    Thank you, guys.... Awesome

  2. Moving to East Texas from Northern Nevada

    RN_Pursuit2b posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    Hello everyone, If you wouldn't mind, I would appreciate any advice or pitfall warnings for a second career, 41-year-old pre-nursing student moving to the Tyler area. I would like to make sure I fit...

  3. Trapped in this office job and waiting for nursing school...

    RN_Pursuit2b replied to cherubhipster's topic in General Nursing

    Only you know in your gut if you can trust your employer or not. If you can find a way to be fair and protect yourself at the same time, it's ideal, but it's not always possible, and again; only you...

  4. Moving to East Texas from Northern Nevada

    RN_Pursuit2b replied to RN_Pursuit2b's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thank you for the great info, HappyBunny! Maybe our happy spot is somewhere in between Tyler and the Austin/San Antonio/Houston area. I was raised by country people in Los Angeles, so I had the values...

  5. Moving to East Texas from Northern Nevada

    RN_Pursuit2b replied to RN_Pursuit2b's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thank you, Carachel! Wow, I can't believe that. I've always believed there is good and bad in every race; it's the heart you look at; "fruits of the spirit," as it were. Austin sounds wonderful, and...

    Oh wow, RN1989, such great information from someone who knows it well; thank you! Those are the areas that seem to catch my attention also. Texans are so helpful. I'm looking forward to friendly...

  8. Moving to East Texas from Northern Nevada

    RN_Pursuit2b replied to RN_Pursuit2b's topic in Texas Nursing

    Good idea. If it works out with our daughter, I have always liked San Antonio also, and I think my husband would too; I was thinking maybe living in a small town outside of it. Is it a good place to...

  9. Moving to East Texas from Northern Nevada

    RN_Pursuit2b replied to RN_Pursuit2b's topic in Texas Nursing

    RN1989, just a suggestion; with your awareness and passion for what's right, what about moving into a field having to do with ethics? I bet you'd be a good lobbyist on behalf of

  10. Moving to East Texas from Northern Nevada

    RN_Pursuit2b replied to RN_Pursuit2b's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thank you Carachel, wow; right down to the nitty gritty, the kind of pitfalls I was looking for. I was hoping there was something redeeming about it, but I had some gut feelings like this. My...

  11. Moving to East Texas from Northern Nevada

    RN_Pursuit2b replied to RN_Pursuit2b's topic in Texas Nursing

    Great info, RN1989; thank you so much. Eeek. We may need to consider another area within driving distance to our family there; any suggestions on that? Where would you go as a newbie from the West?...

  12. Trapped in this office job and waiting for nursing school...

    RN_Pursuit2b replied to cherubhipster's topic in General Nursing

    I can relate to the double-life situation. When I was a secretary my former boss got wind of my interest in nursing from a two-faced employee who I thought was a friend. He didn't get rid of me, but...

  13. TMCC vs WNCC

    RN_Pursuit2b replied to Hello_Nurse_2B's topic in Nevada Nursing

    TMCC's CNA class is tough also, so I am hesitant in even applying there at 41 years old. My husband was scheduled for major surgery after I started and I wanted to make up that one day or come in...

  14. Why did you choose Nursing?

    RN_Pursuit2b replied to RNstudentwithQ's's topic in General Nursing

    I love this thread; I have something in common with most of you. I'm 41, just started pre-reqs, was trying to find meaning in the corporate world, have recovered from anxiety and panic disorder (due...

  15. Venting-Career Frustration

    RN_Pursuit2b posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I'm not discouraged, just extremely frustrated at the moment. What am I missing? Is it this impeding for everyone? Is it where I live? Is it me? Is it God trying to tell me to forget it? I've been...

  16. Venting-Career Frustration

    RN_Pursuit2b replied to RN_Pursuit2b's topic in Nursing Career

    Thank you Tweety, I'm going to learn some patience as well! Happy Nurses Week and thank you for all you do out there and at

  17. Nurses with ADD/ADHD?

    RN_Pursuit2b replied to Metron's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Has anyone tried the alternative, herbal ADD supplement called Focus ADDult? http://www.enaturalremedies.com/focus_addult_for_adult_add.htm I took Adderall and felt fabulous, but hated the crash I...

  18. Future of LPNs

    RN_Pursuit2b posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I've been wanting to become an LPN but I'm frustrated. I remember reading something a while back about LPNs being phased out. I thought it was true because there are no LPN programs in my area of...

  19. Future of LPNs

    RN_Pursuit2b replied to RN_Pursuit2b's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It really seems to depend on where you are, as was posted earlier. You're right, Spumomee, it does seem like some places just use RNs and CNAs. Other places seem to need all three. LTC seems to really...

  20. Future of LPNs

    RN_Pursuit2b replied to RN_Pursuit2b's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Thank you LVNightengale. There are times when I really miss California! Sacramento is two hours away but...well...you've heard of the Donner Party; you have to drive over Donner Pass to get there....

  21. No LPN school

    RN_Pursuit2b posted a topic in Nursing Career

    :confused:There are no standalone LPN programs in Northern NV and I don't see a lot of want ads for them. I see that most other cities have practical nursing programs, but a couple of nurses told me...

  22. Future of LPNs

    RN_Pursuit2b replied to RN_Pursuit2b's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Thank you, Amjowens, that is a huge help. I was just thinking about starting with a CNA while doing pre-reqs. I don't have an LPN program, per se, and I've been begging all the schools around here to...

  23. No LPN school

    RN_Pursuit2b replied to RN_Pursuit2b's topic in Nursing Career

    Thank you VNstudent99. I wish I knew when they were going to open one in Reno. I may have to move back to L.A.! Good luck and congratulations on finding a great

  24. Future of LPNs

    RN_Pursuit2b replied to RN_Pursuit2b's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Some excellent points and food for thought, Pagandeva2000, thank you. It is competitive here because we have one community college and one university for a population of 500,000. We're near the...

  25. Future of LPNs

    RN_Pursuit2b replied to RN_Pursuit2b's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Oh wow, I didn't even think of that; I forgot they have all sorts of things like Apprentice Nursing and Tech jobs, etc. I'll check and see what's available at the community college as far as when and...
