mysterious_one ASN, RN

Right there with you . Starting last semester this January .

The University of Texas Medical Branch offers a nurse educator certificate for BSN educated RN's and so does Kaplan. How likely is it to be able to get a job in the nurse education field ( at a Nursing school or in hospital)? I'm not sure that I want...

Thanks everyone for their replies

another big hospital group I forgot to mention is Baylor.

As of April 16th. , I saw three intern positions posted. Click on Methodist Charlton Dallas and nursing in the search options. https://www.healthcaresource.com/methodist/index.cfm?submitbutton=Search&cjobattr1=All&ijobrowstart=1&ideptid=&...

In order for me to become a US citizen I would have to give up my German citizen ship. I have a brother living in Germany that is mentally challenged, who is now looked after by my aging parents, there may be a need for me to go back to take care of ...

Hi, I am a German native, living in the US since 91. I am not a US citizen, but I have a green card. I have a nursing degree in Germany, but did not work for a long time due to motherhood and frequent traveling. I decided, after being out of the job ...

HI, I graduated El Centro's program May 2008. When we finished we were told, that all theory classes would be taught on line in the future, (we still had to come in for class, both theory and skills), but I don't know if that really has started. Clin...

Try Baylor, Methodist or Parkland in Dallas. All have intern position listed. Try using intern, GN or resident nurse in the search function.

Thanks classicdame, for your reply. I did not give him any coverage, because the patient did refuse, but I was curious. It's also a dilemma, once you go of your shift, you really can't control what the nurses will do in terms of double checking on th...

I know this is a somewhat older thread, but I have a question pertaining this topic. I am a new RN and I had a patient who was on 70/30 plus sliding scale regular. His BS was between a 100 and 110 all day, so I gave him his 70/30 in the morning but ...

Hi all, I haven't posted in a while, I am so glad everyone is doing well, I am very proud of you guys, . I can't believe how fast time flies. One thing I am sure of, I am glad I am not in school anymore,lol. Working as an RN is tough, but at least w...

I am amazed a Dr. would prescribe it for weightloss. I am on topomax for migraines and have lost weight on it, but the other side effects are just to serious for me in our profession ( memoryloss, difficulties findings words/speech), that I am trying...

I was on 150 mg a day and tapered myself down to 100 mg. The reason: I have problem with the memory and speech (finding words) quiet often. My migraines did get better on the meds, and I wish I could keep taking it, but the side effects are very stro...

Hi, I am sorry you getting treated like this at your workplace. You deserve respect, just like anyone else and you may need to talk to this person directly about this situation. If they do not want to treat you with respect, go to your manager. Now t...

You mentioned that for prereqs classes, you don't think you can handle more than one class at a time. Because of this, I don't think you are ready for nursing school, time wise. Nursing school is very time consuming. I believe you should be able to h...

I can so relate to you, I was an extern on a unit for 6 months and then after my graduation started as an intern/GN on the same unit. I was put with a preceptor that I knew was tired of precepting. She had precepted 3 interns in a row and had talked ...

Hi, when you are asking, what is the process for becoming a surgical nurse? Are you referring to med/surg or OR nursing? You did post in a med/surg forum, so maybe you are not quiet clear of the difference. If you do, excuse the following. A med/surg...

As others have mentioned, fundamentals in a nursing program can be hard, because the tests are so different from the previous prereq tests everyone was used to. As to your studying: try figuring out, what kind of learner you are first. Are you visual...

wow! not a very nice reply. I am also a former El Centro Student, but your way of responding to other people, just made me not want to even try to say anything anymore.

First of all, I am sorry, you are going through this. The school should have made it clear to you from the beginning that this would be an issue. I can understand , though, why it may not be possible for you to go through clinicals. Unfortunately you...

I was hired as Gn into L&D right away. My hospital does 12 weeks orientation. When I graduated I actually got hired for this job and another L&D position at another hospital with 6 months orientation. Now I wish I would have taken that positi...

I don't plan on going back to school right now. I don't have all the prereqs for a BSN and I don't think I want the extra responsibility as a midwife, even though we might have to deliver some babies on our own. I wouldn't mind being a preceptor one ...

congratulation kalmeira, I have been peeking in on this thread sometimes. I went to El Centro and feel somehow connected to you all, since it is Dallas County CC. I graduated in May and work now on L&D at Charlton Methodist. It is interesting to...

I have heard from one of our externs on our unit that there supposed to be a new test for all graduates that will cover the nurse practice act. Maybe that is what they are talking about for the final. But the book will not help too much for that eith...
