5. Tips for a new nurse going into ICU

   MedSurger posted a topic in Critical

   Hi all! I am a new nurse with about a month of home health experience. Most of my clients have vents, trachs, gtubes, electrolyte imbalances, and other complicated medical problems that make my job challenging and rewarding. I love what I do! However...

6. Parkland Internship June 2012

   MedSurger replied to hnielson37's topic in Texas

   Weird. I thought this was only for hiring MANAGERS, not recruiters. I was told by a couple employees to contact the hiring recruiters. Have you seen the thread for Parkland SICU September 2012? Search it. We are all waiting! Stinks, but I have heard...

   It's been over two years since I wrote this! I am happy to report that I survived Nursing School, passed my boards and now work as a R.N. I am not working at my "first choice" facility, but I love it. Thanks for the support, y'all!

9. FAIL NCLEX RN with 75 question ... need help !!

   MedSurger replied to karymc's topic in NCLEX

   I have to agree Kaventino, to a degree. Programs like Hurst, which offer "live" reviews can get to the source and identify a testing issue. They are the experts. NCLEX is a $200 test and it adds up quick every time you take the exam. I definitely hop...

    omotzury- have you tried calling Parkland? Also, have you ever attended an Open House? I went in the Spring. I HIGHLY recommend you attend one. I believe they are usually held in the spring.

    MedSurger replied to ashburns4ever's topic in General Students

    I am aware of this "problem" many of us ADN'ers are encountering. I am conscience of it, but not intimidated. I plan on working my tail off and proving to my co-workers and superiors that not having a BSN out of the gate will in no way interfere with...

13. FAIL NCLEX RN with 75 question ... need help !!

    MedSurger replied to karymc's topic in NCLEX

    Hello & Welcome! I don't post often, but I think I can offer some advice. If you are failing the NCLEX and being stopped at 75 questions, this tells me there is a fundamental issue with your test taking skills. NCLEX is a fickle test; It will tr...

15. financial assistance for nursing students that need an operation?tx

    MedSurger replied to bubbasmom's topic in Texas

    At the hospital I am currently doing rotations at, I see surgeries (many of them MAJOR) being done frequently on cash-pay (meaning uninsured) clients. In fact, most of the pts I care for are uninsured. And most of them have had surgery. Very expensiv...
