1. A bit discouraged

   Sam I Am replied to CaptCrunch's topic in Male Students

   From my experience as both a tech on Med/surg for 2 years and as a nursing student, I can tell you that Med/Surg is the armpit of nursing. It is constantly understaffed and overworked, in addition to being a dumping ground for the patients that no on...

2. I think that I have been GroupOne'd

   Sam I Am replied to stl2nola72's topic in Texas

   I don't think they've spread to 18 states, as I'm pretty sure their constant violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act would get them shut down if they expanded too much. Having said that, I used to work with a tech who graduated RN school & was...

3. Want to move to Texas, but worried about GroupOne!

   Sam I Am replied to MissBrittanyRN's topic in Texas

   I live in the DFW area and you do have a valid concern. I've known 2 people who have been reported: 1 (a tech who had just graduated from RN school) filed a libel suit against the manager who reported her, the hospital, and (I think) GroupOne as well...

4. DCCCD OR CCCCD -Nursing Program

   Sam I Am replied to kaliamama's topic in Texas

   I'm in the 3rd semester at Collin County. We don't do summer courses here, so Brookhaven will get you out faster. Other than that, I can't tell you which school is "better." Between clinicals & work I've been to quite a few hospitals in the area,...

5. Question about working and going to RN school???

   Sam I Am replied to mks1014's topic in Texas

   I have 2 kids, but they're both in school. I work as a tech in a hospital; sometimes I can study at work, more often than not I can't. Working & going to RN school is tough, but you can do it if you really want to. You'll need a LOT of support, ...

6. Question about working and going to RN school???

   Sam I Am replied to mks1014's topic in Texas

   I work full-time while attending RN school here in the Dallas metroplex. It is tough, very tough, but possible. You'll need a LOT of support from family, friends, etc., but it CAN be done. I go to school during the week (Monday - Wednesday) during t...

7. Collin College

   Sam I Am replied to ser2011's topic in Texas

   I'm in the program at Collin County, set to graduate in May 2010. In my class, the lowest person accepted into the program had 14 points. I don't know if it's become easier or harder, though, since I started. Good luck!

8. San Diego

   How much experience are hospitals looking for out there?

9. San Diego

   Sam I Am posted a topic in California

   Hello All, I am currently a nursing student living in the Dallas area. I graduate in May, and would like to move to San Diego after graduation because, well, it's San Diego & I have family there. A couple of questions, though: Where are the good ...

    Hello! I'm a nursing student currently living in the Dallas metroplex. I graduate next May. My family & my wife's family both live on the west coast, mostly in San Diego. I love it out there & want to move back, but I'm concerned about the c...
