Hello fellow nurses, I plan to attend the FNP program at UTEP for Spring 2026 hopefully. Can any recent graduates give me some tips and can I continue to work? I currently work full time. Thanks?

I am an RN and oversee charter campuses in Texas. At these charter schools, they hire medical assistants and license vocational nurses to work within the campuses and I am overseeing them. They do give students medications at these schools. I want to ensure my license is not at jeopardy also I want to ensure that this is okay within charter schools in Texas. I've written the BON and they do not give a clear answer. I'm wondering if anyone else in Texas is experiencing this within charter schools and if they can give input in regard to this.

Unfortunately in this ICU there are no techs. I used to move patients all the time at the skilled nursing facility but they weren’t comatose dead weight.m with ventilators, lines, etc. I feel like my critical thinking is fair.

Of course I learned how to turn patients as an LVN. They weren’t dead weight and comatose people with ventilators. Very different. I have passed competencies for skills you mentioned. Thanks for your input.

Hello everyone, So I recently started at as a new RN in an ICU In my hometown. I started preceptorship in Oct. and on my own Nov. 17. I’m feeling discouraged. Even the simplest of things are hard for me like changing a patient and bed rolls etc. I’m not too sure why. I was an LVN for 5 years prior and I did geriatric care which was totally different. I feel like my bedside manner is great but everything else is just completely new to me. I’m having trouble liking my job. Not to mention, there’s seasoned ICU nurses that are not very helpful and rude. I don’t know if it’s the hospital I’m at or what but I’m not feeling it. I dread going to work. I’m just wondering if this gets better or what !?!
