   sleepymom posted a topic in Texas

   I've been offered two internship positions in the Dallas area. I think the pay is good for a new grad, but during my talk with HR, a sign on bonus was never mentioned. Is that something I should ask about or is it a given that if they didn't bring i...

2. Confused about internships in Dallas area

   sleepymom replied to sleepymom's topic in Texas

   Thanks so much! See, I learned something new! :) I thought the only position a new grad could apply for was an internship! There are plenty of positions that I saw that only required a degree/diploma. Looks like I'll be busy submitting resumes today...

3. Are all Internships on night shift?

   sleepymom replied to Medic2RN's topic in Texas

   Good question. I saw those posted at Baylor, right? I'm not a night person by any means. I really hope more positions become available. Seems that new grads are severely limited to what area they go into if all hospitals abide by the internship only...

5. Moving back to Texas (Allen, Frisco, Mckinney)

   sleepymom replied to sleepymom's topic in Texas

   Hi everyone. Thanks so much for your advice. I did some looking around at other areas closer to Denton, but to be honest I wasn't all that impressed with what I saw as far as real estate is concerned. I'm not 100% certain that I will end up working ...

8. What to expect 1st semester of nursing school???

   sleepymom replied to angl2839's topic in General Students

9. HELP!! Tell me where I can buy some confidence!!

   sleepymom replied to sleepymom's topic in General Students

   I definitely appreciate the advice and will take it all into account next week during clinical. :) I'm also going to stop asking if I can listen to bowel sounds, heart, etc. I totally do that alot and that gives the patient the option to say no and...

    Okay, I'm in my second semester and I'm doing great as far as grade wise in my classes. I'm even doing okay in clinical except for today! Last week in clinical I had the pt from hell. NOTHING I did was right. He was cold, crabby and basically critic...

11. Would you consider this a waste of time?

    sleepymom posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm considering taking a spanish for health professionals class at a local jr college. It's not required for my nursing school, but I was thinking that it could possibly be useful to know a second language. I'm also planning on moving back to Texas ...
