   Dottie, RN replied to SBJustBreathe's topic in General Students

   Dottie, RN replied to Dottie, RN's topic in Texas

   Thank you for the advice. I've checked online, but there is no update to my application at all. Also, I haven't received an email. Hoping to hear something this week, but also tempted to call & find out.

6. Residency Program - Still waiting to see if I'm accepted

   Dottie, RN posted a topic in Texas

   Hi all! I need to vent and get some opinions. I've been driving myself crazy, because I've been waiting over two weeks for an answer. I received my license in April, and went for my first interview last month for a residency program at a hospital ...

10. Care Plans - What's their purpose? - What do you think of them?

    Dottie, RN replied to jjjoy's topic in General Students

    IMO, I think care plans are helpful, but they are lengthy, and took forever for me to do them...very time consuiming. That was the only thing I didn't like about doing them, especially if we had a test that week...and this past flex, we had one due ...

12. Working while in nursing school

    Dottie, RN replied to darci14's topic in General Students

    It's doable, but not easy. If you're really dedicated and determined, you can do it. To be honest, if I didn't have to work, I wouldn't. I'm only in my first semester, but have been working full-time during the day and attend school in the evening...
