   I am from Texas and will be relocating to the Columbia area as soon as I graduate (June/July 2008). What is the starting pay for new grad nurses in this area and when should I begin looking for a job? Also would I need to take NCLEX here in Tx and th...

2. They changed the clinical attendence policy on us today...

   Clinicals are there because you need to time to practice and learn the skills and get comfortable doing them on a real patient. That is precious time that you need to become a good nurse. I tend to agree that there really isn't an "excusable" reason ...

   future_nurse08 replied to future_nurse08's topic in Texas

   I did a test run to see how long it would take. It actually took about 2 and a half hours on the light rail and TRE. It's just with gas prices so high right now and having to commute from McKinney it doesn't seem reasonable to drive. Although neither...

5. Medical Center of Plano

   future_nurse08 replied to Medic2RN's topic in Texas

   My roommate actually works at MCP so I can tell you a thing or two about this hospital. The staffing is horrible. They are always short but if you work the day shift you will be pampered otherwise expect to be way overloaded with patients at night. T...

   I live in Texas and I just finished my pre-req's this past semester and I was accepted to begin in the fall. However, it's a BSN program. I got rejected twice by a community college so I gave up on them and went with a University.

7. NET advice

   future_nurse08 replied to Worthless_Nut's topic in General Students

   Which school are you taking the NET test for? As for the math section, it's basic math, algebra, etc. They give you extra paper and the problems can be worked out without a calculator. Also each section is timed individually. It doesn't seem like the...

   future_nurse08 posted a topic in General Students

   I was accepted to nursing school and am supposed to begin in August. My partner always told me that I didn't need to worry about working during nursing school and that she would take care of the bills. Well we have been on-again-off-again for the pas...

    Andy_HRtoRN Yay! It looks like you and I are going to be in the same program. Did you go to orientation on Friday? What did you think of it?

11. I didn't get into UTSAHSC BSN program..

    future_nurse08 replied to kea6783's topic in General Nursing

    Don't give up if nursing is what you really want to do. I've waited 5 years and have been rejected twice and finally was accepted to TWU. If it is what you love and want to do with your life then try other schools as well and re-apply next semester. ...
