I just graduated from Excelsior in December. I used Chancellor but bought the study guides on ebay. Much cheaper.

I couldnt imagine working in any other dept. Who needs TV when you work in the ER? I definately like the people I work with.:monkeydance:

I've decided to finish my bachelors in art degree at a very reputable college. I was told that since I have my ADN they can award me a bachelors in applied science for nursing. Will I be able to use this BAS if I decide to pursue graduate level nursi...

I have never used it but the ED that I work at didnt care for it so much that they went back to paper charting. We are currently switching to T Systems.:innerconf

A couple of weeks ago we had an ambulance bring someone into the ER with conjunctivitis.

I've worked at St. David's North Austin and had a bad experience there then I transferred to Georgetown where I am happy. They are all owned by HCA but each hospital is different. I say check it out and make up your own mind.

I graduated December 15th and had my permit shortly after Christmas.

Currently, Scott & White is about to open a new 300+ bed hospital in Round Rock, Texas. They're hiring big time right now. I worked for S&W Temple about 12 years ago and its like many large county teaching hospitals. It has so many interns ...

I am considering applying to UT Tyler's RN-MSN program. Just wondering if anyone is currently enrolled or had any experience with them. Just wondering about the pace of the classes, if there are a lot of group projects, how do they arrange clinical s...

Graduated December 2006. Was previously a Respiratory Therapist for 15 years. I now work ER/ICU.

Hello CRNI. I currently work in the ER at St. David's/Georgetown and love it. I grew up in this area and like ER dude said the Round Rock and Georgetown area is nice. Hot summers and mild climate the rest of the year. Georgetown has a large Sun City ...

i agree with cardiacrn2006. i didnt read every post but this is a sad discussion. i am a rn/rrt and i dont understand how anyone would even think that denying a severly hypoxic patient, copd or not, oxygen would be the right thing to do. hypoxic pati...

None for me either. I work at an Austin, Texas Hospital.

Acute Care Nurse Practitioner. There are a lot of FNPs (Family Nurse Practitioners) but the BON only lists 3 ACNPs in Travis County. I have no idea how accurate that information is. That's okay. I've decided to apply for the FNP program through TAM...

I thought TCN was the "middle man". You can get all your materials straight from Excelsior without going anywhere else. If you want extra materials you need a publishing company like TCN which costs extra money.

I didnt read all the chapters. I'd by a second hand study guide. I prefer the Chancellors. I would print the content guide off of Excelsior's sight and then print the notes (Lisa's notes)and the SETH test from the yahoo group file. The only textbook...

I'm also curious to know. I'm considering enrolling in a RN-MSN program to become an ACNP. I've looked at the BON website in the statistical information and saw that there are only 3 ACNPs in Travis county(Austin), none in the surrounding counties, a...

If you're going to buy notes off of ebay I'd only buy hers. But like SandGram said, most of the notes that are selling on ebay are found free in yahoo groups in the files section. A popular group is rnstudygroup. A few others are RNstudentsforum, a...

I feel it depends on the individual and what they can handle. I am a new grad nurse going straight into ICU but I've been working in ICUs for the last 12 years as a Respiratory Therapist.

I've had the same experience although I've pm'd her with my email 3 times. She didnt seem to want to share with me because she didnt know who I was. So I politely introduced myself. Hopefully that helps. Plus, it is the holidays so she is probably bu...

I'm taking the NCLEX February 27th. So I've recently finished the Saunders review and I'm ready to begin Suzanne's plan. I sent her a pm and hope to hear from her soon.

Many of the nurses I know that dont work do it for a variety of reasons such as they marry well, had kids and dont want to work anymore, decided to retire, have an illness, cant work because they got in trouble, their back cant take anymore, changed ...

AMEN to that.:yeahthat:

Hello, Im 37 year old mom of 3 boys. I've been a Respiratory Therapist for 15 years and now I've just graduated with an ADN. Currently, I'm preparing for NCLEX and applying to BSN programs. To new students, I discovered this community about 2 years a...

December 15th Grad.:smiley_aa Now for the NCLEX-RN.
