  1. glendale community college

    Calzonan RN replied to Nurmom86's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm already in the program at GCC, I graduate in December. Did you only have GCC down as a choice? The more choices you put down the better chance you have of getting placed. I know there's a long...

  2. glendale community college

    Calzonan RN replied to Nurmom86's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Were you ever taken out of provisional status? You can check and see. If you weren't that might be why you didn't get placed. If you only picked one school you may not have been placed, plus the...

  5. Anybody know about MGA health care??

    Calzonan RN replied to arin9020's topic in Arizona Nursing

    They are basically a 'temp' agency. You tell them when you are available and they try and find you jobs those days. I worked for them as a CNA, but the problem was I wasn't experienced, I'd just...

  6. school bookstore or barnes and noble

    Calzonan RN replied to futureaznurse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    If you can't find them on the above addresses, then definitely Barnes and Noble is the best deal. I bought all my books from B&N and with my membership saved 10%, PLUS there was no tax, PLUS I...

  7. Has anyone heard of Ethel Bauer School of Nursing?

    Calzonan RN replied to N2lifeRU's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You do not need a BSN to specialize in different fields. I'm in block 3 of an ADN and am working as an extern in L&D. I will be able to work there when I finish school. I'll work as an Extern 2...

    Calzonan RN replied to ljb's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I work in a smaller hospital in a big city, as an extern. I know our RN's do ferning, FSE's, VE's, IUPC's etc. I had three baby's in two other hospitals in town and the nurses did everything in...

  10. HELP!!! TMC vs. St. Joseph's Hospital ???

    Calzonan RN replied to miko626's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I thought St. Joes was part of the Catholic Healthcare West system which includes Chandler Regional and Mercy Gilbert. Either way, it's a great hospital to work at. I haven't started yet (I start...

  12. Summer classes at GCC

    Calzonan RN replied to Glina's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Glina- If you're talking about summer semester II, Bio201 being full, and you really want to get in that class (to save yourself a semester) I may have a solution. Usually those classes have wait...

  13. Average GPA

    Calzonan RN replied to Glina's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Anytime!! I'm really glad I didn't know what it would take either, or I may not have gone into nursing. I already had a BS degree when I started and figured, hey, nursing school is only two...

  14. Average GPA

    Calzonan RN replied to Glina's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Are you looking at ADN programs or BSN programs? Thing is, you need get on the waitlist to wait to start the ADN programs. While ADN programs give you the ability to get accepted to the nursing...

    Calzonan RN replied to nad1914's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm doing my psych rotation for NS school right now at Banner Thunderbird. They seem to have a really good psych program and the nurses all seem to enjoy working there. It's a teaching hospital too,...

  16. 2006 pass scores are out *and* broken down by college

    Calzonan RN replied to AZmom's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I've also heard that a lot of LPN's don't do well when re-entering into an RN program because they've lost the study habits necessary to be successful. A couple of our students wanted to drop out at...

  17. Summer classes at GCC

    Calzonan RN replied to Glina's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Online classes are different, I'm not sure if I'd say harder though. You have to be extremely self-motivated. It's really hard to study at home when you have so many distractions. Luckily before I...

  18. Summer classes at GCC

    Calzonan RN replied to Glina's topic in Arizona Nursing

    First of all, all of those classes have pre-req's, have you taken the pre-req's for them? Bio 201 and Bio 205 have a pre-req bio class, so that may not be an option for you anyway. I would NOT take...

  19. asu or mcc ?

    Calzonan RN replied to sealt73's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Or why not get your ASN through the CC's and then let the hospital you work at pay for your BSN? A lot of the hospitals have an RN-BSN program on site and they'll pay for your classes. This way you...

  20. Do You Have Any Favorite OB Myths?

    Calzonan RN replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I actually had a CRNA say the other night that because the woman in labor was a redhead she shouldn't get certain medications (can't remember the name of the med) because she was more likely to have...

  22. Who's failing block I???

    Calzonan RN replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Arizona Nursing

    We just took our finals and lost three more people. So from the 30 of us that started, there's still 16 of us left, we're in block 3. It's pretty sad because a lot of the people that we lost were...

  23. Who's failing block I???

    Calzonan RN replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm not failing block III (TG), but we've lost several people. Out of 28 of us, 5 failed the math test and several others are now failing Process. Only good news from this semester is that several...

  24. Algebra anyone??

    Calzonan RN replied to sassiebaz's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I would also suggest hiring a tutor. For some reason Algebra was never my strongpoint either, but I aced calculus, go figure. I'm not sure if I had a bad teacher or what, but when you get into NS...

  25. overtime incentives

    Calzonan RN replied to wnydapoo's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The freeway does extend that way, but it's tricky, it's not connected from eastbound 60 going south on 202 (but should be soon). You can still get on from a side street though. My friend does work in...
