  1. Mercy Gilbert Medical Center

    boomerfriend replied to RN2B07's topic in Arizona Nursing

    It's a beautiful hospital right nearby my niece's house. It's sorely needed in the east valley. I'm in nursing school right now so am not concerned with interviews yet. Can't help you there. Good...

  2. AZ ADN students

    boomerfriend replied to cardiacRN2006's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm with you Keli. I think that dropping the pre-req's is a bad idea. I, too, am in Block I but at Phoenix College. There are a lot of sharp people in my class however, there's those few that you...

  3. Anyone familiar with Mesa General?

    boomerfriend replied to JoMom4's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I ditto what Calzonan has said. There's much more choices for a place to live than Queen Creek. Besides, isn't Mesa General the one that is scheduled to close? Why not look into employment at an...

  4. Is 'E.R' the tv show accurate?

    boomerfriend replied to AussieJack's topic in Emergency

    I'm with you, Picky. We need a show from the nurses' perspective. Wouldn't it be nice to have a show that glamorized the life of a nurse :wink2: I used to be a tried and true ER fan till it got so...

  5. ECG Interpretation Made Incredibly Easy! Recommended?

    boomerfriend replied to MiaLyse's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Daytonite, I, too, want to thank you for the websites. I'm a beginning nursing student and you can bet that I'm bookmarking those sites for future reference!

  6. any concerns for older students?

    boomerfriend replied to Lesli61's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't like to refer to myself as "old" or "older".....we are "returning" students. You wouldn't believe how many students are my age or more. I know of one friend who is in his 50's and is doing...

  7. Net

    boomerfriend replied to PhoenixGirl's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I stressed about the NET test, bought the book, studied and still stressed. Passed it first try (good thing cuz it costs $25!) I was worried about not having a calculator and figured I'd be rushed...

  8. Started NS today!!!

    boomerfriend replied to Calzonan RN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hey all! We started our math refresher course (which is optional) today at PC. It was good to do some basic stuff to (as keli said...brush off the cobwebs) get the brain going again. We have...

  9. New New Requirements for the MCCD Nursing Program

    boomerfriend replied to mattsmom64's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hi Mary, Do you think that we'll still need to get the patho requirement satisfied if we're starting the program this semester. As you know, I've got AA done but not AB. I also realize that I'm...

  10. Gilbert

    boomerfriend replied to pittdidi's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Ditto what Keli said. I grew up here and Gilbert wasn't even a "town"....well it probably was but not so much as to speak of. Now it's a wonderful place to live. Gilbert is a suburb of Phoenix with...

  11. 29 openings left at Phoenix College

    boomerfriend replied to Calzonan RN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Geez, when did they implement this program? It sure would have been nice to have been told that this was in the works. I've already accepted a slot at PC in the traditional program but it would...

  12. Human Pathophys at RIO??

    boomerfriend replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Geez Keli, You must be a brain or something. I worked my butt off in AA of Patho this semester and pulled a B. Now I wish I'd have taken it at CGCC with you this past semester and had AA and AB...

  13. Medical Missions Trips?

    boomerfriend replied to newflgrad's topic in General Nursing

    Hey all, I just got back from my trip to Cambodia. We went with Mission of Mercy and a team of 18. It was a wonderful experience and plan to do it again. We saw over 1100 patients, gave meds,...

  14. Spring Starters

    boomerfriend replied to mattsmom64's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Cambodia was an experience I'll never forget. We'll have to get together before school starts for lunch.... Good luck to you too on your finals!

  15. VA Hospital in Phoenix

    boomerfriend posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Does anyone have any experience with the VA Hospital in Phoenix? I'm considering that as a possibility for employment once graduating from NS. A friend works there and loves it. My husband is...

  16. VA Hospital in Phoenix

    boomerfriend replied to boomerfriend's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hooray for you! See....things always work out. Let us know how you like it there! I'm anxious to know. By the way, thanks for the

  17. Spring Starters

    boomerfriend replied to mattsmom64's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hey all, I ordered all my books at B&N online and they came last week as well. I haven't even had time to look them over since I was out of town last week. Now I'm immersed in prep'n for...

  18. Patho going away next semester?

    boomerfriend replied to boomerfriend's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Kikkert is tough but there are those out there that actually like his teaching style. He came into our ethics class and gave a talk on cloning..he was really good. I just have a hard time taking him...

  19. Patho going away next semester?

    boomerfriend posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Has anyone heard the latest on Pathophysiology not being required as of Spring 2006? I know they were talking about doing away with it. I got a call from my advisor and she recommended that I don't...

  20. Spring Starters

    boomerfriend replied to mattsmom64's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Gosh darn it Mary! Would you stop giving out such good advice! I have the Sprague(?) and now am re-thinking that decision. Perhaps I can conveniently forget it on my trip? My hearing isn't what it...

  21. Patho going away next semester?

    boomerfriend replied to boomerfriend's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I took BIO 202 and Micro together at MCC and it's doable. Are you registered for them yet? If so, who do you have? If you have McGaughey for 202 you've got it made. If you have Kikkert for Micro,...

  22. Spring Starters

    boomerfriend replied to mattsmom64's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Mary, I borrowed the Micro book from a friend and wished I could have referred back to it once or twice. However, I researched what I needed either in my A&P book or online. I have my old MAT...

  23. Spring Starters

    boomerfriend replied to mattsmom64's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Our NS start in January and August--Spring/Fall respectively. Hey, what can you expect, this is Arizona...January IS spring to us! Did you say it right....January of '09? That's three years from...

  24. Patho going away next semester?

    boomerfriend replied to boomerfriend's topic in Arizona Nursing

    TerreP, Thanks for the advice. I am not concerned about getting that english class finished. Heck, they even offer it over the winter intersession--can be done with it in, what, two weeks? For what...

  25. Spring Starters

    boomerfriend replied to mattsmom64's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hi Mary, Count me in as one that's starting at PC in the spring. There's got to be more people out there that got into the spring class....where are you?? I want to meet everyone that's going to be...
