1. New RN on busy med-surg/oncology floor

   Bea1128 replied to Bea1128's topic in Med-Surg

   Thank you so much for your posts. It helps to know that you all have felt that way. I've decided that it is what it is and I just have to work through it. There are days I'm terribly behind, well then I'm behind. There is nothing I can do except ...

2. Need some encouragement:Stretched thin

   Bea1128 replied to KMC-RN-BSN-710's topic in General Nursing

   I could have written this post as well. I graduated in December. I also have 6 patients. I'm glad this was posted as I fell less alone. I thought maybe there was something wrong with me. It's good to know this is the way it is and that eventuall...

4. New RN on busy med-surg/oncology floor

   Bea1128 posted a topic in Med-Surg

   Hello all! I graduated this past December and feel extremely blessed to have found a job. I did an externship my last semester of nursing school and my manager was kind enough to find a spot for me when I graduated. I have just finished a 12 week ori...

5. Weatherford

   Bea1128 replied to rachelshusband's topic in Texas

   The W'ford hospital website says they will consider new grads. I had a friend who applied and was offered a position (we graduated in Dec), but turned the job down as something in another area came up that she wanted. I live in FTW. I applied, but...

6. New grad needs some honest advice

   Bea1128 replied to Ilovethe80s's topic in Med-Surg

   Thank you all for your input. I too am a new grad. I had the opportunity to do an externship in the CVICU my last semester of nursing school. I absolutely loved it and know that's where I want to end up, eventually. I was hoping for an internship...

7. where in Texas could a 2008 RN grad without experience get a job?

   Bea1128 replied to noiraug's topic in Texas

   I agree with TheCommuter. And I too hate to be pessimestic; however, I just graduated in December so I can tell you the job market is tough. Hospitals are wanting experienced nurses as there is an abundance of new grads. Out of 10 clinical mates, ...

8. Tarrant County Acceptance Letter

   Bea1128 replied to darrarizer's topic in Texas

   I'm just finishing up my first year at TCC and I had almost all A's (one B) in the sciences, A's in everything else, and I made 95% overall on my TEAS. I can tell you that on my TEAS, my lowest grade was in the science portion because I dedicated so...

9. Anyone else waiting to hear from TCC?

   Bea1128 replied to smvtx23's topic in Texas

   I remember how horrible the wait is, it drove me nuts! I was in your boat last year at this time, but the letter will finally come. Good luck to you guys!

10. Nursing school.... is just a bunch of BUSY WORK?

    Bea1128 replied to SilenceDogood's topic in General Students

    Yes, a bunch of busy work. The first semester I spent hours and hours on the paperwork, making sure it was just perfect. Now I do a good job and address whatever needs to be addressed. I do fine and get good grades, but the thing I've learned thro...

11. TCC Spring 2010

    Bea1128 replied to smvtx23's topic in Texas

    Don't freak out, I know lots of people who have made similar scores on the TEAS and got in. Your GPA is good and if you've made mostly A's in your sciences, you are in a good position. It all depends on your competition. My other question would...

12. Any positive thoughts on nursing school?

    Bea1128 replied to denise0815's topic in General Students

    I'm just finishing up my first semester and it has been great! Before starting, I heard all the negative comments as well..."it's horrible, nursing school sucks,blah, blah, blah". The entire semester I kept waiting to hate it. I kept thinking maybe t...

13. The ugly side of Nursing

    Bea1128 replied to HumorHeals22's topic in General Students

    Vomit hasn't been an issue at all, but I've strained more than my share of poop this semester. I just hold my breath and get it done as quickly as possible. Yes, I gagged a time or two, but eventually got it under control. Some of my classmates ca...

14. I Have No Memory Recall!!!!

    Bea1128 replied to rectal itch's topic in General Students

    I find myself having the same problem, but mine is usually with the more mundane things like the paperclip and the elevator thing. :) Or if I read in the textbook the night before and I get asked a question, I know I've read it, but can't recall the ...

15. my kid wants a sibling, I want to start nursing school

    Bea1128 replied to la mama 310's topic in General Students

    You have to do what is right for your family. No one call tell you what to do on this issue; however, you asked for advice so here it is. The actual time at school, in class or clinicals is easy. It's honestly not that much time spent; however, it's ...
