    nurselindah replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Are There Jobs for Inexperienced RNs Besides Floor Nursing?

    nurselindah replied to jack1971's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Don't give up. I felt that way even after almost 3 years as an ER nurse. I did eventually leave the ER to go back to my comfort zone-hospice and palliative care, but my time in ER made me a better...

    nurselindah replied to commonsense's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Legacy was not a difficult class for me. I have heard that Medical term. was extremely time consuming. I did not like co-op so much, easy but a lot of journaling that is graded

    nurselindah replied to commonsense's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Capstone UTA

    nurselindah replied to baetzel88's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I will try to remember! Research is the hardest class, content wise, I thought. On the surface it seems easy, but the "tests" they give are more difficult than they appear. You really need to read...

    UTA Co-op course versus Medical Terminology

    nurselindah replied to ddh0888's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I just finished co-op and kind of wished I had taken medical terminology. You have to be employed for at least 120 hours over the course, or you cannot take the class. I was in the process of...

    This is a hard class-the first week seems easy and then.... My advice is: read the book, use every resource material they offer, pick a really good quantitative paper in the second week, because your...
