    Yin Yang replied to kermitlady's topic in General Nursing

  2. Sooo tired of patients complaining about foreign nurses' accents....

    Yin Yang replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    LOL I'm cracking up here because I'm from Texas and get crap about my Texas accent all the time....But, you should have heard me try to communicate with my Grandfather from the Bronx when he was...

  3. Lactation Consultant

    Yin Yang replied to KungFuFtr's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm sorry to butt into the guy's forum too, but I have to tell you, I had major complications with the birth of my daughter 8 years ago, but was hell bent on breast feeding, even though I was too weak...

  4. Blurred Boundaries: Should we eliminate the distinction between RNs and LPNs?

    Yin Yang replied to ilovechadkrause's topic in LPN to RN

    Having just had to take the new jurisprudence exam in Texas, I can tell you that here, the line is not blurred at all....and if it is, you won't pass that exam. A huge chunk of that exam is knowing...

  5. I passed NCLEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yin Yang replied to dorselm's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulation! I too took and passed the NCLEX this week. Isn't it sucha load off?

  6. Sooo tired of patients complaining about foreign nurses' accents....

    Yin Yang replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it's not just nursing - anyone who is responsible for communicating effectively with a patient needs to be able to do so. It's not about being foreign born or native. I've met some people who...

  7. Sooo tired of patients complaining about foreign nurses' accents....

    Yin Yang replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I also believe it is a valid concern. Even some of my nursing instructors had such thick accents that I would have to ask them to repeat themselves several times in order to get the information I...

  8. El Centro/ Northlake-----Spring 07

    Yin Yang replied to Spill's topic in General Students

    M/S is definitely way too non-adrenaline for me. I need the craziness. Are you leery about going straight to ICU? From what I understand, the internships do a really wonderful job of prepping you...

  9. El Centro/ Northlake-----Spring 07

    Yin Yang replied to Spill's topic in General Students

    Fear not, I will keep you updated. My family will get so sick of hearing it that I'll have to have somewhere to share! lol. Are you looking at Irving, and which department are you interested in?...

  10. El Centro/ Northlake-----Spring 07

    Yin Yang replied to Spill's topic in General Students

    We were at Baylor Irving, and had it not been so far away, I'd have jumped at it. I just really wanted something close. Atmosphere wise, I think you have toxic people anywhere, but they definitely...

  11. El Centro/ Northlake-----Spring 07

    Yin Yang replied to Spill's topic in General Students

    She's not good at conveying, but that's why I suggested you bring up the film to her in casual conversation...lol. Prime the pump a little. I had 3 SATA questions, 1 med calculation. Tons of...

  12. El Centro/ Northlake-----Spring 07

    Yin Yang replied to Spill's topic in General Students

    I didn't really doubt it, but you know how it is. If you expect the worst, you aren't disappointed...lol. You chose the lesser of 2 evils for sure! But yes, Grey does her major careplan from a...

  13. HELP for the NCLEX???

    Yin Yang replied to LadySnyper's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Even with joint custody, one is designated as a managing conservator I believe. That is the one that can sign the consents. I'm not sure about a joint conservatorship? Interesting question. On the...

  14. Are Transgendered nurses not liked?

    Yin Yang replied to tmwhalens's topic in General Nursing

    Don't you just love the support of the people on this board! And all of them are right. Just because you are transgendered does not mean you are not entitled to follow your dream! You have the same...

  15. ranking of tx nursing schools?

    Yin Yang replied to tea_leaf's topic in Texas Nursing

    It's the same teachers, same administration. In fact, a friend of mine had to repeat a semester there because of an extrememly minor thing. Just make sure you stay ahead of the game, and find a...

  16. Took the test today with 80 questions!!!!

    Yin Yang replied to Courtney Nurse Writer's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I passed! Officially Yin Yang,

  17. El Centro/ Northlake-----Spring 07

    Yin Yang replied to Spill's topic in General Students

    Well....I PASSED! My goal was to start my internship as an RN and I made it, by a couple days...hehe....The other two (from ECC) that took it the same day as me passed also! It's a party now...

  18. ranking of tx nursing schools?

    Yin Yang replied to tea_leaf's topic in Texas Nursing

    Jaxia is right (we just survived it together). If you are self motivated and don't need to be spoon fed, patted on the back, and reassured that everything will be alright, you can make it through....

  19. El Centro/ Northlake-----Spring 07

    Yin Yang replied to Spill's topic in General Students

    I heard horrible things about Grey - not that I haven't gotten to spend my own quiet time with her lol. She knows exactly what she wants on the movie she has you do the major care plan on. I didn't...

  20. El Centro/ Northlake-----Spring 07

    Yin Yang replied to Spill's topic in General Students

    Yeah - we all felt screwed too. You should be able to sell your case studies to someone else in the class who doesn't buy the book box....you don't need them until a few weeks down the road. Keep...

  21. El Centro/ Northlake-----Spring 07

    Yin Yang replied to Spill's topic in General Students

    Not a DVD - there was a yellow card for a live HESI review. There was a PracTest code that was supposed to be an NCLEX review that I didn't use. I forget how much the book box was for 4th semester,...

  22. El Centro/ Northlake-----Spring 07

    Yin Yang replied to Spill's topic in General Students

    They are pretty much like regular interviews. The one I had with Medical City, they asked me what my goals were, what was important to me in a work environment, tell them about a conflict that I'd...

  23. Application Submitted for Fall 09 - NL\El Centro

    Yin Yang replied to jpgmavs's topic in Texas Nursing

    I just graduated with Jaxia - go with what makes you happy!!! That's why I switched careers - my money will be about the same, but I will have more time for my family and myself and that was what...

  24. ranking of tx nursing schools?

    Yin Yang replied to tea_leaf's topic in Texas Nursing

    NCLEX pass rate is a good indicator of how well prepared the students are, but consider one more thing that you don't see on the BNE: the school's attrition rate. Where I went (ECC), we have an...

  25. Took the test today with 80 questions!!!!

    Yin Yang replied to Courtney Nurse Writer's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats CCakes! I took mine yesterday (Tuesday). I had 75 questions and took it in less than an hour, but I was a little freaked because I got tons of endocrinology - and I'm secure in my endocrine...
