  1. Help! ? About Arizona College Mesa

    Chazzie_Made_It replied to Brambi24's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I have never attended Arizona college, and I second the others recommendation and suggest the Maricopa community colleges. Avoid the for profit schools. I worked throughout the accelerated program at...

  2. AZ New Grad RN

    Chazzie_Made_It replied to EveeRN224's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Is relocation an option? If so Tucson and Phoenix are good areas with new grad programs. I'm not sure of anywhere else in

  3. AZ New Grad RN

    Chazzie_Made_It replied to EveeRN224's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Abrazo has a nurse residency program. Apply to any of the positions and if selected they will place you in the new grad program. Banner and May also have new grad programs. Although I think Mayo has...

  4. Mistake on orientation..please help

    Chazzie_Made_It replied to MommyRN89's topic in Patient Medications

    Someone didn't do their med checks prior to giving the medications, not once, but twice. It wasn't your fault. The blame lies with the night shift

  5. Got my ATT and I need some guidance to pick a day

    Chazzie_Made_It replied to julsca's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The amount of time needed is different for everyone, especially those who have to repeat the exam. I would recommend focusing on 2, maybe 3, materials. I personally used UWorld for questions and...

  6. Better opportunity?

    Chazzie_Made_It replied to Rkapfen's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Honestly, I would take the residency program. I don't know if it looks bad, but you have to do what feels right for you and your

  7. Nclex was awful

    Chazzie_Made_It replied to medsurgRNCali's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I totally understand the feeling. I felt like that when I got out of there. It's a completely different kind of exam. I felt like the questions were not even in the format that UWorld presents, or any...

  8. Do you look up the push rate for IVP meds?

    Chazzie_Made_It replied to Nsco2018's topic in General Nursing

    I do. Because I am still a new nurse. Maybe when I get more familiar with meds I won't have to...

  9. Overtime

    Chazzie_Made_It replied to _littlemissBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Goodness at your post sounds familiar. I have been getting out on time during my whole preceptorship, except one day. Well on my first day off of orientation I ended up leaving an hour late. I had to...

  10. Rant*I hope I'm never their patient

    Chazzie_Made_It replied to xtina334's topic in General Students

    Some students don't have to try. There were some semesters where I could bomb the final and still pass. I didn't, but I could, because I kept my grade up the entire semester. But I didn't study like a...

  11. Completely at my wits end on how to start my nursing education

    Chazzie_Made_It replied to sanb26's topic in Nursing Career

    I would heed everyone's warning and slow down. Don't rush into this. And stay away from the for-profit schools. I went the route of going to PCA/PCT training. Then about 3 years of pre-reqs. And then...

  12. 4 shifts of orientation for new grad

    Chazzie_Made_It replied to questioningnurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wow!! I wouldn't feel comfortable after 4 shifts either. My new grad residency program is 12 weeks long, minimum. I am on my 4th week and still have a ton of questions. I feel slow at times and am...

  13. Areas of the country that hire new grad ADN's?

    Chazzie_Made_It replied to PianoTiles's topic in Nursing Career

    I recently got hired (March 2018) at a specialty hospital here in Phoenix, AZ. I know a bunch of people from my class were hired to different hospitals

  14. Repeating block 4

    Chazzie_Made_It replied to itscarroll15's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I was in the Maricopa program and I failed Block 4. I just wasn't grasping the material. I passed 1, 2, and 3 with either As/Bs but Block 4 I was struggling the whole time. I failed by 0.2 percent. I...

  15. What is your nurse to patient ratio?

    Chazzie_Made_It replied to Alexx_xox's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Working in Arizona on a Tele/PCU unit. Our ratio on night shift is 1:5. Days is 1:4. However, depending on acuity it may be 1:4 (nights) or 1:3

  16. NCLEX worries

    Chazzie_Made_It replied to Cortmusic's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I completely agree with the above poster. Another thing - stop reading all these "Failed" posts on Allnurses.com. Seriously, they will give you more anxiety. The fact that you have to take NCLEX is...

  17. 2018 Arizona New Grad Salaries

    Chazzie_Made_It replied to Starreacher26's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I can verify that the Mayo, Banner, and Abrazo rates are correct.

  18. (a bit of a rant) how do you deal with exhaustion long days

    Chazzie_Made_It replied to bailyoneohnine's topic in General Nursing

    Dang, this resonates so much with me. I was a total zombie my last semester of nursing school. I was so tired all the time and felt like I wasn't absorbing the information being taught. I started out...

  19. Nurse residency VS. Straight on the floor.

    Chazzie_Made_It replied to Alexx_xox's topic in First Year After Licensure

    As a new grad I applied specifically for positions that offered a residency program. I am in a PCU residency program that will last 12 weeks. We get 2 days on the floor and 1 day in the classroom....

  20. Asu rn-bsn enrollment

    Chazzie_Made_It replied to itscarroll15's topic in Arizona Nursing

    ASU offers an RN-BSN program - but you have to have an RN license and it must be in good standing. I start in the Fall 2018. Just graduated in Dec. 2017 and started a new job, I should be done with my...

  21. Best route for future RN in Phoenix/Scottsdale area?

    Chazzie_Made_It replied to UpAndAway's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I just graduated from a Maricopa Community College in December 2017, Gateway. It was a pretty good program. I would definitely recommend Maricopa. I passed NCLEX and applied to ASU's RN-BSN program...

  22. Its 5 months and still no update on NCLEX Results

    Chazzie_Made_It replied to gorgeous_me's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Can you log into your Pearson Vue account? Check there? IDK if NM participates in quick

  23. Travel Agency Recruiter harassing me to take the offer

    Chazzie_Made_It replied to nomad29's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    That was a scary read. I'd like to know what travel agency it was - so as to

  24. Maybe a stupid question..

    Chazzie_Made_It replied to fjluce's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Yes! Finally! No one should have to tell him this is wrong. It's not our responsibility as his co-workers. In orientation they lay it out, the rules, regulations, and laws regarding sexual harassment....

  25. Documenting Patient Falls

    Chazzie_Made_It replied to BSN_Studnt's topic in General Nursing

    You document the fall, every fall, in the medical record. Just the facts. Interventions taken. You should also document an incident report. We use Midas at our facilities. We are told to not...
