  1. When should I start a family?

    There will never be a "perfect time" and just know that "plans" hardly ever go as planned. My "plan" was to get pregnant during nursing school, have a baby right after, take 6 months off, then start work. Well……lets just say I had a lot of bad...
  2. Aside from being able to empathize with the parents, I would say I'm no better of a nurse than I was prior to having a child. On the flip side though, being a nurse has allowed me to be a better mother to my child.

  4. Peds CVICU nurse taking PICU position

    It's the same agency. I was on the phone for a about 30 min total since the hospitals PICU called and interviewed me, then transferred me to the CVICU who also interviewed me. The recruiter who I'm working with (my recruiter is out of the office) did...
  5. Peds CVICU nurse taking PICU position

    After my husbands military transfer last summer, I've had no luck in securing a job in our new small town. Being that I only have peds CVICU expierence and have now been out of a job for quite sometime, I decided to give traveling a shot in hopes of ...
  6. Fired after 3 weeks!!!

  8. peds CVICU or tele?

    Thanks so much for the replies! Your response just helped me to solidify my decision. I do want to work peds critical care even if it means making less money and having to wait an extra month to start. I guess in the midst of thinking about hospital...
  9. peds CVICU or tele?

    I am new grad who is fortunate enough to have the option of choosing between a GN program in a pediatric CVICU or a GN program on a telemetry floor. The CVICU program will be starting a month later than the tele and pays about $2 less per hour. Both...
  10. Fall 2011 UT Houston Health Sciences hopefuls

    There are only like 25 A&P questions on the HESI. I had taken it before I had covered the urinary system and reproductive system and I missed 3 questions. 3 questions doesn't seem bad, but since there were only 25, I ended with an 88 which was ...
