  1. Got into a car accident after working a night shift

    MBrickle replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with this! I have a 1.5 hour commute home most days. When I get home I got straight to bed! Draw the curtains, phone on vibrate and sleep mask on. I sleep for 8-9 hours as I feel I need more...

  2. ADN vs. BSN in Boston

    MBrickle replied to slucas's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

  3. How is this even possible?

    MBrickle posted a topic in University of Texas Arlington

    So, it looks as if UTA is missing one of my transcripts. The funny thing about this is that I sent official transcripts from two institutions in the SAME envelope and had them mailed overnight on...

  4. UTA Fall 2013

    MBrickle replied to futureexpectations's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I had the same issue with them this week. I applied to the RN-BSN program and the have only updated one of my two transcripts despite the fact that they were both mailed in the same envelope! I called...

  5. How do I list my skills?

    MBrickle posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have only had one job post-graduating and am looking to move on. In preparation for this, I've re-vamped my resume. In every different example I looked at, something different was done! Could anyone...

  6. How is this even possible?

    MBrickle replied to MBrickle's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Update: So, I made the wise decision to actually call UTA before I sprinted out of bed, bleary-eyed from only sleeping for 4 hours after a night shift, and making my way to my old community college in...

  7. Working nights and working out.

    MBrickle replied to elleroser's topic in General Nursing

    I wake up and go but I work 8's, not 12's. my advice would be to go every day you have off and go after your last shift before you have a day off. Could you do a quick 30 minute walk before work? Or...

  8. How is this even possible?

    MBrickle replied to MBrickle's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Thanks! Of course now that I have applied I haven't heard from my admissions specialist, nor did I get a return phone call from the school I need to get a new transcript from.

  9. How is this even possible?

    MBrickle replied to MBrickle's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Yes I was going by MyMav and am hoping a lack of updating is the case! Just trying to be proactive about it....I'm so anxious to start and hopefully increase my job opportunities around here that all...

  10. ADN vs. BSN in Boston

    MBrickle replied to slucas's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I was in your same spot a few years ago. I opted for the ADN program. Some accelerated programs were 40-60k and I just couldn't justify that when I could be an RN for less than 10k at a local...

  11. How is this even possible?

    MBrickle replied to MBrickle's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Haha, thanks for the pep talk :-) So much for precious sleep after my night shift tomorrow....I'll be ready to fight with the administration at my old school about leaving with a transcript in- hand...

  12. Timeframe for acceptance?

    MBrickle posted a topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Hi all! I applied to the online RN-BSN program at UTA for the Feb 25th start. I submitted my application last week (which has been received according to MyMav.) I mailed out my transcripts via...

  13. Timeframe for acceptance?

    MBrickle replied to MBrickle's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I am actually curious to know the same. I haven't heard any information regarding my acceptance so I haven't begun the process yet. How long did it take you to hear back once you had submitted...

  14. Timeframe for acceptance?

    MBrickle replied to MBrickle's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    ooh thanks! Yikes...I don't think I took a U.S. History course in college...we shall see what they say...if I ever hear from them! It says that I have no pending applications on MyMav but it says that...

  15. The New Grads I Know...

    MBrickle replied to RxOnly's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Well all this about jobs is encouraging! I have spent all of today working on my resume...I FINALLY decided, after months and months of debate, that I want to pursue my NP in a few years...so now I'm...

  16. Timeframe for acceptance?

    MBrickle replied to MBrickle's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Hey! Great to hear from you! I also have no idea about what pre req's we actually need to take and/or transfer. I only know about medical terminology because I've read through some other threads on...

  17. Timeframe for acceptance?

    MBrickle replied to MBrickle's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    No I have no certs! I know that means I'm in for another elective. I hope I get accepted...and soon! I'm just so anxious to begin, especially because you really need a BSN in my

  18. Timeframe for acceptance?

    MBrickle replied to MBrickle's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I'm not sure but I think so? I took medical terminology at a local community college and I read that they only accept it from a 4-year institution so that may be an issue. Have you been able to find...

  19. RN to BSN or BSN/MSN in massachusetts

    MBrickle replied to Imakeadifference's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    University of Texas at Arlington. 9000 total in 13 months but I hear people finish in as little as 7 or 8. Umass Boston was super expensive and was going to take 2.5 years plus a clinical. No thanks...

  20. The New Grads I Know...

    MBrickle replied to RxOnly's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I graduated as an ADN. Two students got hospital jobs (one worked as a CNA on the floor that hired her) I am in pedi home health, a couple others got agency jobs, one methadone clinic and one doctors...

    MBrickle replied to Blindsided's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

  22. Timeframe for acceptance?

    MBrickle replied to MBrickle's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Great! Glad to hear from you! Yikes...hopefully they take the courses with the best grades that will satisfy the requirement! I'm hoping to hear from them and get this party started. I'm hoping to...

  23. Finding RN Jobs in Boston/Cambridge and surrounds. Please help.

    MBrickle replied to tik1985's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Good luck. The job market around Boston barely exists. If you aren't willing to travel you will have problems. I commute 1 to 1.5 hours for pedi homecare. Look into Spaulding rehab, Franciscan (pedi...

  24. Hilarious maternity nursing sayings/pics

    MBrickle replied to RN2B123's topic in Nursing Humor

    Hysterical!

  25. How are Schools getting away with pumping out so many new graduates for no jobs?

    MBrickle replied to AlleycatLady's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    First, most people I know never expected to have to move to get a job... not after my first undergrad degree at least, but then again I am in Boston which is a larger city. That being said, my area...
