  1. Does anybody had seen a nurse with tunnel earrings?

    txnursingqt replied to Hacker-Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I would have to say that probably over half of the people in my pre-req classes that are applying to NS for next fall have piercings and "emo" style hair. Sorry but that is the norm now. That is no...

  2. Discouraged with my program

    txnursingqt replied to JillFRN's topic in General Students

    Wow I thought that nurses did have to know how to do speculum examinations. I learn something new

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

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

    Darn you!!! I thought everything was set at with NICU and now you go and throw another wrench into the deal! LOL My first instinct is to go with Children's. Since they have better benefits and right...

  4. Best state

    txnursingqt replied to Codeda's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Try the DFW area and North Texas. I go to www.grayson.edu and they do not have a wait list. They strictly go by a points system. If you want to get your BSN then try www.twu.edu. And the Dallas...

  5. Has anybody taken a PBDS before? (Performance Based Development System)

    txnursingqt replied to Kurious RN's topic in General Nursing

    I worry about taking this test eventually. Here in Texas (especially) DFW alot of the hospitals are now requiring it before they hire you. I have had several seasoned excellent nurses not pass the...

  6. Student aggravated with Nursing Staff

    txnursingqt replied to Nnifer75's topic in General Students

  7. bsn question

    txnursingqt replied to 2bnursesim22's topic in General Students

    this question made me very curious about what is allowed here in texas. i went to the texas board of nurses site and found out that you can sit for lpn nclex if you have completed the requirements for...

  8. My husband wants me to quit

    txnursingqt replied to litebrightgirl's topic in General Students

    Girl you have got to set him straight NOW. My hubby and I got into an arguement about a week or two ago. He was feeling very insecure and felt like he was not getting enough attention. And right now...

  9. Things to get out of the way NOW if you are starting in the Spring

    txnursingqt replied to AtomicWoman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That is a good idea. I also set the alarm on my cell phone that way if the electricity goes out at least one of my alarms still goes off. I have a battery in my alarm for backup but it has failed me...

  10. Forced to stay at work...?

    txnursingqt replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You all have a very valid point and I don't think a nurse could get it all done so I totally agree. I will say that when my mother was DON she had to go in LOTS of times when there was no CNA to...

  11. Working as a NA w/out being certified?

    txnursingqt replied to Sensoria17's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I know here in my area of Texas all of the local hospitals hire without being certified. The nursing homes require it but not the hospitals. I am thinking of going back to work in the hospital...

  12. Forced to stay at work...?

    txnursingqt replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Being a CNA when you leave at the end of your shift the nurse is there to take over the responsibility for the patients. That is why in most cases CNA's are NOT mandated to stay. The patient's are...

  15. Med Surg Question

    txnursingqt replied to Jenny67's topic in General Students

    Thank you for posting these books to read. I am definitely going to get these books. I want to be the kind of leader/manager that is fair and respectful but at the same time gets the job done....

  16. Med Surg Question

    txnursingqt replied to Jenny67's topic in General Students

    I understand what you are saying and I hear you. I am sure you do get tired of having students. But when you say that the floor nurse isn't paid to have you there, well I think yes you are. You are...

    txnursingqt replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    txnursingqt replied to moncj66's topic in General Students

    txnursingqt replied to qajen's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Sounds like a great idea. Where I work they give us gift certificates on our b-day and at christmas. They also recoginize us when we go above and beyond and send us thank you notes at home. All of...

  21. Considering FT agency, a few questions...

    txnursingqt replied to NoMoreStudying's topic in Agency Nurses

    I staff for an agency and can answer some of your questions. PRN shifts do get hard to come by during the summer months. That isn't to say that they aren't there, it is just you never know and have...

  22. Two-faced coworkers

    txnursingqt replied to chenoaspirit's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    that reminds of me of how it is said that people treat strangers and others so nice and with such good manners but then they treat their friends in and family like crap just because they know they...
