  1. Arizona, California, Texas?

    Calzonan RN replied to MSUnurse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Actually I think Texas doesn't have state income tax, so even if the property taxes are high (and actually AZ property taxes are pretty high too) than that would offset it. My vote would be for Texas...

  2. Perioperative programs around Denver

    Calzonan RN replied to Calzonan RN's topic in Colorado Nursing

    THANKS!! I will definitely have to check this out further! Sounds like a great program, is it a good hospital to work for?

  3. Perioperative programs around Denver

    Calzonan RN replied to Calzonan RN's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Thanks for your response. It's looking more like I"m probably going to have to stick around AZ for a while after I graduate. It just doesn't seem like there're the opportunities for new grads in...

  4. Best Hospital??

    Calzonan RN replied to helpinghands's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm not an RN yet (still in NS) but I know several people who are. I have a friend who works at Chandler Regional and she said the benefits are great. If she comes in on her dayoff she gets double...

  5. Mercy Gilbert Medical Center

    Calzonan RN replied to RN2B07's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Well I guess my other post got lost in webspace. Anyway, I"ve heard that a lot of the people that are going to be working at Mercy when it opens, are working at Chandler Regional right now. They did...

  6. Ethel Bauer School of Nursing Phoenix

    Calzonan RN replied to rcidro's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Why not call ASU and see if they accept the transfer credits? I know Pima also started an RN program, but it was pretty unreasonable and they accepted basically no credits from other schools. So you...

  7. Arizona, California, Texas?

    Calzonan RN replied to MSUnurse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I have a friend who is a new grad here in AZ and she's making around $24/hr. Housing used to be reasonable but during the last year housing prices have increased by 50%. I think the median is...

  8. Mccd Nursing application Placement number

    Calzonan RN replied to Pkkostura's topic in Arizona Nursing

    It's actually pretty easy to figure out if you know the time that they started issuing stamps. For example, my stamp was 8:02:21 date was something like 6/26, the first day of the application week,...

  9. NURSING SCHOOL ...is... whats the word im looking for

    Calzonan RN replied to IrishItalianRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Mandy- I hope the rest of your week went better. Just remember that you only have to get through, one block at a time, and it doesn't matter what grades you get, as long as you pass. I know you guys...

  10. NURSING SCHOOL ...is... whats the word im looking for

    Calzonan RN replied to IrishItalianRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm very fortunate to have an awesome teacher for my first block, I think that's made all the difference. So far I've done pretty well on all my tests, I have two tomorrow so we'll see if that...

  11. Pharmacology

    Calzonan RN replied to Future_Nurse_Natalie's topic in General Students

    I've found through all my pre-req's that the best way for me to learn is to study and then use flashcards WITH a friend. I have a good friend and we've taken all our pre-req's together and would get...

  12. Off topic: How do you keep house?

    Calzonan RN replied to S.N. Visit's topic in General Students

    I'm lol about this site. My dh and I have been fighting over this for 13 years. When we got married I had on dd and he had a dd and a ds. Before we were married my house was reasonably clean, I...

  13. Mercy Gilbert Medical Center

    Calzonan RN replied to RN2B07's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You're right, online it is all or nothing. I took most of my pre-req's online, including Bio201/202. The class at GCC is actually during the day. On Friday I go from 9-12 and on Saturday I'm in...

  14. Mercy Gilbert Medical Center

    Calzonan RN replied to RN2B07's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm at Lindsay and RAy, not too far away from Mercy. Have you heard about the Glendale weekend program? Rio is a great alternative for people working, but if you want or need an instructor to fill...

  15. Mercy Gilbert Medical Center

    Calzonan RN replied to RN2B07's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hey Gilbertdaddy where are you at? That hospital is about 2-3 miles from my house and I'd love to work there too, once it opens. I sure hope it doesn't end up to be like Banner Desert, at least not...

  16. AZ ADN students

    Calzonan RN replied to cardiacRN2006's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I was told, when they first considered getting rid of CNA, that it was because people who wanted to get training to become a CNA were not able to because of the long wait thanks to the pre-req...

  17. Mercy Gilbert Medical Center

    Calzonan RN replied to RN2B07's topic in Arizona Nursing

    If that's the CHW hospital, then it's not opening until at the very earliest, June. I have a friend who works in NICU at Chandler Regional (CHW) and just asked her the other night 'cause I too...

  18. PLEASE HELP ME CHOOSE, UMC, TMC, or Carondolet...

    Calzonan RN replied to dande's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm not familiar with the hospitals, but part of your question caught my eye. Does Tucson have a program where you can become an RN in a year?? Have you already completed all of your pre-req's?...

  19. Has anyone ever encountered this?

    Calzonan RN replied to smurfy's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm so sorry to hear this is happening to you, I know how hard that is. Do any of these people live near you? Maybe you could see about forming a study group with some people near you and that will...

  20. AZ ADN students

    Calzonan RN replied to cardiacRN2006's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I completely agree with you guys. I was told by my teacher the other day that in the full-time program 11 people have already dropped out!!! This is the third week of school!!! It makes me so mad...

  21. Any GCC Students?

    Calzonan RN replied to IrishItalianRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I almost missed the abducted thumb too. I abducted it a little later than she preferred, it's amazing how hard such a simple thing can seem :rotfl: . I'm glad you're sticking with the program, is it...

  22. Any GCC Students?

    Calzonan RN replied to IrishItalianRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Thrashej, Yes, we had sterile glove check off. Pretty easy. This week we have passing meds. I'm still trying to figure out everything she needs to know, and trying to get familiar with Davis DG....

  23. Any GCC Students?

    Calzonan RN replied to IrishItalianRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Wow, EVERYBODY on this board has disappeared!! I hope everyone at GCC (and all other new students) are doing well. We took our pharm and process tests this week, they weren't as bad as I thought...

  24. Anyone familiar with Mesa General?

    Calzonan RN replied to JoMom4's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Are you going to be working 7AM to 7PM or the other way around. Actually, it's almost always rush hour traffic coming and going to Queen Creek. I'm not sure if you've ever been there, but it's not...

  25. AZ ADN students

    Calzonan RN replied to cardiacRN2006's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm in block I of the nursing program at Glendale CC. All of the Maricopa CC's have the same pre-req's and requirements for nursing school. When I applied we needed Eng 101, Psych, Math (not sure...
