  2. Need help getting my foot in the door; any suggestions?

    I don't know how much any of those positions pay, but I would just say get in where you fit in, and if all else fails, volunteer there until something comes open! That way you will have already been...
  3. TCU or TWU BSN Program

    Maybe I'm being overly sensitive, but I kind of take offense to the statement that TCU students "dish out thousands of dollars extra to wear the purple scrubs, LOL!" I am certainly not going there...

    or it's astroturf!!
  8. Venting about classmates with families...

    I think the resentment only comes because each group thinks it has it harder than the other and there truly is no way to measure. We all have our own "life crap" to deal with which may add to or take...

    I want to add that I NEVER ask ppl how they did....since I know it makes me uncomfortable, I don't want to put them in that same position. I think I'll just start saying "I did well" although I have...
  11. Venting about classmates with families...

    Honestly, there's no comparison. I agree with the OP that it grates on my last nerve when my classmates complain about their kids being a hinderance. We ALL have our struggles. And like Feels Like...

  14. Tips for surviving adult floors when you want to be in peds?

    I feel almost the same way. I am sick of medsurg and oncology. It's just not my cup of tea...but I take comfort in knowing that it's only for this semester and next. And I can do anything for 2...
  15. New Jurisprudence Exam
