I had no idea a bra was such a big thing!

Resigning may not be your best option. Just make sure you do proper documentation whenever you receive telephone orders. You never know the hospital next door may just have the same doctors practicing there. Are you going to quit again?

If your ADN program is at a community college and way cheaper, then go for it. You will save yourself tons of money in student loans. After getting your RN you'll certainly be able to pay for two more semesters for your BSN out of your decent RN sala...

I agree that you should concentrate on taking the NCLEX and then concentrate on the letter. If I were you I would focus on what is distracting me from passing the NCLEX. It could be the experience you had in school. Write the dean about it so it can ...

Immigration benefits for F-1 students include but are NOT limited to Work authorization, Change/Extend your status, etc.

90 days prior to finishing your program is good time. Talk to your International Coordinator for further advice. Key is: It has to be done before you graduate.

Let me clarify my earlier posting that is said NOT to be "enirely true". When I say it is NOT a smart move for an employer to petition for you, as an F-1, when retrogression is in place. I mean just that. NOT SMART. That does no mean you can't do it ...

Your last concern first:You are eligible for 12 months of OPT for each higher level of education attained. That is you may apply for OPT after your ADN, and later after your BSN, and so on. As for your first concern: It is NOT a smart move to have an...

For some reason it seems like there is like nobody from SA on this board. I have asked questions before and gotten 0 replies. Best of luck. Amy You are not alone. I am from SA too.

Couldn't agree with you more. Some orders are quite silly. SCDs for a patient who goes out to smoke every hour? Some doctors' orders are so rehersed. You know if Dr.123 is on the phone for orders that he is going to order: VS Qshift, strict I/Os, CBC...

Passing the NCLEX exam gives a sense of accomplishment. I can't imagine nursing without this exam. The current information I am aware of is that The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) voted at its December 5-6, 2006 meeting to raise ...

Your age indicate that you are still quite young. Why not relocate to some place with better opportunities? Some doors close up for a purpose.

Just a clarification on the F-1 student status: When you enter the US on a student visa or when you change your status to F-1 from the U.S, you are usually admitted for the duration of your student status. That means your departure date will indicate...

Welcome to San Antonio. Texas Board of Nurse Examiners website is: www.bne.state.tx.us. See how much information you can get from there. You may also wish to contact them directly for further clarifications. I wish you well.

Congrats!

Sometimes it's hard to keep asking questions if your preceptor keeps saying "I don't know what that is". .

Don't give up yet. Simply take time out.

I don't think it would be a bad idea to get paid a little more for some extra education. Let's put value to education. Also, let's respect those who choose the ADN/LPN route. It's a just a matter of different approaches towards the same goal. I've be...

There is a very nice LVN program at Hill College. They have campuses in Cleburne, Hillsboro, Grenrose, and Clifton.I attended the Cleburne Campus and loved it. They have a 100% NCLEX pass rate. You may obtain more info. on www.hillcollege.edu. They h...

Just wandering where you are moving from. I moved over here end of December 2005 from DFW area. So far so good!

I am doing my final semester at SAC and love it. Most RNs I meet in clinicals are actually from SAC. We kind of get some special treatment. Come join us!

I enjoy teaching...if only I didn't have to do clinicals.
