  1. Parkland ER Residency July 2013

    ijuanabhappy replied to just3ofus's topic in Texas Nursing

    Does anyone know anything about the OR Residency? How many spots, are they finished interviewing, etc? I applied almost 2 weeks ago and my status still says "Applied". The position is still

  2. Methodist Dallas Internship

    ijuanabhappy replied to JacSeqsurg's topic in Texas Nursing

    Are they still hiring for the OR? I never saw the posting. The only one I see is for

  3. Austin, TX ORs?

    ijuanabhappy replied to mspackman's topic in Operating Room

    The hospitals here are either part of the Seton or St. David's network. Do you have OR experience because the hospitals here never have an OR Internship. I worked at Seton for many years as a...

  4. Thinking of giving up school nursing position for Home Health... need advice

    ijuanabhappy posted a topic in Home Health

    I have been working for a year at a school for children with special needs. Although I LOVE working with the kids, I feel like I need a change for many reasons. I work in a health center with other...

  5. Removed staples a day early!

    ijuanabhappy replied to nurseklg's topic in Home Health

    I don't think the one day will matter. Did the wound look good? closed and approximated? No sign of infection? 55 staples seems like a lot for a knee. The nurses at the office will probably be...

  6. Thinking of giving up school nursing position for Home Health... need advice

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in Home Health

    There are different types of home health. What you are referring to is I believe called extended care home health, or private duty nursing. This is where you take care of one patient in a home on...

  7. Home Health RNs: mileage reimbursement?

    ijuanabhappy replied to iridium54's topic in Home Health

    The job I just accepted said they pay mileage at 0.40 cents, but this is only from my home to the first patient house, and then the last patient house back to my home. Do most places reimburse...

  8. Thinking of giving up school nursing position for Home Health... need advice

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in Home Health

    Thank you so much, paradiseboundRN. That was very helpful. Do you think it is possible working full-time doing home health and going to school (online RN to BSN)? And there is a 6-point per day...

  9. Thinking of giving up school nursing position for Home Health... need advice

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in Home Health

    I guess I'm scared that this full-time salaried position will turn into working 24/7 due to all of the mountains of paperwork I hear about. I also want to do the RN to BSN online this year and my...

  10. Thinking of giving up school nursing position for Home Health... need advice

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in Home Health

    Thanks for the replies! I'm just curious why you both did not last long in home health. This is a salaried position, and while it is a good amount, I have heard that in reality you work more than 40...

  11. Baylor June 2013 Internship for not so new nurse

    ijuanabhappy posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    Hello, I recently applied to the Baylor June 2013 Internship for the OR, and still have not heard anything. Just wondering what my chances are. I graduated in May 2010 with my ADN and have worked in...

  12. Baylor June 2013 Internship for not so new nurse

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in Texas Nursing

    I received a rejection email the day after this post. I doubt my resume made it past human resources since I don't have a BSN. Just wish I knew of some OR fellowship or program in Texas where I...

  13. Anyone knows any OR training programs for NON new graduates?

    ijuanabhappy replied to iToniai's topic in Operating Room

    I am also interested in Perioperative internships or an OR position that is willing to train. I currently live in Texas but would possibly be willing to move. I've been a nurse for almost 3 years,...

  14. Baylor June 2013 Internship for not so new nurse

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thanks for your reply! Well, when I go back and check the status of my application, it does not say "accepted"... it just says "completed" and I have the option of review and editing or withdrawing....

  15. Help! I really messed up and don't know what to do

    ijuanabhappy posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just started working Home Health prn and today was my first day alone. Last week I drove around with a couple of nurses. Since I am not quite organized yet and don't have my groove down, I wrote...

  16. Hopeless, depressed, jobless in Austin

    ijuanabhappy posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    I have really botched up my first year of nursing by trying to find my niche and now I don't know what to do. I'm not considered a new grad anymore, yet I am not really experienced either. I've had...

  17. Telemetry versus Med/Surg floor for beginners?

    ijuanabhappy posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am a nursing student with one year left to go. I just wanted to get opinions on what floor would provide more valuable experience for a student to get experience and their foot in the door. I'm...

  18. Help! I really messed up and don't know what to do

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't post it on Facebook. Allnurses on Facebook chooses several posts (from allnurses.com) to post on their Facebook page. Mine was randomly chosen I guess... I had nothing to do with

  19. Help! I really messed up and don't know what to do

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks everyone! Really appreciate all of the responses and those from Facebook. When I realized my notepad was not in my bag, it was too late to call the patient or go back by the home. The next...

  20. Regret Leaving Nursing Too Soon

    ijuanabhappy replied to Omibashu's topic in Nursing Career

    I think you picked up some solid skills working 8 months on the floor. I graduated in May 2010 and "only lasted" 2 months on the floor, so 8 months seems like a good while to me. After working in...

  21. Am I in over my head?

    ijuanabhappy posted a topic in Home Health

    I recently was offered a HH position for RN prn skilled nursing visits. I graduated 2 years ago, but do not have much hospital experience. I tried med/surg for a couple of months but just hated it...

  22. Relatively new nurse: dialysis or school nursing??

    ijuanabhappy posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm needing some opinions from anyone who has worked in either one of these areas. I graduated two years ago, however my experience has only been in the clinic setting with little hands-on. I have...

  23. Relatively new nurse: dialysis or school nursing??

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    I do have over a year of nursing experience. In the clinic while it was mostly phone triage, I did get to draw up some meds, assess ortho patients, remove staples/sutures, and on occasion give...

  24. Relatively new nurse: dialysis or school nursing??

    ijuanabhappy replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the replies :) I think I will accept the school position. I'm just a bit nervous because of lack of hands-on clinical experience, but since this is a school for children with special...

    ijuanabhappy posted a topic in General Nursing

    After a few failed attempts over the last year at finding a nursing job I am suited for, this relatively new nurse is at a loss. I think there must be something wrong with my brain. I am...
