  1. PCT Training HELP

    rachaelofcourse replied to annejackson87's topic in Arizona Nursing

    A PCT/PCA can draw blood/start IVs, start and D/C foley caths. When I was a PCA, we could draw blood and D/C foleys. CNA's can't do any of that stuff, but for Banner at least, everyone is getting...

  2. Chandler-Gilbert On Probation

    rachaelofcourse replied to Lavender111's topic in Arizona Nursing

    It shouldn't worry you too much, because as I previously stated, this is a CG nursing program administration problem, not a MCCD problem. I just graduated from the program at GW and all of the...

  3. PCT Training HELP

    rachaelofcourse replied to annejackson87's topic in Arizona Nursing

    In the Banner system, a PCT course won't help. If you have your CNA license, they will hire you and train you themselves. I wouldn't waste the money, especially not to the tune of

    I wouldn't say the program itself is bad, it just seems like their administration needs

    rachaelofcourse replied to Lavender111's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Only if you're considering CGCC. OP, I would consider attending one of the other college's until CG can get their program back in good shape. I went to GW and had no issues at all with any of

    rachaelofcourse replied to Darveaux5's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I landed my dream job in the Medical ICU. I already worked at the hospital as a PCA so that made it

    I felt it was fair. Some instructors were tougher than others, but for the most part it's

  10. CEP school choices?

    rachaelofcourse replied to Darveaux5's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I finished the ADN portion early because my school offered block 4 over the summer. I have graduated and passed NCLEX :) now I just have the rest of my BSN with

  11. CEP school choices?

    rachaelofcourse replied to Darveaux5's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm just going to ditto everything AZBlueBell said. I'm happy to have finished the RN program a semester early, and UIU was willing to let me push one course back to focus on the end of block 4/NCLEX....

  12. Banner New Grad Experience

    rachaelofcourse replied to bex3's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Technically, they cannot float you at all for the first year, unless you go to core staff after 6 months. Once you're core staff, they can do whatever. If you choose to stay BSS for that entire year,...

  13. NAU vs. ASU RN to BSN

    rachaelofcourse replied to Kssable's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I don't think she was referring to CEP. OP, to my knowledge, NAU is a decent amount cheaper than ASU. I have no knowledge of legit numbers

  14. Banner New Grad Experience

    rachaelofcourse replied to bex3's topic in Arizona Nursing

    They didn't make me sign a contract, just my offer letter. That's weird. I was told I could go to a core staff position after 6 months, and if I wanted a different facility I would have to wait 12...

    Yes, Banner's ratios are the same in all

  17. Block 4 Resources

    rachaelofcourse replied to rachaelofcourse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    It depends on how quick the school is to send the stuff to the board! We've been told if we don't have our ATT within 2 weeks to contact the school and make sure that the paperwork was sent. Once you...

    It was intense, but good! Now it's done and I just wait to take NCLEX!

  20. Maricopa nursing next block 1 Spring 2018

    rachaelofcourse replied to Gmac12's topic in Arizona Nursing

    There is. Since you were denied entry for CEP seemingly for that Block 1 start date (Spring '18), you might not be eligible to start that semester at all. An advisor would be your best bet to answer...

  23. ASU Transfer Hopeful

    rachaelofcourse replied to Lavender111's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Preceptorship is a requirement from the Board of Nursing. You have to have it, or you can't license as an RN. The CC's have plenty of placement - trust

    Employers don't really care where you got your BSN from. Don't spend the extra money for the name unless you really want

    I work for Banner, and as long as your BSN is in progress, they'll hire you. Don't stress too
