1. Does anybody know a facility, hospital who is welcoming new nurses

   kaycedee replied to puffi77's topic in Texas

   I'm going to be on the fringe of DFW so looking into employment outside the major metroplexes will be doable. I know that job searching with no inside connections in a tight market will not be a walk in the park, but you've made me feel a tiny bit b...

2. Does anybody know a facility, hospital who is welcoming new nurses

   kaycedee replied to puffi77's topic in Texas

   This kind of post worries me like crazy. I will be moving to Fort Worth after graduating an ADN program in Oklahoma and I'm getting concerned that once I do I won't be able to find a job. I realize that hospital jobs are scarce and am certainly not...

3. Why do people insist that there is a nursing shortage?

   kaycedee replied to MissNancy's topic in General Students

   I agree llg. I also think that some schools are at fault for not accurately representing the job market. For example, I took an intro to nursing class that had a "nursing shortage" video that referred to 2003 as being in the future. The old data f...

4. Geez...they're dropping like flies!

   kaycedee replied to Annachu512's topic in General Students

   I'd start getting to be buddy-buddy with the smart people and bringing them cupcakes and buying them coffee. I'd rather study and be one of the smart people. That way I can buy my own cupcakes and coffee and eliminate the middleman. I'm cheap li...

5. Transferring Nursing Schools - From one state to another

   kaycedee replied to FLboundBSN's topic in General Students

   I am sort of in the same situation, but my husband actually moved out of state in October for his job. For several reasons I will be staying behind and completing nursing school before I move to join him. I was told that any in-state nursing class...

6. Is a BSN mostly theory/lecture? Difference from ADN?

   kaycedee replied to ShaynaSmart's topic in General Students

   I have been told that the difference between an ADN and a BSN is pretty much the ability to advance into administration, get promotions, and go for advanced nursing degrees. I don't know if that's true everywhere. The BSN program I looked at had a ...

7. BADNAP summer 2012

   kaycedee replied to A. Dawn's topic in Oklahoma

   It seems like I've heard of people getting their CPR certification at Moore-Norman Technology and I'm pretty sure that Metro Tech offers classes as well. I had to go with Francis Tuttle, though, because it's so convenient to where I live.

8. Do we need to take drugs.. in order to do our job?

   kaycedee replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

   I'm in social work but am starting nursing school this summer. When I started at my current job a few years ago I was told that it should come with a prescription. Almost everyone I can think of is on meds for the stress. It is no good.

   Just out of curiosity has anyone else signed up for a CPR class yet? I went to Francis Tuttle yesterday and got a spot in their March class and at the time there were a few spots still available.

12. UTA AP-BSN Partner Hospitals

    kaycedee posted a topic in Texas

    Hi everyone, This is going to be a novel but I'm really needing some information and hoping to find it here. To start with I'm not from the DFW area. I currently live and work out of state, but if all goes well I plan to join my husband in Fort Worth...

    kaycedee replied to A. Dawn's topic in Oklahoma

    That is awesome. I thought it was going to be Monday-Friday classes/clinicals. I never checked because dangit I'm going to nursing school no matter what, but I'm really glad to hear it. I was wondering where I'd be able to squeeze in adequate stud...
