New grad positions are filled several months before graduation for start dates after NCLEX is passed. Austin is one of the most difficult job markets for new grad in the nation. Houston is a bit...

You would make far more money doing an extra shift. I did MT before attending nursing school for nearly 20 years. It is highly competitive with much of the work now farmed out digitally to India....

The PSB is not graded on a flat grading scale like a classroom test. It is graded on a comparative percentile. This means that your score is calculated according to how many questions you answer...

In the current economy it would be in your best interest to work.

Texas is a very tough market for new grads.

Cooks, Children's and Medical City Children's are the major three in DFW

What a bunch of donkeys. You have nothing to reproach yourself for. Mean people suck.

Travel nurses need a great deal of experience.

I had a sweet lady this week who on the surface was completely A&O. Digging deeper I learned that she believed herself to be getting married that next day to a 38-year-old billionaire and that her...

L&D, ER, ICU, NICU and pediatrics seem to be the most popular. Most want these. Very few actually get them out of the starting gate.

Same with our unit. We talk. We note the students whom we admire and we note those who make a bad impression. And if the student isn't one or the other we do not note them at all. They get forgotten...

Interestingly our docs do at times seem to have trouble with the drop in temp that can signify sepsis. They struggle at times with AMS indicating possible UTI also. Generally there can be some...

But there is where I get hung up. If there IS something brewing, Tylenol is simply going to mask it and delay treatment. I can promise that no doc I work with is going to order blood cultures for...

Nope, I don't. Nor do I for a low basal temp as a norm. If you read the original post, what I said was that those who want me to treat 98.6 as a fever have made me wonder if there is any scientific...

My son was locked in and we had to remove support and let him go. He was 13. Please please feel free to contact me. I am 6 years out from that now. I have support to offer and resources for you. I am...

I sometimes have people insist they are feverish when they aren't based on what they state their baseline temp is. "Well, I usually am 96.5 so YOU may not think 98.6 is a fever but for me it is". I...

The MA will be inexpensive until the lawsuit from a poor "assessment" misses something major.

Sounds illegal to me.

Clinical day typically is revealed 1-2 weeks before the semester starts. The program operates under the assumption that all students understand this is a full time course load and will have made full...

I believe Medical Center of Plano will post in June and accept applications only from BSNs who have already passed NCLEX.

I love having an eager student. There are a couple in this rotation though that sit like bumps on a log. They stare off into space. I have to direct them to do vitals, ADLs, answer call lights etc....

Don't send it. If you are unhappy quietly find another position and then resign in writing without emotion. If they ask for an exit interview you can then tell them why you left. This letter was no...

Yeah, kind of made me choke to see suburban hospitals referred to as rural. They are nowhere near the same.
