    Hoozdo replied to aawilwcb's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I took it there about 7 years ago. The course work was easy and not too time consuming. I hardly remember what the class consisted of except to learn each vitamin component is and what it does. You...

    Work Injury

    Hoozdo replied to 2BSure's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on what state you live in. Workman's Comp is not federally mandated, there are different state laws on it. I would never report a WC injury after going through what happened to me in my...

    Nursing Shortage

    Hoozdo replied to ruthere04976's topic in General Nursing

    Not in my opinion. In my area of the country, (southwestern), there are a moderate number of job listings. However, when you go to interview you find you are competing against 10 to 15 other...

    Hoozdo replied to sweetsmuckers's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I am using the Palm Centro. I like it. One of the more important aspects to me was I wanted the Palm software. I was going to get an Iphone until I read what temperature range it worked in. I believe...

    Hoozdo replied to ArizonaRN2005's topic in Agency Nurses

    I always wear cargo pants and never carry anything into work. Keys in right front pocket. Drivers license and money in back pocket. Other pockets for pens, scissors, hemostats, calipers, etc. The only...

    Relocating to Phoenix..is ANYONE hiring???

    Hoozdo replied to sample24's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Try Banner Professional Registry or Abrazo Flex Pool. These are the only jobs that are gung ho hiring. I guess the hospitals make out by not having to pay benefits and not having outside registry work...

    Do you know if any hospitals in Phoenix are hiring new grads???

    Hoozdo replied to geisha70's topic in Arizona Nursing

    There is no shortage for experienced nurses either, sorry to tell you. Yes, it most definitely is a result of the bad economy. It will blow over, but who knows

    Job search FRUSTRATING (and I'm not a new grad)

    Hoozdo replied to sl4shd0t's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Go through every single job, and if it doesn't say "unable to accept new grads", then apply. Once you fill out an application, it is very easy to apply for other jobs at Banner. Just a few clicks....

    Try applying for the Abrazo flexpool or the Banner Professional Registry. I have found these are the only two jobs that will call you back quickly after you apply. The regular Banner recruiters take...

    Advantage for Speaking Spanish?

    Hoozdo replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I say, go ahead and take Spanish. I speak "poquito", barely enough to get by. If you search for jobs on the Maricopa County Hospital website all of the jobs say "bilingual preferred". I know you will...

    Check Out This Doc

    Hoozdo replied to Vito Andolini's topic in General Nursing

    It depends what the doc's specialty is. If he is a pain management Dr. - then I certainly would walk. If he is a neurologist, then I would also switch doctors. If he is an orthopedic surgeon, I might...
