  4. Having second thoughts...

    Ok, so you say that you are having trouble with A&P I and you are scared that you won't make it in NS. Well you are right that NS will be tougher but I wonder if you just need a better studying...
  5. Need advice regarding Nurse Techs

    The only non-nurses that I know of who give meds are medication aids. Med-aids are used here alot in LTC and in the State Schools and prisons. But that is for Texas, not sure of other
  6. Teaching Hospital recommendation for Texas

    I have looked at many hospitals in Texas and there programs online. I am in the DFW area but I think after NS that we might be moving to the Austin area. In the Dallas area I would look at Parkland...

  8. how much is too much

    Reading threads like this scare the crap out of me! If the hospitals in my area started treating their nurses like this I would have to run in another direction. I am not a nurse yet, just worked as...

  13. New New Step Dad, Mom in nursing school, too much?

    What hit me in your post was that you said you have cried every night since you quit school. You have invested way too much time and hard work up to this point. He knew what he was getting into when...
  14. focus assessment/prioritizing

    Not a nursing student yet but I like to read these posts for insight. I figured that you would help the person who can't breathe first, but who comes second? My instinct says get the person to the...

    Now that would shock the h-e-double L out of me! I feel like a lonely Dem in a sea of Rep around here. I know this has to be all in my head, but ever since my hubby and I put an Obama sticker on our...
  16. Too much science...?

    When I worked as a CNA in LTC I always worked 16 hour shifts on the weekends and was off all week. We worked 32 hours but got paid for 40 and I loved it!!! I also worked in a hospital from 7p-7a and...
  20. To the creator of all nurses..long post

    I have a question, why do you not have a job now? You stated that you asked to transfer and your manager granted you an early transfer so wouldn't that mean that you just switched units? And if you...
  21. Finding Hospital Programs

    Methodist and Charlton Methodist both have programs where they will pay for your school. And they do this even if you work just part-time or even if you are only a volunteer! But they do require a...

    I got the same as Suesquatch. I noticed that I almost always agree with Sues' posts, so I guess as someone else mentioned great minds do think
