  1. Should I Switch?

    AZBlueBell replied to CookiesOrCreme's topic in Arizona Nursing

    You do have to be able to handle those things, but it also does come with time. I remember being in block 1 and seeing some really nasty pressure ulcers in the book thinking to myself "oh my god, if I...

  2. CEP school choices?

    AZBlueBell replied to Darveaux5's topic in Arizona Nursing

    It will go faster than you imagine! I can't believe I'm in block 4 already. I'm most definitely going to look for jobs after graduating, also know that UIU recommends we don't get a job until we're...

  3. CEP school choices?

    AZBlueBell replied to Darveaux5's topic in Arizona Nursing

    So I'm in block 4 and I'm with UIU. When I applied the only choices were NAU (I didn't have the pre-reqs for) ASU (expensive) and UIU. They have, obviously, added more schools since then. I chose UIU...

  4. Nurse-to-patient ratio in AZ???

    AZBlueBell replied to Queen2u's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I know Banner is usually 3-4 couplets/nurse. I'm not sure about other hospitals but would imagine it's

  5. Scottsdale CC Block 2 Topics

    AZBlueBell replied to yestosuccess's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Not from SCC but block 2 will cover cardiac, operative, fluid and electrolytes, acid base, and psych. Good luck

  6. Block 4 Resources

    AZBlueBell replied to rachaelofcourse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Nice, get it done! Will be a busy summer for you, but definitely worth it

  7. Block 4 Resources

    AZBlueBell replied to rachaelofcourse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    No resources but I wanted to say good luck! I really considered going for block 4 at GW this summer too. But ultimately, decided against it. How awesome to be done that much sooner though :) are you...

  8. 2-Step Test

    AZBlueBell replied to NarrowBoat's topic in Arizona Nursing

    If you have a primary care dr, they should be able to do it/order it for you. My PCP has a lab in house, I told her I needed the 2 step TB for school and that was

  9. Estrella Mountain Community College Nursing Program

    AZBlueBell replied to az_nrsg08's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The block 1 & 2 instructors have changed recently. The block 1 instructor right now taught us block 2 last semester and I think she was great. I wish we had her for block 1, I feel our foundation...

  10. New Grad RN programs in Arizona

    AZBlueBell replied to amazed's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Well this is really cool to hear! That is not at all like what I have heard from other new grads hired at banner. Thanks

  11. New Grad RN programs in Arizona

    AZBlueBell replied to amazed's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The hospitals will hire new grads, but as far as actual new grad programs I am only aware of Mayo and Phoenix Children's offering this. Banner and Abrazo will train new grads longer than other new...

  12. Mayo Student Nurse Externship

    AZBlueBell replied to AZBlueBell's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Thank you! I sent you a PM with some questions about the program. I submitted my application today. Anyone else apply? Application deadline is

  13. Mayo Student Nurse Externship

    AZBlueBell posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Just wondering if anyone has experience with this program? It is not the New Graduate Residency but rather the 8 week summer program that you can do while still in nursing school. I'm very interested...

  14. UIU CEP Hybrid or Online

    AZBlueBell replied to KittenEars's topic in Arizona Nursing

    No, they have never told us why they do this. I would assume it's just easier to not have to worry about placing students based on their preferences, but it seems they have difficulty getting the...

  15. UIU CEP Hybrid or Online

    AZBlueBell replied to KittenEars's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I don't like that they place us in clinical without choice. I know some schools (GCC) have the students register for the options on a first come first serve basis. EMCC doesn't do this, they just...

  16. UIU CEP Hybrid or Online

    AZBlueBell replied to KittenEars's topic in Arizona Nursing

    EMCC probably is more competitive because I believe they only take 24 students for each cohort now. I had 28 to start in mine (maybe 29, I can't remember). I chose EMCC as my first choice because it...

  17. June CEP applicants

    AZBlueBell posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    I know it's still a ways off but I was SUPER excited to see the application session was available for registration tonight! So I thought I'd start a thread for those of us applying in June. I'm...

  18. UIU CEP Hybrid or Online

    AZBlueBell replied to KittenEars's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Yes, the critical thinking course! Ugh We did take Stats together :) We talked about maybe carpooling but I had to drive from my parents house instead of mine because they watched my kiddos for

  19. UIU CEP Hybrid or Online

    AZBlueBell replied to KittenEars's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The first online class was difficult only because of the time it required. The actual material wasn't difficult but it was heavily time-consuming. In the course I took we had to do 6 discussion...

  20. Mayo Student Nurse Externship

    AZBlueBell replied to AZBlueBell's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Honestly, I came across it by chance. I was googling AZ student nurse externships to see if anything came up and I found this! I had never heard of it before so it was really exciting to

  21. UIU CEP Hybrid or Online

    AZBlueBell replied to KittenEars's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I am at EMCC and I chose to do hybrid UIU after my first online class with them. I am very good at online courses (I did almost all my pre-req's online) and was ready to do all online with UIU....

  22. Hiring new grads in ICU Phoenix

    AZBlueBell replied to bap9090's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Where do you find info for a Banner new grad program? Do they just do that automatically for any new grads hired or is it similar to Mayo Clinic new grad

  23. Mayo New Grad RN Residency program (Feb/2016)

    AZBlueBell replied to mrsboots87's topic in Arizona Nursing

    That sounds amazing, definitely going to apply for the program once I graduate. Thanks for the

  24. Fingerprint Card

    AZBlueBell replied to Kssable's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Mine took about 4-5

  25. Mayo New Grad RN Residency program (Feb/2016)

    AZBlueBell replied to mrsboots87's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Curious how you like it? I would LOVE to get into a residency program after graduation. I know Mayo is super competitive for their program
