  2. looking to relocate

    Five openings in Tucson AZ! I came in with nearly a year of med. fragile HH and adult med prior. If interested, PM me ? GREAT UNIT to work on, with a huge team effort. We are never alone, teaching hospital and always someone to lend a hand/help out. ...
  3. Relocating to Arizona

    Banner UMC Tucson Main campus has med surg spots open. I'm not sure about low census but it is usually far and few between in Med surg. I do know that they are actively recruiting nurses for the unit currently. I'll PM you the other info.
  4. Relocating to Arizona

    I work for Banner in Tucson. It's a large system, with many options for locations in the Phoenix area as well as two in Tucson. Honor health has a presence in Phoenix as well as N. AZ. I'm happy at Banner. Benefits are a little pricy but a great cove...
  5. Banner New Grad Experience

    You should get a call from a recruiter as the next step. I was just offered and accepted a position at Banner UMC (Tucson). I applied to west valley, east valley and tucson. My recruiter handled some Phx area hospitals and tucson as well. They'll ask...
  6. New Grad NICU Support Thread

    I'm so glad someone kicked up this thread from the trenches ?! I start in the nicu in a few weeks! Level III I can't wait! Graduated in May and have worked in tele/ortho and Pediatric HH (Medically fragile). NICU was always my end goal so I'm beyond...
  7. Absolutely terrified

    FINISH WHAT YOU STARTED!!! There are so many areas of nursing that don't involve being on the floor with multiple patients at a time. Home health, hospice, private duty, clinic, insurance companies. Find an aspect of nursing that you are more comfor...
  8. Does AZ always pay lower than states with unions?

    Yep. Cost of living is definitely a factor. I don't blame you for wanting to get out of the grey gloom! Love Oregon but it's too rainy for me long term.
  9. Arizona Opportunities

    Not sure if you're considering outside of the Phx metro area, but if you love the outdoors and fishing, consider Lake Havasu City. Level III trauma center, and 45 miles of lake front plus the colorado river on either end. Hiking, biking, offroading, ...
  10. Lake Havasu City, AZ

    I actually start there in July, but already moved over from NM right after graduation earlier this month. Everyone I've met is really friendly, the ER is being redone completely, and the nurses I've spoken with say they're workload is heavy during sn...
  11. Guidance and insight moving from AZ to OR with young family

    I'm a new grad (soon to be) that has applied to Klamath Falls (Sky Lake Medical Center). We've spent a lot of time in the area. Sunny for Oregon, small town atmosphere, but still accessible. Cost of living is lower than the coastal cities, so that is...
  12. Dell Children's Nurse Residency July 2018

    I'm driving over from NM. Leaving tomorrow after class! Which session are you going to? Good luck!
  13. Resume review, please?

    Take off the References Available line. It's no longer considered necessary from what I've read. As a new grad, they'll automatically ask for letters, usually later in the process.
  14. Resume Feedback PLEASE

    I'm in the same resume boat at the moment, so i'm not much help probably. Just wanted to say that I jumped from photography (now stress-relief) to Nursing, and volunteered with NILMDTS too! Good luck!

  17. residency for associates nurse

    I'm graduating with my ADN in May. I already have a list of "residencies" that accept ADN's longer than I can count, all over the country! Feel free to PM me if you like.
  18. Why do you visit allnurses.com?

    To learn new things, ask questions and get NO ******** answers from those in the field. I'm a 2nd yr student, 45 and while I LOVE this field, I want to be REALISTIC about my expectations haha.
  19. 42 Years Old - Is it too late to become a nurse?

    My daughter is 13 and will be a high school freshman in the fall. She is also taking as many college classes as she can (dual and concurrent). She wants to graduate with an assoc. of science and enter nursing school as a HS senior. I'm currently a st...

  21. Anyone else a planner nerd?

    I'm a new planner convert, and I absolutely ADORE my StraightANursingStudent (Etsy) planner. It was only $10 for the file and then I just printed it on heavyweight paper (light almost cardstock) and put it in a 3 ring binder. I was going to print it...
  22. Quitting Nursing School

    I can't tell you whether to stay, or quit, but i will say that there are SO MANY avenues in Nursing that do not involve direct patient care. You could fall into one of those career paths. Insurance companies, education, telenursing etc. I'd take a ...
  23. Planners

    I bought the StraightANursingStudent. com planner on Etsy and am having it printed/bound. Love the way it's laid out, and it has really great nursing student reviews.
  24. Failed Nursing School

    You're 22 years old. I'm lost as to why you are giving up on a career in Nursing so quickly. I'm 44. I had to drop out of a private program in FL and move to NM due to a family medical emergency. I would have graduated in a week. However, I am rest...
  25. Hi everyone. I know this corner is PRETTY quiet, but i'm applying to WNMU's ADN program for fall, and wondering if there are any other schools in the state that I can apply to w/ the same pre reqs. I'm pretty sure i'll get in, but am the type that ne...
