    Courtney Nurse Writer replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Nursing

    I think there are nurses out there who just don't like to teach. I love teaching and loved nursing students and loved orienting new nurses. I was there once and remembered how horrible I felt my first...

    Courtney Nurse Writer replied to sryu's topic in Texas Nursing

    I live in Austin Texas. I started out with my ADN, worked for a few years then went back to get my BSN. If you want to work in a major hospital you will have to get your BSN eventually. Otherwise you...

    What's your take as a graduate nurse working nights in med surg

    Courtney Nurse Writer replied to devhrt12's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I started out on nights. It's a big adjustment mentally with those hours. But in all honesty it's a perfect shift to learn without being overwhelmed by all the day hustle and bustle. You'll do great....

    Courtney Nurse Writer replied to zzisaac's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Same. Mannequin for IVs. Oranges for injections. I think there is nothing like someone's actual arm for an IV start though. The mannequins are just not realistic enough. I think as long as everyone is...

    What crime are you talking about? If it had nothing to do with you then maybe you could write an email to the manager and explain the situation. Perhaps even get a letter from the cops who interviewed...

    Would you take NCLEX-RN when 40 weeks pregnant?

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