   oshkosh20 replied to Kdrenee's topic in Texas (UTA)

   Yes they do and they do not have a maximum amount of CLEP credits that you can transfer per the Academic Partnership Rep. that I spoke with on the phone. UTA does have a list of CLEP credits that they will accept for credit on the testing portion of ...

4. What is my legal and Ethical Obligation?

   oshkosh20 replied to tripletsgranny1's topic in General Nursing

   If the doctor was aware and gave the ok for the nurse to call in the prescription for another nurse then fine, no wrong doing. Now if the physician was not even aware of the prescription being called in, there could be some major legal ramifications....

5. Positive TB & New Employment

   oshkosh20 replied to paperbagdove245's topic in General Nursing

   As long as your CXR is negative, then you have nothing to worry about. A positive PPD just means at some point you were exposed to TB that in now way means you have active TB. I have worked with plenty of nurses that had positive PPD's and have to ge...

   oshkosh20 replied to NickB's topic in Emergency

   I had nearly the same experience, went for back pain to an ER for the same company I work for. I have had a herniated disk at T7-T8 in that past, I could not even walk in, my wife had to go get a wheelchair. I was in so much pain that I sat in the wa...

   oshkosh20 replied to farmernurse26's topic in Relations

   In Texas most employers have a 90 day probationary period, you can quit or they can terminate you without any notice in that 90 day period. I started a job and worked 3 weeks into it and HATED it, so I quit. Don't list it on any resume or application...

11. is an online RN-BSN program a hindrance to entrance to NP program?

    oshkosh20 replied to geekgolightly's topic in NP Students

    Check out University of Texas at Arlington, Academic Partnership RN-BSN. 100% online, one class at a time, affordable like $8000 I think. UTA is on of the top nursing schools in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Good LUCK.

12. Is it impossible to get on at Cook/Children's without a BSN?

    oshkosh20 replied to smvtx23's topic in Texas

    It is definetly the norm right now in DFW. All of the hospitals have gotten together and made it a priority to have new hires have their BSN's. I think this is total bullcrap. I was lucky enough to get a position offered to me in critical care with a...

    In our area if you want to bypass the red tape of hospital HR's then some nurses get a job with an agency. Just a thought.
