1. Grand Canyon University... RN to MSN/education program

   selaz replied to 1996RN's topic in Post Graduate

   Hi Tait --I also have just applied to the ADN-MSN program at GCU. Still waiting to hear if they will accept my statistics course from ASU....we'll see. When to you plan to start classes?

2. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

   selaz replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona

   Hee hee....you crack me up, Stopnik. But SERIOUSLY, there will be certain people that you HOPE will fail so you don't have to see them in the next block. Sounds mean, but it's true.

3. Rio Salado - no discussion?

   selaz replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Arizona

   It's irritating because it's such a silly, narrow-minded description! Come on...most of us know plenty of people (some--GASP--not even college educated) who are perfectly capable of independently comprehending what they read.

4. please help with location...

   selaz replied to dlaura22's topic in Arizona

   I think the Biltmore area is certainly nice (and expensive)...and is probably less "chainy" and "strip-mally" than the many of the places in Phoenix. Another great area is the Arcadia (also expensive) area. Arcadia has a couple of interesting non-cha...

5. distance to phoenix q..

   selaz replied to AfghaniPrinzess's topic in Arizona

   I agree with Hoozdo...definitely not ok! They call the freeway leading to Phoenix from the West, "The Crapper." The drive from the West sucks in the morning! I would also consider your age...you don't want to be stuck out of town away from all of ...

   FuturePedsRN: Check out http://www.bannerhealth.com/_for+employees/Benefits/Arizona/health/medical/2007+plans.asp ...this site tells you what kind of employee will qualify for benefits. Good luck!

7. Who's failing block I???

   selaz replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Arizona

   That's good news, then. Don't get me wrong...I do have to study --but it's not the kind of studying I had to do back in the day.

8. Who's failing block I???

   selaz replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Arizona

   Yeah...not rocket science, but I had this image in my head about what it would be like...and it's not nearly as hard as I thought (what I have read about on this site). However, I may yet be in for a rude awakening...I'm only in my first block.

9. Who's failing block I???

   selaz replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Arizona

   I'm midway through block 1 (my block started Mar 19 and ends Jun 21). Out of 32 people, I don't think anyone in my block is failing. I think there are people who are close, but none who are failing. I'm starting to get the feeling that my classes ...

10. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    selaz replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona

    I would NOT recommend full time work during the Banner Nurse Fellows Program. Banner does pay benefits for 32 hours worked in a pay period (according to their website). That's only 16 hours per week. You may have to pay more for the benefits, but ...

11. ADN without CNA

    selaz replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Arizona

    ...and to answer your question...I say don't do it if it messes up your schedule that much. Plus, you have to pay for it twice!

12. ADN without CNA

    selaz replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Arizona

    I'm in Block 1 and I wasn't a CNA prior to starting. I'd say about half of my class has the CNA. Your first block involves learning all of the CNA duties. Would I feel more comfortable if I was a CNA before? Probably --but I don't think it's detrimen...

13. Pet Nurse??

    selaz replied to Fuzzy's topic in General Nursing

    If you all notice throughout the description, Banfield calls it a "PetNurse" --all one word. I have dealt with this a lot in my career (in marketing) --you can get away with quite a bit legally if you combine words in the right way. You will notice ...

14. traumatized by vermin

    selaz replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Arizona

    LMAO! Don't ya just love the vacuum?!?! Ahhhhh!!! I'm always afraid to empty my filter now because I'm terrified I'll find colonies of scary critters in my vacuum....I make my boyfriend do it.

15. Have you had a gastric bypass or lap-band procedure?

    selaz replied to puggymae's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, that's really interesting. I notice that when I eat sugar and other refined carbohydrates, I want more and more and more --I am almost crazed. I feel like an addict. I talked to my Primary Care Physician about this and she agreed --cut out su...
