  7. Which hospitals claim to be on a hiring freeze?

    BrittRN2b replied to BrittRN2b's topic in Texas Nursing

    I don't understand how TCH remains staffed in the NICU. From what I was able to gather they only hired like one or two new grads the past few semesters. Then again, I've heard that their nurses...

  10. Is this considered nepotism?

  11. Is this considered nepotism?

    BrittRN2b replied to BrittRN2b's topic in General Nursing

    Well considering they did not know about the pending brotherinlaw sisterinlaw relationship when the hiring took place, there is no way it could have been favoritism. Basically, Sue is afraid that...

    BrittRN2b replied to dallasmommyof1's topic in Texas Nursing

  17. New Jurisprudence Exam

    BrittRN2b replied to texasrtkd's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'll be taking this since I graduate May 2009 and I don't have a problem with it. As nurses we have so much responsibility and it to our benefit to know the law. I don't see it as just "one more...

  19. Shoes for clinicals?

    BrittRN2b replied to cpartrid's topic in General Students
