   StephyJaye replied to StephyJaye's topic in Texas

2. Moving to Austin Tx area from Ny

   StephyJaye replied to StephyJaye's topic in Texas

   I'm alright with the low to mid 30's an hour. Without the state income tax I can deal with taking a bit of a pay cut. I can't wait to get away from brutal winters. Much rather have brutal summers.

7. One semester left to go

   StephyJaye replied to mb1949's topic in General Students

   I'm in the same boat. This was the roughest semester for me where I honestly thought I was done after walking out of the final. Granted I always worry (typical nursing student style). OB was not my thing so the first half of the semester started off ...

    StephyJaye replied to Mesomorph's topic in General Students

    Nursing school doesn't make dating impossible, just a bit of a challenge. I went from seeing my boyfriend a few times a week to once a week or every 2 weeks due to school/work. But he is also totally understanding & realizes this is what I want t...
