1. Please, needing a little help with a couple of things

   Becca76 replied to cupid09's topic in New Nurse

   I'm wondering if maybe the night shift is a possibility. (and no, I'm not being sarcastic)!! The night shift has less distractions, less going to and from procedures, less phone calls, less new orders, etc. It may not be your first choice but it c...

2. oral care..

   Becca76 replied to darren_callcareer18's topic in General Nursing

   We were told in nursing school that the lemon glycerin is no longer recommended. It's an old school of thought.

   Becca76 replied to justbeachy27's topic in NCLEX

   Congrats!! I took mine today, and my story sounds identical. Shut off at 75, lots of prioritization, infection control, SATA. YIKES!!!! I walked out with my stomach in knots!

6. Did new grads shoot themsves in the foot (are jobs really that scarce?)

   Becca76 replied to keithjones's topic in New Nurse

   It's all in who you know! Sad but true! I've got a 4.0 with a BSN and a pretty impressive resume (if I do say so myself) . But, the thing that helped me for sure get the job I wanted was the people I knew. Good luck to everyone! It's a tough mar...

   Becca76 replied to EllieBell's topic in General Students

   Elliebell - We DID get the breaks that were listed on the calendar (though some had to do clinicals the week of Thanksgiving and def. Spring Break). Good luck to everyone!!! I agree with RNHouston that if you're around the Conroe/Woodlands area, the...

8. Fall 2009 UT Houston BSN Applicants

   Becca76 replied to Cailex's topic in Texas

   You have to come to the school for all exams as well as labs, and clinicals range from 1 to 3 per week depending on the semester. There will be no predictability from month to month so your schedule must be uber-flexible!!! HTH!

9. Fall 2009 UT Houston BSN Applicants

   Becca76 replied to Cailex's topic in Texas

   Not trying to be negative but I interviewed last year the first week of February, and my status didn't change until April 1st! So don't get discouraged! I know they say you'll hear something in a couple of weeks but it seriously could be months! Just...

10. Commuting to the Medical Center

    Becca76 replied to Kittyfeet's topic in Texas

    I'm commuting from Lake Conroe for school and while it's a VERY long drive, it's do-able for me for a certain period of time. It does get old and I wouldn't want to do it forever (but I'm 40 minutes farther than you). I did meet someone at Hermann ...

    We could use simple calculators only (no scientific calcs, phones, etc).

13. Accelerated/ Second degree BSN programs in Houston

    Becca76 replied to enm14's topic in Texas

    I don't think so. There is UTMB at Galveston...not too far.

14. Clinicals question

    Becca76 replied to Corkybabe12's topic in Texas

    Had the same problem finding the vaccine. I called our local hospital and they told me which clinic in the area had it. GL! Oh and I've already started clinicals and won't get my final Hep B until October.

15. UT Houston students with young families (Houston)?

    Becca76 replied to jymom's topic in Texas

    You def. can do it if you REALLY want to. I'm in the ABSN program and have two kiddos. BUT, you have to have major support. My hubby and mom are awesome! Your schedule must be very flexible as things can change at any time. You may only be at sc...
