1. Pedi Clinic interview coming up

   Meerkats posted a topic in Ambulatory

   Hi all. I'm transitioning from pediatric home health to something more stable. I have an interview with a pediatric clinic next week. This particular clinic does well-child, preventative care, and some urgent care type appointments, so I feel like it...

   Hello school nurses! I'm in pediatric home health with 2 years of experience and I have an interview for a school nurse position later this week. I just wanted to say hello, and thank you to all the nurses that give such great info on this forum. I'...

   Meerkats replied to DowntheRiver's topic in Texas (UTA)

   Did you actually present it? Or just made notes as if you did? I don't know if I will have the chance to actually present it.

4. Capstone

   Meerkats replied to freckles23's topic in Texas (UTA)

   I agree, very vague. I think we need to come up with all these things ourselves. It's been hard for me but we'll get through it.

5. Capstone?

   Meerkats posted a topic in Texas (UTA)

   Hey everyone. For those who have completed the RN-BSN online program; what does the Capstone entail? I have finished all the other courses, and am just waiting to be able to register for the capstone. I would like a little heads up about what it...

   I'm currently in NURS 4465 Vulnerable Populations, all I have left is the Capstone. What kind of project is it that needs to be done?

   I hadn't been on here in a while. I'm in the class, and it has been one overwhelming assignment after another. Can't wait for it to be done.

8. UTA Summer 2018 Capstoners?

   Congrats! I'm currently in Texas Govt and Health Policy. I'm not enjoying this part of it at all. I'll be doing Capstone in October or November.

9. What is harder- nursing school or first year working?

   Meerkats replied to BookishBelle's topic in General Nursing

   I'm a few months into my first year of working as an RN. What is harder is the PTSD from nursing school. (lol) No, really. Nursing school pressure was more difficult for me. And I've had some tough patients.

11. RN to BSN, still considered "new grad?"

    Meerkats posted a topic in Texas

    Hello Texas nurses. I graduated with ADN from a college in Houston, and we relocated to DFW right after graduation. Not realizing HOW SATURATED the DFW market is with new grads, and how few hospitals will hire ADN (most require BSN). So I'm working ...

12. Next steps in nursing career after BSN

    Meerkats replied to Meerkats's topic in School

    Thanks! I'd be ok with making all those decisions if I had more confidence in my abilities. Honestly, after reading these answers, I think I am going to go the hospital route for a couple of years first. I want to have a solid skill set before going ...

13. Next steps in nursing career after BSN

    Meerkats replied to Meerkats's topic in School

    This is a great idea. I will see if I can get a prn hospital gig after my BSN. I believe I can be a substitute school nurse even with my ADN. I'll try to get in to do both. And yes, I do have some soul searching to do. I went into nursing school thi...

14. Next steps in nursing career after BSN

    Meerkats replied to Meerkats's topic in School

    Than you for responding. Another plus for me would be weekends and holidays off. I have a high school kid and a middle school kid. So getting that time off with them while they still want mom around would be cool.

    Meerkats posted a topic in School

    Hello school nurses! I am currently an RN working in pedi home health. I'm working on my BSN, and thinking about possibly going into school nursing after that. I have not worked in the hospital before, and was wondering if that would be a hindrance d...
