   RN_Pursuit2b replied to cherubhipster's topic in General Nursing

   Only you know in your gut if you can trust your employer or not. If you can find a way to be fair and protect yourself at the same time, it's ideal, but it's not always possible, and again; only you know. In my case, most of the time I didn't listen ...

3. Moving to East Texas from Northern Nevada

   RN_Pursuit2b replied to RN_Pursuit2b's topic in Texas

   Thank you for the great info, HappyBunny! Maybe our happy spot is somewhere in between Tyler and the Austin/San Antonio/Houston area. I was raised by country people in Los Angeles, so I had the values of the South and Midwest in a major metropolis wh...

   RN_Pursuit2b replied to RN_Pursuit2b's topic in Texas

   Thank you, Carachel! Wow, I can't believe that. I've always believed there is good and bad in every race; it's the heart you look at; "fruits of the spirit," as it were. Austin sounds wonderful, and it's very important to me to work in a hospital or ...

   Oh wow, RN1989, such great information from someone who knows it well; thank you! Those are the areas that seem to catch my attention also. Texans are so helpful. I'm looking forward to friendly people; everyone is too busy for friends and sometimes ...

7. Moving to East Texas from Northern Nevada

   RN_Pursuit2b replied to RN_Pursuit2b's topic in Texas

   Good idea. If it works out with our daughter, I have always liked San Antonio also, and I think my husband would too; I was thinking maybe living in a small town outside of it. Is it a good place to live around there?

   RN1989, just a suggestion; with your awareness and passion for what's right, what about moving into a field having to do with ethics? I bet you'd be a good lobbyist on behalf of patients!

   RN_Pursuit2b replied to RN_Pursuit2b's topic in Texas

   Thank you Carachel, wow; right down to the nitty gritty, the kind of pitfalls I was looking for. I was hoping there was something redeeming about it, but I had some gut feelings like this. My stepdaughter and grandkids live there. She and my husband ...

10. Moving to East Texas from Northern Nevada

    RN_Pursuit2b replied to RN_Pursuit2b's topic in Texas

    Great info, RN1989; thank you so much. Eeek. We may need to consider another area within driving distance to our family there; any suggestions on that? Where would you go as a newbie from the West? I'm more concerned about getting through school at m...

11. Trapped in this office job and waiting for nursing school...

    RN_Pursuit2b replied to cherubhipster's topic in General Nursing

    I can relate to the double-life situation. When I was a secretary my former boss got wind of my interest in nursing from a two-faced employee who I thought was a friend. He didn't get rid of me, but started giving my work away, treating my co-worker ...

    RN_Pursuit2b posted a topic in Texas

    Hello everyone, If you wouldn't mind, I would appreciate any advice or pitfall warnings for a second career, 41-year-old pre-nursing student moving to the Tyler area. I would like to make sure I fit in and succeed. I'm working on my CNA and would lik...

13. TMCC vs WNCC

    RN_Pursuit2b replied to Hello_Nurse_2B's topic in Nevada

    TMCC's CNA class is tough also, so I am hesitant in even applying there at 41 years old. My husband was scheduled for major surgery after I started and I wanted to make up that one day or come in late, and with a skowl I was asked to have my husband'...

14. Why did you choose Nursing?

    RN_Pursuit2b replied to RNstudentwithQ's's topic in General Nursing

    I love this thread; I have something in common with most of you. I'm 41, just started pre-reqs, was trying to find meaning in the corporate world, have recovered from anxiety and panic disorder (due to the corporate world), my mom was a CNA (more lik...
