1. *UNEMPLOYED NURSES*

   southeRNyankeee replied to bree*'s topic in Job Hunt

   Yes, lots of people think nursing is recession-proof. What I said was no one here, in this thread about how hard it is to get a job, feels that way. You are absolutely right, I am only a new grad who got a job less than a month after licensure in a ...

2. *UNEMPLOYED NURSES*

   southeRNyankeee replied to bree*'s topic in Job Hunt

   Did you read my post? Hidden agenda...using your background against you...is it really that serious? Unemployed nurses are definitely allowed to vent. I just got a job last month myself, and I was especially worried because I had to move right after ...

3. *UNEMPLOYED NURSES*

   southeRNyankeee replied to bree*'s topic in Job Hunt

   You are a cheerleader of negativity. You come here and says how you hate other nurses and that they are bitter and disgusting. You say the field is pathetic, that the "crummy reality" is that nursing is "just not the best field out there", and then w...

5. San Antonio, Wayland Baptist vs. Galen Nursing

   southeRNyankeee replied to anar00's topic in Texas

   no, Galen has an LVN to RN bridge. The price is considerably more than SAC but comparable to Baptist (health systems, I have no idea about Wayland!) The LVN program can be completed on days (12 mo) or in the evenings (21 mo). The RN bridge can be c...

6. Our new hire, new grad charge nurse

   southeRNyankeee replied to kimbo9's topic in General Nursing

   If you are an ADN and do an RN-BSN program online it is possible to do it in 3 semesters. It is also possible to do it without an additional clinical component, which would mean some BSN nurses have no more hands-on clinicals than their ADN counterpa...

7. Our new hire, new grad charge nurse

   southeRNyankeee replied to kimbo9's topic in General Nursing

   A BSN is an RN. More extensive physical exams? Please explain this. Also, from what I understand, the difference in degrees is academic. Your clinical experience is only as good as your program and that varies regardless of whether it's ADN or BSN.

8. San Antonio, Wayland Baptist vs. Galen Nursing

   southeRNyankeee replied to anar00's topic in Texas

   I don't know anything about Wayland Baptist but I went to Galen for my LVN, and then for the LVN-RN Bridge program. Feel free to ask me any questions you might have, I'll do my best to answer!

9. What do your school uniforms look like?

   southeRNyankeee replied to TheCommuter's topic in LPN-RN

   That's us...white. White top with blue piping and school logo on the pocket, white pants. The women's top pulls over the head, men's has a zipper. They are pretty bad

10. Buying Textbooks online?

    southeRNyankeee replied to crazytonurse's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I just bought an international edition of a book through Abebooks.com from textbookxpres out of Houston. I placed my order on Tuesday night, and it arrived FedEx on Friday. It was hardcover, and came with all the supplemental materials. The pages ...

11. Who has a Littmann in a lighter color?

    southeRNyankeee replied to southeRNyankeee's topic in Uniform/Gear

    The lady told me you can get the tubing changed just because you're tired of looking at it, so I'd go on and send it in! I almost went with the purple, but settled on the bright orange instead. I like the Raspberry, too!

12. Who has a Littmann in a lighter color?

    southeRNyankeee replied to southeRNyankeee's topic in Uniform/Gear

    I believe I sent in the warranty card, but I don't think that matters. When I called the lady was able to figure out when I bought it from the serial # etched on the bell. You can call (800-292-6298, opt. 8) just to be sure, they are very nice! I j...

13. Who has a Littmann in a lighter color?

    southeRNyankeee replied to southeRNyankeee's topic in Uniform/Gear

    update: I sent my pink Littmann out on June 1st, priority mail, and I got it back today with new bright orange tubing. Free with a fast turnaround. Can't beat that!

14. Texas Careers in San Antonio, TX

    southeRNyankeee replied to Dottie, RN's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Galen has a better pass rate, and the tuition is cheaper (around 15k) but doesn't include books and uniforms. You can usually find someone willing to sell theirs when they are done though. Their evening program is 5p-9p, clinicals until 11p, 4 to 5 ...
