    TerreP replied to PaSsIoN_4_NuRsInG's topic in Arizona Nursing

    TerreP replied to anouk's topic in General Nursing

    I started working on my prereqs when I was 45...I'm now 48 and start the nursing program in January. So no, you are far from too old!!!! Age is a number, and since we all live longer and have to...

  6. Hospital Reputations in Phoenix

    TerreP replied to Sunlover's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I have heard too many bad stories about Maryvale (Scaryvale) to ever work there! I won't say what I've heard due to confidentiality, but Maryvale is at the bottom of my list!!!! I haven't heard...

    TerreP replied to Sunlover's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I work with Jason (Dr. Knight) a LOT!!! He's a good guy! Lucille is a sweetie...very funny...but very demanding! Told me my first night in ER that she expects the copier to be full when she comes...

  8. Hospital Reputations in Phoenix

    TerreP replied to Sunlover's topic in Arizona Nursing

    If you're ever working at County through agency (I don't know if you ever work nights), go through ER and see if Terre is listed on the assignment board as the HUC. If so, come and say hi! Did you...

  9. Hospital Reputations in Phoenix

    TerreP replied to Sunlover's topic in Arizona Nursing

    They are all there still! Most of those nurses work day shift, and since I work nights, I don't work with them much, but I know all of them and they are great people. Dr. Blackburn is a hoot!!!! I...

  11. *** A&P II Winter 2006 Club ***

    TerreP replied to kayel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Haven't had time to post since school started! I just finished my 2nd week of A&P2. We are doing the endocrine system, and it's pretty interesting, other than trying to memorize all the...

  12. *** A&P II Winter 2006 Club ***

    TerreP replied to kayel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A couple of the nurses I work with had a great suggestion that I thought I would share. They suggested getting a digital voice recorder to record all the lectures. I found one on eBay for $40, and...

  13. *** A&P II Winter 2006 Club ***

    TerreP replied to kayel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My first day is Jan. 17th, both lecture and lab, and I am actually anxious to get started!!! Not that I'm not enjoying the break, but I am ready to get started again. (Actually, I'm ready to be...

  14. *** A&P II Winter 2006 Club ***

    TerreP replied to kayel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Using the Tortora one too, but it's the 11th edition. For A&P1, we used the 10th, so I had to buy the new book. Found it on eBay for about $30 less than at the school bookstore though, which...

  15. Lpn to Rn program Pima Medical Institute

    TerreP replied to kris19620's topic in Arizona Nursing

  16. *** A&P II Winter 2006 Club ***

    TerreP replied to kayel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank God they're over!!!! For the next month, I am not thinking about school (well, gonna try anyway!), then on to A&P 2.

  17. Are LPN's/LVN's real nurses?

    TerreP replied to Faeriewand's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I agree...I know the LPN's I work with are capable of doing the job!!! It's just the hospital "scope of practice" thing that prevents it. Same with me...I am an EMT-B, but work as a health unit...

  18. Are LPN's/LVN's real nurses?

    TerreP replied to Faeriewand's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Well, there are some things that an RN does that an LPN doesn't, at least in the hospital I work in. LPN's can't push narcotics, and they must have an RN take or sign off on their telephone orders,...

  19. *** A&P II Winter 2006 Club ***

    TerreP replied to kayel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's been 3 semesters for me since I took A&P 1 (not by choice...the A&P 2 class fills up FAST!!!) But since it's the only science I am taking, I'm hoping that I will do fine with it. I was...

  21. Patho going away next semester?

    TerreP replied to boomerfriend's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hi Mary, I only have two prereqs left, A&P 2 and Micro (since they are taking out the CNA requirement.) That's why I am in such a dilemma. If I take them both this semester and pass, I'm done...

  22. Patho going away next semester?

    TerreP replied to boomerfriend's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I wasn't able to get into McGaughey's class (It filled up fast! I think everyone wants to get into her class! I was there an hour and a half before registration started, and still didn't get into...

  23. Patho going away next semester?

    TerreP replied to boomerfriend's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Actually, I wanted to take one of the classes online through Rio, or both...but because I have financial aid through MCC, they said I couldn't do it without paying for it myself, and I don't have the...

  24. Patho going away next semester?

    TerreP replied to boomerfriend's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I am finishing my prereqs next semester, I think. (I am registered for A&P 2 and micro in the spring, but am having second thoughts about taking the two together, since I have found out a little...

  25. Patho going away next semester?

    TerreP replied to boomerfriend's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I took ENG102 online, and as long as you have the discipline, plus the essay writing ability, it's a good way to do it. I believe we wrote 5 essays over the entire semester, you can do it on your own...
