  1. Requesting to not have a certain patient

    SCgirl22 replied to blondy2061h's topic in General Nursing

    I do this from time to time as well. On my floor we often have patients with quite lengthy stays, so when they are difficult we quickly learn we have to rotate the nurses so that everyone gets a...

  2. Change to nursery job?

    SCgirl22 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm a nurse with about a year and a half experience in a very busy adult med/surg unit. Lately my floor is all total care patients and feels more like a nursing home than anything else. If its not...

    SCgirl22 posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    Anyone out there work at the Woman's Hospital of TX in Houston Med Center? Just wondering what the pay is like there. I have a year of experience in med/surg but none in OB. Considering a change...

  4. ANCC RN-BC / Committed to Med/Surg?

    SCgirl22 replied to imanedrn's topic in Medical-Surgical

  5. How many times have you cried???

    SCgirl22 replied to CareBayer's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I've shed more than a few tears in the last year, but they are fewer and farther between these days. While I have frustrations, and irritable patients and families, and rude physicians to contend...

  7. New Grads after 6 months: How do you feel?

    SCgirl22 replied to RNcDreams's topic in First Year After Licensure

  8. Houston ER positions...

    SCgirl22 replied to txstunurse's topic in Texas Nursing

    Well, start with getting the resume and electronic applications done, that's definitely the first step. Go ahead and do that as soon as you can. However, I would also recommend calling and talking...

    SCgirl22 replied to txstunurse's topic in Texas Nursing

    All I can say is apply EARLY! I moved to Houston after graduating in May. I started applying for jobs here the end of Feb/beginning of March and had difficulty finding a position...anywhere, much...

  10. Roper Saint Francis

    SCgirl22 replied to FurmanGirl's topic in General Nursing

    I have never been employed by Roper, but I did some clinical rotations at that hospital during nursing school and I really enjoyed it. The staff was very pleasant, as were most of the physicians I...

    SCgirl22 replied to Annaiya's topic in General Nursing

    I am graduating from the Accelerated BSN program on May 18! Overall I would say my experience there was good. The faculty (in general) are very interested in their students success. I had a wide...
