   emtstudentnurse posted a topic in Texas

   Next week I'm interviewing with Scott & White in Temple. I'm looking for some insight on what to expect from an interview there. I've prepared my resume, cover letter, list of references, outfit ready, and brushed up on interviewing in general. I...

2. Vent, Rant, All of the Above- New nurse in trouble

   emtstudentnurse replied to emtstudentnurse's topic in New Nurse

   Our Press Ganey results just came in, out patients are not happy. And we didn't meet all of our KPIs from last year. There are quite a few pleasant and supportive people I work with, but they can't outweigh the toxic ones. The comment about comm...

3. Vent, Rant, All of the Above- New nurse in trouble

   emtstudentnurse replied to emtstudentnurse's topic in New Nurse

   I still help out with tele since they haven't hired anyone prn for nights. There used to be 2 nurses that we could do it, but now it's only me. I do receive my nurse's pay, but I have tele, answer call lights and play secretary. A bit of sensory o...

4. Vent, Rant, All of the Above- New nurse in trouble

   emtstudentnurse replied to emtstudentnurse's topic in New Nurse

   Update: Just had my meeting with my mgr. Over the phone. I'm working tonight, not on floor, watching tele. It's really hard to defend yourself or anything else for that matter when meeting is on phone. Bottom line was next time I'm supposed to re...

5. Vent, Rant, All of the Above- New nurse in trouble

   emtstudentnurse replied to emtstudentnurse's topic in New Nurse

   Only about 10 nurses actually treat me like that in general, out of maybe 50 nurses total. This one nurse with the newspaper does this to me on a regular basis. Lately, I've heard that it's harder for new nurses to work on a floor that they were a ...

6. A Personal Struggle

   emtstudentnurse replied to KalipsoRed's topic in New Nurse

   Since I posted something similar, I do not have work advice except take the others advice seriously. My advice is for your personal life. My personal life is somewhat together although work is not. At first it was a struggle, but with strategy it bec...

   emtstudentnurse replied to emtstudentnurse's topic in New Nurse

   Thanks everyone's advice, suggestions, and hugs. :yeah: A few things have come up since my original post. Before I'll address a few things. My patient load is usually not troublesome as far as number of patients. It's the patient acuity. I work a...

8. Vent, Rant, All of the Above- New nurse in trouble

   emtstudentnurse posted a topic in New Nurse

   This started out as an email to my nurse friends for advice. I'm casting this out for more than just two opinions. And my friends might not be brutally honest, which is what I'm looking for right now. To begin with, a SALT is like a write up in most ...

9. Moving to Tyler- Have a Few Questions

   emtstudentnurse replied to emtstudentnurse's topic in Texas

   Crimson- I think I'm confused on the part about the pay per year. Do you mean that's the yearly salary if you work full time (40 hrs/wk)? Also, $19.75/hr, I'm assuming that's RN, right? One more thing, telemetry floor is not considered specialty r...

10. Moving to Tyler- Have a Few Questions

    emtstudentnurse replied to emtstudentnurse's topic in Texas

    I think the biggest different in pay has to do with whether or not it's LVN or RN. I know I'll be making $2 less an hour regular pay and $4 less an hour on shift differential. I've decided to go ahead and go to Tyler and see what happens. Hopefull...

11. Moving to Tyler- Have a Few Questions

    emtstudentnurse replied to emtstudentnurse's topic in Texas

    Thanks. I'm trying to scramble and find some other jobs to apply for in another area. I took out student loans for school, so I have to plan on starting to pay those back soon. Guess I didn't look before I leapt. Live and learn.

12. Moving to Tyler- Have a Few Questions

    emtstudentnurse replied to emtstudentnurse's topic in Texas

    Thanks so much. I'm not supposed to start until close to end of August. But starting to reconsider, I think I might have gotten low balled on the pay. I don't think I'll be able to afford to live there on the salary since I'm single. It seems lik...

13. Moving to Tyler- Have a Few Questions

    emtstudentnurse replied to emtstudentnurse's topic in Texas

    Thanks so much. I've been looking at the area on Broadway south of the loop. Also, do you know how long it takes from the time you accept a position and do a drug screen to finish the background check?

14. Moving to Tyler- Have a Few Questions

    emtstudentnurse posted a topic in Texas

    I'll be moving to Tyler in late August. I'm trying to find an apartment, but almost everyone I call tells me they have a waiting list. Is this because of the college or just normal for there? Which apartments are considered more safe than others? ...
