1. Has anyone ordered from a1scrubs before?

   tejas-nurse replied to amblessing's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I'm curious about A1scrubs as well. Why does it take so long for them to ship out? Any of you ordered from them recently?

2. Any nurses have opinions on working at Tenet Hospitals?

   tejas-nurse replied to BettyBoop01's topic in General Nursing

   True, the market dictates that new grads get what scraps they can.

3. Any nurses have opinions on working at Tenet Hospitals?

   tejas-nurse replied to BettyBoop01's topic in General Nursing

   I know bad things have been said about the Tenet hospitals near Hermann Park. Anyone hear anything about the others, such as the Northwest Houston Medical Center? Right it it's a really rough patch for new grads. Don't know how long it's going to be ...

4. Any nurses have opinions on working at Tenet Hospitals?

   tejas-nurse replied to BettyBoop01's topic in General Nursing

   Seems like the comments about Tenet are mostly bad. But I also think that almost all hospitals will find somebody complaining about them. There are a lot of new grads out of work. What if Tenet was the only game in town? Would you hold out for someth...

5. Nurses Under 30 Years Old

   tejas-nurse replied to PetiteOpRN's topic in General Nursing

   I don't know about them leaving you alone at 30-40. Seems like everyday that someone with just a months' more experience wants to use that to one-up someone else, never mind how that experience was gained or if something was actually learned from it ...

6. Nurses Under 30 Years Old

   tejas-nurse replied to PetiteOpRN's topic in General Nursing

   It's just ageism. Those who do all that yapping about high-falutin morals will turn right around and be lazy themselves. Before they turn around they'll stab you in the back first. CYA in nursing, comrade, CYA.

7. Nurses Under 30 Years Old

   tejas-nurse replied to PetiteOpRN's topic in General Nursing

   There was a time when I believed that wisdom came with age. Now I know better and believe that wisdom might come with age after CONSTANT and MEANINGFUL reflection. I have seen a pair of 50-year-old nurses on the floor acting spiteful and girley-girle...

8. Nurses Under 30 Years Old

   tejas-nurse replied to PetiteOpRN's topic in General Nursing

   I just don't bring my phone in. If there is a true emergency, my family can call the unit secretary and she can take a message. Otherwise, my personal life will wait until I'm done with my shift. Texting? All ages engage in this. I'm just glad I'm s...

9. Nurses Under 30 Years Old

   tejas-nurse replied to PetiteOpRN's topic in General Nursing

   I'm sorry that you had a bad experience with nurses under 30. I agree with many hear that entitlement has become a way of life for Americans of ALL generations. I have observed nurses in their 40-50s constantly talking/surfing the internet on their i...

10. Attacking a Doctor Makes News; Attacking a Nurse is Business As Usual

    tejas-nurse replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Relations

    That hospital managers just write off attacks on nurses shows how much they value us. Very little. Contact your local nurse's union and politicians and beef up penalties for assault. One of my nurse friends even once said he wished he could carry a C...

11. As an RN do you have your own pvt malpractice insurance?

    tejas-nurse replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Any recommendations for malpractice insurance in Texas?

12. Help me choose the most rigorous NP program: I want stuff, not fluff

    tejas-nurse replied to tejas-nurse's topic in Texas

    I think it is exactly the ultra-padding of fluff that makes nurses the target of ridicule by MDs and PAs. I seriously wouldn't mind putting in some hard-hitting stuff. Seriously. I would rather spend a few hours memorizing muscle insertions and origi...

13. Help me choose the most rigorous NP program: I want stuff, not fluff

    tejas-nurse replied to tejas-nurse's topic in Texas

    And by stuff I mean, more pathophysiology, more pharmacology, more clinical applications. Any NP programs have a cadaver lab? (holding my breath) I definitely want less to nil assignments about how to address homelessness through nursing, cultural ex...

14. Help me choose the most rigorous NP program: I want stuff, not fluff

    tejas-nurse posted a topic in Texas

    Anyone have any recommendations on a rigorous FNP or ACNP MSN program? I've seen the curriculums for some of the major schools and frankly, they don't impress. It's like 80% nursing philosophy, and 20% hard-core stuff. Please give me some recommendat...

15. I was all set to head towards NP now a dr told me PA. Hmmm

    tejas-nurse replied to creativetype2007's topic in General Nursing

    May I ask which NP program you are applying to? I just think that if we had some more med-schoolish components such as cadaver lab, that might take some of the edge of the criticism that we constantly hear from PAs and MDs.
