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

    selaz replied to 1996RN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    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

  2. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    selaz replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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

  3. Rio Salado - no discussion?

    selaz replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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...

  4. please help with location...

    selaz replied to dlaura22's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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)...

  5. distance to phoenix q..

    selaz replied to AfghaniPrinzess's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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...

  6. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    selaz replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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

  7. Who's failing block I???

    selaz replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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

  8. Who's failing block I???

    selaz replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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...

  9. Who's failing block I???

    selaz replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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....

  10. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    selaz replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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...

  11. ADN without CNA

    selaz replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Arizona Nursing

    ...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

  12. ADN without CNA

    selaz replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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...

  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...

  14. traumatized by vermin

    selaz replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Arizona Nursing

    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

  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...

  16. Wiping Butt...

    selaz replied to Chicagoan's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, regardless of the OP's history or financial concern, I don't see the problem with asking the question. I think it's completely a fair question to ask if someone is interested in nursing. Have...

  17. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    selaz replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I would imagine that the next available cohort would be July. Banner has already started placing for the March cohort. In order to apply for the Banner program, you are required to already be on...

  18. How do you stop bad habits?

    selaz replied to loriannlpn's topic in General Nursing

    By the way, Loriannlpn, I still haven't started smoking again. I responded to your thread about a month ago to tell you that I tried hypnotherapy and it worked. It's still working (even though I...

  19. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    selaz replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm glad to hear the program has such rave reviews! I was just offered a slot last week for the March cohort...and so excited to start! Really ready for this career change! I can't believe the time...

  20. Am I the only one that hates clinical?

    selaz replied to scubadooII's topic in General Students

    Hey, I have to defend the OP here. How would she know what the exact tasks were for AM care at that particular institution as a new student --and she isn't a CNA? It's not intuitive --it needs to be...

  21. what did you do in your former life?

    selaz replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in General Nursing

    Hey HARRN2b --I'm in marketing as well! I have a BS in Biology --wanted to go into a health-related field but wasn't sure what. Ended up working for an Animal Health products company and moving into...

  22. Accelarated Programs

    selaz replied to sj6074's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hi There -- Both U of A and ASU are very competetive. ASU uses a point system as a means of admission. I believe a total of 7 points are possible: you get the point value of your GPA (3.7 GPA = 3.7...

  23. Questions regarding Maricopa CC's Nursing program

    selaz replied to NewJA's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The "randomizing" to which they are referring only applies to those who submitted their applications during the October application week. From your post, it seems you have been waiting for seven...

  24. Second Career Nurses (30+ years old)

    selaz replied to duxallinarow's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet, but hope to be. I chose nursing as a second career because I want my talents and passion be directed toward something constructive that I can feel good about as a human

  25. How do you stop bad habits?

    selaz replied to loriannlpn's topic in General Nursing

    I just went to a hypnotist 2 weeks ago to quit smoking. I have tried to quit in the past and can honestly say that this has been the smoothest ever. In the past smoking cessation attempts, the...
