   One way I learned to handle this situation is to ask the person "Why are you telling me this?" or "What is your intent?"

2. wanting to leave after 7 months

   amn_carpenter replied to bymysoul2squeeze's topic in Management

   As others have said, delegation. You cannot do everything yourself and they cannot expect you to be able to do it all. Analyze your calls. Are they mostly staffing issues? Most of my calls were staffing issues. Once I hired more people and help ...

   amn_carpenter replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas

   For anyone who is curious, I bought the study guide. I didn't really get to study before taking the test, but I felt that if I would have studied, I would have done better on the test. The test is just like the study guide. The interview was just ...

   Old posts are still read frequently by people wanting to know. Your post is appreciated and I think that is a good point. The more hands on experience you get, the better you should do as a nurse.

   I just got my last Hep B shot on the 13th. The suspense is killing me, I just want to know if I am going to get in or not. I am glad to be starting school again on the 25th. I need something to take my mind of of the waiting. How's everyone else ...

    amn_carpenter replied to Agatha's topic in Texas

    Sorry, one thing I wanted to mention is that there is a huge cost difference between the two options as well. That may be a factor. Since you are older than the average student (I am as well) you may have a family that you need to think about too. ...

    amn_carpenter replied to Agatha's topic in Texas

    Agatha, I feel that I am very much in the same boat as you are. I personally have decided to only apply to the BSN program at UTHSCSA (Univ. of TX Health and Science at SA). If you already have the prereqs it's only two years and you'll have a BSN....

    I did apply at SAC but I won't get in because their point system is very different and they have a very high count of applicants. I really need my BSN and would like to get my MSN. But if I don't get an invite for an interview in the next month I t...

    amn_carpenter replied to amn_carpenter's topic in Texas

    Good Luck. I know it will take a month for the interview letters to come out. I have a high prereq GPA but a low overall so I'm not sure how good of a chance I actually have. Are you going to apply anywhere else?

    amn_carpenter posted a topic in Texas

    I was wondering if there were any people applying for Spring 09 that wanted to share information and have someone to talk to. I applied and they sent my GPA report. It's wrong so I need to get them to fix it. There is an open house on Thursday, Ju...
