I've been offered two internship positions in the Dallas area. I think the pay is good for a new grad, but during my talk with HR, a sign on bonus was never mentioned. Is that something I should ask about or is it a given that if they didn't bring i...
Thanks so much! See, I learned something new! :) I thought the only position a new grad could apply for was an internship! There are plenty of positions that I saw that only required a degree/diploma. Looks like I'll be busy submitting resumes today...
Good question. I saw those posted at Baylor, right? I'm not a night person by any means. I really hope more positions become available. Seems that new grads are severely limited to what area they go into if all hospitals abide by the internship only...
I'm currently in nursing school in Richmond Va, and I will graduate in May. Here, there are no mandatory interships. We can apply to any area we want. If we are to get hired, we basically have a preceptor that we work with for 8-12 weeks. Me and my ...
Hi everyone. Thanks so much for your advice. I did some looking around at other areas closer to Denton, but to be honest I wasn't all that impressed with what I saw as far as real estate is concerned. I'm not 100% certain that I will end up working ...

I definitely appreciate the advice and will take it all into account next week during clinical. :) I'm also going to stop asking if I can listen to bowel sounds, heart, etc. I totally do that alot and that gives the patient the option to say no and...
Okay, I'm in my second semester and I'm doing great as far as grade wise in my classes. I'm even doing okay in clinical except for today! Last week in clinical I had the pt from hell. NOTHING I did was right. He was cold, crabby and basically critic...
I'm considering taking a spanish for health professionals class at a local jr college. It's not required for my nursing school, but I was thinking that it could possibly be useful to know a second language. I'm also planning on moving back to Texas ...

I'm currently going to Bon Secours and absolutely LOVE it! The instructors are AWESOME and they are very hands on and encourage each and every one of us to go to them with any problems, questions, or concerns we might have. I was afraid that we would...
