    CrazyPremed replied to LovesDisney's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    CrazyPremed replied to LovesDisney's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Um, MBA, Do you not realize that you aren't the only person who has taken out college loans and paid them back? No, you don't get it. It will not mean an increase in salary (despite promotional...

  4. Scottsdale Healthcare

    CrazyPremed replied to nickj88's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Um, I don't know about Shea, but I do know that they don't take new grads at Osborn. In the past I think they may have, but they definitely don't now. Seriously, if I were a new grad I wouldn't try to...

  5. Why do people drop out of AZ nursing schools?

    CrazyPremed replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Arizona Nursing

  7. Why not get FNP & ACNP at same time???

    CrazyPremed replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  8. What do I do? (long)

    CrazyPremed replied to ChrgRN's topic in General Nursing

  9. Which path would you take to BSN?

    CrazyPremed replied to LovesDisney's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So I think that we agree that nursing - although not as financially lucrative as some would hope - would mean an increase in pay for many of us. This takes us back to the point of nursing school being...

  13. Why not get FNP & ACNP at same time???

    CrazyPremed replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Did you have to obtain a certificate/take extra classes in OB? I know of Adult/FNP/PNP/Acute care, but I haven't seen an OB/GYN certificate or program in the schools in my area. Is it considered part...

  23. "Male Problems" while nursing female

    CrazyPremed replied to Pat_Pat RN's topic in Men in Nursing
