    Pima Medical Institute (PMI) Reputation

    OrganizedChaos replied to BigPimpin's topic in Arizona Nursing

    There's no need to go to a for-profit school. You might not get a worthwhile education & you are going to spend more money than you need to on an education. Community colleges or local...

    Pima Medical Institute (PMI) Reputation

    OrganizedChaos replied to BigPimpin's topic in Arizona Nursing

    If they have a bad reputation with their Ultrasound Techs, why would you continue at this school? A quick google search turns up unfavorable responses on PMI. They are also for-profit so why not apply...

    Nurses Eating Nursing Students

    OrganizedChaos replied to Cisabel's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It was not the floor nurse's fault in any way, shape or form. The students are guests at the hospital. The student is not paying the hospital to learn. If her CI didn't help the student get experience...

    LVN to RN via Excelsior or The College Network

    Does your community college offer pediatrics as a clinical?

    OrganizedChaos replied to pnpvirginia's topic in General Students

    I don't know if you're asking about LVN or RN. We covered peds in lecture but never clinical. I remember like it was yesterday our CI told us we would never have peds patients & not to help our...

    As a new grad, or nurse in general, are jobs abundant, or scarce where you live?

    OrganizedChaos replied to bear94's topic in General Nursing

    Southern Texas. I would say the bigger cities around me are more difficult for new grads to get jobs but in the outlying smaller towns it's easier. But a new grad won't necessarily get the job in the...

    LPNs in regards to L&D

    OrganizedChaos replied to ashleyv10613's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I saw a posting for a hospital here awhile back in Texas for a nurse in postpartum or mother/baby. It wasn't for L&D but still in the area. I don't know any hospital that would employ an LVN in...

    OrganizedChaos replied to Cisabel's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am curious too. How could any patient be the "worst" patient? From an "easy" patient to a "complicated" one, there is always something to learn. That is why you are in school. Even experienced...

    OrganizedChaos replied to Cisabel's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeah, that would go well. Whose job is it to teach? I'll give you a hint, it's not the nurses on the floor. It was not the nurse's job to make sure the student had something to do. If the CI couldn't...

    Not only was her first post self-centered, so were the rest of her posts. Also, she was extremely rude to any poster she replied to. So no, I can't give her a break. There is no reason to attack the...

    OrganizedChaos replied to Nurse_Tickles's topic in General Nursing

    Your LVN experience has little to nothing to do with your RN career. I can guarantee you that the reason you aren't getting a job in a different speciality is because you haven't held a job (as an RN)...

    There was no NETY. You are just being selfish & self centered. Also, since you are currently in school you cannot have BSN following your name since you haven't earned it. If these posts are any...
