  1. RN Salary in San Antonio

    Dottie78 posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    I was online at the Baptist School of Health Professions website (which is where I plan to attend ns), and it says the average RN salary in SA is $54K/yr. Is this pretty accurate for San Antonio? It...

  2. How Do You Manage Graveyard Shift & Family?

    Dottie78 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all. I'm a pre-nursing student with a shift/family question. I hear about the shifts hospital nurses work (usually 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. or 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.) My first choice would be to work days, but...

  3. Frustrated: Want to Quit Current Job to Work in a Hospital

    Dottie78 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi. I'm not sure where to post this, so I'm going to start by posting it in the general nursing forum. I'm pre-nursing, just finished up my pre-reqs for the R.N. program, but I'm currently waiting...

  4. Do you experience jealousy from friends/family members?

    Dottie78 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    It's a shame that there are those "friends" and family out there who are jealous of other's accomplishments. They should be proud and supportive, because nursing is hard (but rewarding) work. I'm not...

  5. So, tell me again why you suddenly want to be a nurse...?

    Dottie78 replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see anything wrong with more people out there wanting to become nurses. I actually think it's great that more people want to get into the profession, but I do see your point about the ones who...

  6. Hepatitis B vaccination

    Dottie78 replied to linda2097's topic in General Nursing

    I thought once you got the series (3 injections) you don't need any more after that. I could be wrong, but that's how I understood

  7. Where Do Nursing Students Work?

    Dottie78 posted a topic in General Students

    Hi, I need some advice. After the long wait, it finally looks like there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and I may be able to go to nursing school in a few months (hopefully in the fall)! I've...

    fairycari, that sounds great, but i have a question. what if i don't have any waitress/bartending experience? is that something taught on the job? if so, then i'm willing to give it a try. that is...

  9. Where Do Nursing Students Work?

    Dottie78 replied to Dottie78's topic in General Students

    These are all great replies! Thanks everyone for your suggestions. A unit clerk position would be my first choice once it's set in stone, and I've also thought about waitressing at Chili's or...

  10. He doesn't realize my dreams

    Dottie78 replied to dipsett08's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I'm sorry to hear that your boyfriend doesn't really support you or take this seriously. But at the same time, I'm glad you realize you need to get away from him, and that you are not going to...

  11. senior staff bullying?--in tears

    Dottie78 replied to crazyaaa's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to hear you're being treated this way. It's never an enjoyable experience, I know exactly how you feel. Have you ever spoken to Jenny one-on-one and told her how you feel? Maybe you need to...

  12. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    Dottie78 replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry...I realized that I got carried away with talking about my son and have gotten off the subject "Nursing Ghost Stories". Unfortunately I'm not a nurse yet, but hopefully I will have some...

  13. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    Dottie78 replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    Babs, I know you're not trying to frighten me, but I can't help but be worried, because ever since my son was about 14 months, he's been seeing things...in almost every place we've lived! (I actually...

  14. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    Dottie78 replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    My son was always sensitive when it came to strange stuff. When we used to live in our mobile home several years ago, my husband and I always heard a T.V. or music on (it was some kind of noise)...

  15. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    Dottie78 replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    I really love these stories! Please keep em' coming! I've always been interested in the paranormal, and many of these are quite fascinating and some are touching. I have a story that comes from my...

  16. To the girl who was texting all through chemistry class....

    Dottie78 replied to polka-dot's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not only that, but the ones who smack and pop their gum...oooh, that REALLY annoys

  17. Just Because You're a Nurse

    Dottie78 replied to Jaybird310's topic in General Nursing

    Do some of you pre-nursing students get this? Even when you're not a nurse yet, some people still expect you to know things that you haven't even learned about? I'm not in nursing school yet, and...

  18. To the girl who was texting all through chemistry class....

    Dottie78 replied to polka-dot's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know that can be annoying, but I can pretty much ignore the texting and chatting. One thing that did bother me was the guy in my Chemistry lab. We had to work in groups of 3, and of course, another...

  19. How did you know you REALLY should be a nurse?

    Dottie78 replied to csab's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hello csab, sounds like we're both in the same boat! My mom was also a nurse for 20 years and while I was growing up, I always thought of it as "gross", and said to myself that I "never wanted to be...

  20. Smelly co-worker

    Dottie78 replied to MA Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I would let management handle this. Don't try to tell her yourself. I know how you feel, because years ago I used to work with an Indian lady who smelled strongly of B.O. (because of her culture),...

  21. So happy! I can't believe I finally get to post one of these!

    Dottie78 replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    YAY!! Congrats, Katie! Good luck to you in nursing school. You must be sooo excited. I'm happy for you!! Hopefully I will be in your shoes in a few months. Now go and

  22. LPN's Getting No Respect

    Dottie78 replied to jjrz1037's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You're right, the pay is not the only difference between an LPN and an RN. Another difference is the education. Where I'm at, the RN programs are 2 years as opposed to 1 year for LPN, and there are...

  23. Nursing? May not have any other choice.

    Dottie78 replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    PopeJane, exactly WHY do you want to be a nurse? The reasons you have stated here mainly sound like you only want to become a nurse for the money, because of the option to move around, and because...

  24. Student Nurses

    Dottie78 replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    As a future nursing student, I am reading this with my jaw to the floor, and now I'm a little nervous to start clinicals! Seriously? Some nurses actually tell students point blank that they want...

  25. Flu shot in arm for 8 month old?

    Dottie78 replied to YogiBSN's topic in Pediatric

    What? I can't believe they would actually think about giving an 8 month old a shot in the arm! Like mostly everyone else on here said, that was probably not a nurse, but a medical assistant, and...
