It teaches you basic body mechanics, basic patient care, and you get hands on experience. Plus, you get...
