  1. I want to do something else

    TXNurseBSN replied to smileysenior's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Smileysenior--- My heart so goes out to you. I believe most of us here went to nursing school because we like patient care and wanted to touch people's lives. Unfortunately, the current state of...

  2. Salary Or Lack Thereof !!!!!!!!

    TXNurseBSN replied to manettohillnurse's topic in School

    I work for a really big district and I think the pay / benefits are good. I only work 185 days a year and my salary is the same as when I worked on a crazy med-surg floor in which I got nauseated...

    TXNurseBSN replied to Mr. Beef's topic in Texas Nursing

    TWU's nursing program is in Dallas right behind Parklnad, not in Denton. That could make a difference to you. I just graduated from there in May 06. PM me if you have any

  7. "I don't want to do bed side nursing"...SAY WHAT!

    TXNurseBSN replied to lauralassie's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, had to throw my 2 cents in. Nursing is a wide open profession. I do not think we should judge each other. I graduated in May of this year. I worked on a med/surg floor and was miserable. I felt...

  8. Random Questions

    TXNurseBSN replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    I too love my job. I can't see myself working in the hospital setting ever again. I guess what annoys me the most is kids who are in my office at 8:00 (School starts at 8:30) and tell ask me to take...

    TXNurseBSN replied to TXNurseBSN's topic in Post Graduate Students

  11. Deeply saddened.....

    TXNurseBSN posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have been perusing this board for the last few weeks and I feel so much sadness and frustration coming from us new nurses. Was it only a few months ago that so many of us were so happy posting on...

  12. I feel rotton

    TXNurseBSN replied to hica19's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree. Plus, they should at least let you finish all of your orientation, not just half. Those 4 weeks could have made a big diiference in your

  13. Deeply saddened.....

    TXNurseBSN replied to TXNurseBSN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think you hit the nail on the head, you DO have to find the type of nursing that is best suited to your needs. I knew the first year was going to be really hard. That part did not suprise me a bit....

  14. 2nd thoughts about being a nurse

    TXNurseBSN replied to smileysenior's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Kat, Well said. I so agree with you that I would feel more poitive if I looked at the nurses I work with who have been nurses 5, 10, 20 years and they were not as stressed and unhappy as me. However,...

  15. 2nd thoughts about being a nurse

    TXNurseBSN replied to smileysenior's topic in First Year After Licensure

    SmileySenior, Your post could be written by me. I know exactly how you feel. All I feel right now is disillusioned with the nursing profession and mad at myself for not doing better research before I...

  16. Need serious advice...

    TXNurseBSN posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am a new grad who is doing my internship at a busy university hospital. Days were chaos, I felt like a chicken with their head cut off. Then I switched to nights still under a preceptor. Things were...

  17. Salary and not hourly?

    TXNurseBSN replied to manurse06's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think that sounds like a bunch of ****! Another way to take advantage of nurses. Imagine working an extra half hour every shift (which I usually do, sometimes more). For me, that would add up to...

  19. I NEED ADVICE!--Please!

    TXNurseBSN replied to lysh7777's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Just my 2 cents. I went into m/s just to get the experience even though I did not like it. I am now miserable and looking for a way out. Try to hold out until you get a position in something you think...

  23. Who does the patient assignments on your unit?

    TXNurseBSN replied to SkateBetty's topic in General Nursing

    I see a scary trend happening in health care. UAP are becoming more in control, while RN's are getting less. Now, I do not consider myself above UAP's, we are all integral parts of a team. However,...
