Dignity Health Mercy Gilbert is 198 beds Mountain Vista in East Mesa is 178 beds

HonorHealth Thompson Peak is only 120 beds. It's in north Scottsdale off the 101 freeway and Scottsdale Drive.

Thanks for that info! One of the new grads in my cohort at HonorHealth was in OR but had previous OR tech experience, I think. I'm still in my first year and considering applying to Banner New Grad for OR specifically.

One of my classmates had been a volunteer and then a tech there while in school, but the other two had zero healthcare experience.

Have you heard of anyone being able to go into surgery as a new grad?

Phoenix Children's has new grad positions open right now :) Keep checking back after you graduate in the spring. Some of my classmates were hired there as new grads early this year Open Postion - Clinical Nurse - Career Opportunities @ Phoenix Children's Hospital

It looks like it opened yesterday on the 17th :) Hope you get this!

So, no group work since everyone's on their own schedule? Do you still have to post to ongoing discussion boards? And how does the capstone course work for this program? Thanks for any additional information you can offer!

Congrats and good luck in your interview! I can't remember what department she said, but it was at Osborn.

Apply to any new grad RN position posted and you're included in the next cohort after your hire date. The new grad postings seem to come and go quickly so check every day or every other day at least, and don't give up if you're not getting any responses. A friend from school just got an interview finally and said she's applied for every new grad position that popped up since she got her license in Jan.

When I started, it was way more expensive to go through Walgreens or CVS. I used requestatest.com and went to a draw site near my house. They're currently running a special for $139 using LabCorp or $149 using Quest for the panel that includes MMR, hep B, and varicella. Immunity Panel | Prenatal and Employment Testing

I did all my clinicals but peds at HonorHealth locations. I ended up applying to a med-surg tele floor where I had a good experience but in my RN residency classes I'm with new grads who got hired into ICU, CVICU, neuro ICU, PCCU, cardiac rehab, med-surg oncology, DTU, might have heard someone say L&D. Plenty of specialties represented and definitely a mix of associates and BSNs :)

I'm in HonorHealth's RN Residency Program now for new grads :) It includes two half days of initial clinical orientation (along with two half days plus another full day of EMR training) at the NSSC near Deer Valley. Then 10 half day classes (lecture, interactive exercises and sim scenarios with mannequins) spread out over approximately six months at the education center near Shea. Two assigned nurse educators monitor your progress and check in with you on your unit over the first year. I didn't know ANYTHING about it through my application, interview, or new hire process though! No one mentioned it and there was nothing about it on the website or new grad job postings. I learned about it when my supervisor emailed my schedule for the first five weeks and there were RN residency classes listed. I called to find out when and where and she said I would find out about it at orientation. Apparently HonorHealth used to have this but stopped. It was restarted last year I think and they're in cohort 10 of the current program. It feels very organized and supportive so far. Not sure why it's so super secret Hope that helps!

Mayo's Nurse Residency Program (Arizona) will open it's application period in mid-March for a July start. Their program has an excellent reputation and the pay listed on the last cycle was $30 plus change. The hospital is located in north Phoenix just off the 101 freeway. From where I live by the McDowell Sonoran Preserve it's an easy 15 minute commute :)

Is anyone willing to share how quickly their license posted to the Arizona Board of Nursing website after NCLEX? A coworker tested on a Saturday and her RN license posted on Tuesday. I'm scheduled on a Thursday next month and just curious about the possibility of the license showing up Friday or Saturday before quick results are available...

If you're aware this instructor has assaulted patients during clinical, don't you have a duty to report her to the board of nursing at least?

Just clicked on an IHS tribal-designated position nursing position for Kotzebue Job Search Results | IHS Jobs it does not specify an AK license just "Licensure as a Registered Nurse in the U.S."

Did the nurse recruiter say how many applications they typically get during the three-day window?

I'm here just finishing my degree in December. You?

The Mayo website is updated as of this morning :) Apps will be accepted Oct 18-20 for Feb 20, 2017 start date

Does anyone have any idea when Mayo will open the application period for the Feb 2017 Nurse Residency Program? I'm pretty sure it will be in the next couple of weeks but currently the website is still showing information for July 2016... http://www.mayoclinic.org/jobs/training-programs-fellowships/nurse-residency-program-arizona/overview
