5. Could Single Dad Get in...

   Jooliaghoulia replied to newsingleDad's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Well, it's possible. I was a single mom, and teacher, and managed through work, scholarship, a load of loans, and a lot of luck, to finish my BSN. Look around and see if there are weekend or bridge programs that cater to working adults. I drove 45 mi...

6. Is nursing really that bad of a career choice?

   Jooliaghoulia replied to alyssajeanette's topic in Career Support

   I don't know what's available in your area, but I know there are a few hospitals that offer high school senior/undergrad nursing externships or similar programs. They are designed many different ways, but will give you a perspective that you just can...

7. Nurse Extern?? What's that about?

9. Texas BON for bipolar disorder

   Jooliaghoulia replied to bella_'s topic in Disabilities

   Just thought I'd share my recent experience with the Texas BON and declaratory orders. Like many, I went back and forth- disclose or not disclose? I'm stable, I'm on meds, I follow up, solid nursing school/employment record. So, I start thinking, why...

10. Parkland New Grad Med-Surg Fellowship Program

    Jooliaghoulia replied to RNFAB27's topic in Texas

    Hi all- did anybody ever get deadlines, etc for September residency start date? I imagine it's too late now for an actual internship position. I got the idea that the dates were staggered throughout the different specialties/units. Did you just apply...

    Hi! Did you ever apply for the September cohort? Any luck? Are you sure about the 15 spots? I'd heard it's grown since then.

13. Dismayed with first nursing job

    Jooliaghoulia replied to msteeleart's topic in Psychiatric

    Wow, that sounds like a really unreasonable expectation, and a really poor care model. I agree that you should definitely start looking elsewhere.
