  2. how to sign your name as a nursing student

    rachaelofcourse replied to Kaylapppp's topic in Arizona Nursing

    When you are a student nurse, I was taught to sign with "SRN" got student RN. FWIW, I only sign my name with RN when I'm at work, not in any other

    rachaelofcourse replied to bex3's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I work night shift. I take a nap from noon-4 before work, go to work (coffee beforehand), and come home and sleep. I always make sure that I have at least 2 nights together, so that I'm not having to...

    Congrats, I did all that (save for inserting foleys) as a PCA. While it's great that you had PCT experience, remember that the things PCTs do you will be responsible for as an RN as well. As an ICU...

  9. PCT Training HELP

    rachaelofcourse replied to annejackson87's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I would advise you to read the AZ BON advisory opinion on PCTs and their scope of practice. Also, what PCTs can do is very hospital specific, so to generalize and say PCTs can do more is not always...

  10. Current Banner Employees

    rachaelofcourse replied to KittenEars's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I am a new grad! And yes, ED tends to be more difficult to get into than ICU. ED techs are predominately EMTs, so they do more skills type things. It's kind of the same thing as a new grad; ICU is a...

    rachaelofcourse replied to KittenEars's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hi! I work for Banner as an ICU RN. I hope I can answer your questions. 1. They offer tuition reimbursement after 6 months of employment, but it is hard to come by. 2. We do use self-scheduling, but...

  12. Maricopa Book Requirements Etc.

    rachaelofcourse replied to Apple-Core's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hi! I have no advice on Course-Point or the books, because when I was in the program, we used Evolve/Elsevier. The colleges do not all use the same books; I know MCC used different books than we did...

    rachaelofcourse replied to bex3's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I have not, but that doesn't mean it's not possible. If you get an interview (highly probable), tell the recruiter you have a strong interest in OR. They try and do their best to place in

    rachaelofcourse replied to BSN95's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hello! Yes, I love it! All of the training is a little overwhelming, but it's great so far. I would not recommend the ICU as your first job unless you have acute care experience

  19. Moving to PHX, Hospitals/Recommendations/Tips

    rachaelofcourse replied to BSN95's topic in Arizona Nursing

    PCH is very hard to get into and Mayo only accepts new grads twice a year - not sure when though. Also, I don't believe the Mayo out here has Peds, so if that's your area of interest, I wouldn't look...

  20. Banner New Grad Experience

    rachaelofcourse replied to bex3's topic in Arizona Nursing

    They hire in all areas if there is availability. Given that Med/Surg and PCU make up the majority of hospitals, this is where there is the most need. I am in ICU, a friend is in ED, and another friend...
