  1. I failed a class- should I go to Pinning?

    nursemama12 posted a topic in General Students

    I failed my critical care class by 2 points and will have to retake it in the spring. I am so bummed about having to wait to graduate, but my class is allowing people who failed critical care and...

  2. I failed a class- should I go to Pinning?

    nursemama12 replied to nursemama12's topic in General Students

    I tried to be there! My car broke down and by the time that we got home to take my husband's car, the ceremony was already 30 min underway. It was a 58 mile trip! I never would have made it to see...

  3. I failed a class- should I go to Pinning?

    nursemama12 replied to nursemama12's topic in General Students

    Thanks for all of the input. I did make the decision to go. My family and I got all dressed up, had a nice dinner, and started to make the 58 mile (we live far from the school and even farther from...

  4. I failed a class- should I go to Pinning?

    nursemama12 replied to nursemama12's topic in General Students

    It has really helped reading that I am not the only one who has faced this kind of setback. Sometimes when something bad happens it often feels very lonely- like you are the only one in the world that...

  5. I failed a class- should I go to Pinning?

    nursemama12 replied to nursemama12's topic in General Students

    Well, after getting about 10 really positive phone calls from classmates I have decided to go to pinning. I am not 100% certain about this decision, but I have to admit that I feel loved by my...

  6. I failed a class- should I go to Pinning?

    nursemama12 replied to nursemama12's topic in General Students

    The good news is that I would not be the only one. I do know a couple of people who are not graduating (either HESI or Critical Care) who will be there. Do any of you know people who never went to...

    Thanks. I would actually still be able to be pinned- I am just not able to

  8. Baylor Hospital

    nursemama12 replied to Best.at.heart's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi Billie! Baylor really is a great hospital system. Their benefits are pretty good and because they are a nonprofit, you would still be eligible for the NELRP. I was hoping for a job at Baylor All...

  9. Baylor Hospital

    nursemama12 replied to Best.at.heart's topic in Texas Nursing

    It sure did! I honestly don't think that there is a better hospital in the DFW area for learning about L&D. At Parkland you would have to fight with the med students to do procedures! My name is...

  10. Baylor Hospital

    nursemama12 replied to Best.at.heart's topic in Texas Nursing

    That is great that you already have experience! What hospital are you working at? This is my first job out of nursing school and I am really excited. I actually changed careers into nursing because I...

  11. Baylor Hospital

    nursemama12 replied to Best.at.heart's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yes! I will be there in Jan as well! I am thrilled. The unit is really nice (in comparison with Parkland). It looks like we will be in class together! What school do you go to? I am at TWU in...

    nursemama12 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am a nursing student graduating this December. I have had 7 interviews at various hospitals over the last week and have just been called back for a second interview tomorrow with the unit director...

    nursemama12 replied to nursemama12's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am sorry to hear that some of you are having problems finding a job. That really sucks. My school has a career services department that helped me rewrite my resume, work on interviewing skills, and...

    nursemama12 replied to Best.at.heart's topic in Texas Nursing

    The interview this semester was a group interview. They brought in everyone that they wanted to interview on a Saturday and each of us was interviewed by a different manager. They called with an offer...

  15. Baylor Hospital

    nursemama12 replied to Best.at.heart's topic in Texas Nursing

    Well, I interviewed at both Parkland and Baylor for L&D. I was actually offered a job at Parkland this week, but I turned it down. I am in the process of interviewing at JPS and I would rather...

    Yeah! I heard about that. A HESI type test,

  17. Please Help me decide what job to take!!!!!!

    nursemama12 replied to smiles&prayers's topic in Texas Nursing

    Parkland's contract is really long IMO (with a 10k buyout!) and while I am not sure what Children's contract looks like, it will probably be less than Parkland! 2 1/2 years can be a really long time...

    Take the NET and get great grades. If you can take Patho before starting nursing school, I highly recommend doing it as it will reduce your work load quite a bit the first semester. Where do you want...

    I was at that job fair this weekend, but I only went to the L&D table. I had already had a phone interview with the recruiter. I heard back from the recruiter today and she said that the NM would...

  20. TWU Spring 2009

    nursemama12 replied to Princess_WannaBe's topic in Texas Nursing

    If you have completed a certain number of hours at TWU you get a bump- I'm not sure what that is. For my class, it was probably a 3.5, but a high NET score did make a difference. I have one friend who...

  21. TWU Spring 2009

    nursemama12 replied to Princess_WannaBe's topic in Texas Nursing

    Just wanted to wish all of you TWU hopefuls much luck! I am graduating from the Dallas campus this December. It is a great program although it is incredibly difficult. It WILL prepare you to be a...
