  1. Does Houston need another nursing school? University of St. Thomas plans on opening

    Cleopf01 posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    Houston does not need another nursing school. Graduate nurses are having a hard time finding a job as it is. I'm hearing on average that there are 300 applicants for every new internship. Yet,...

  2. Work situation, upset, opinions needed

    Cleopf01 replied to beeble's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  3. Work situation, upset, opinions needed

    Cleopf01 replied to beeble's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    "A negative attitude will not take you anywhere. I can't understand why someone with this outlook would even go into nursing." That's about as close as you can get to telling me I'm in the wrong...

    Oh goodness gracious, you haven't even begun nursing school yet, and here you are trying to tell me I've chosen the wrong field. Two years from now, I'd like to hear an updated response from you....

  15. Does Houston need another nursing school? University of St. Thomas plans on opening

    Cleopf01 replied to Cleopf01's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yep, I'm aware of this. My primary point of this thread was to draw attention to the fact that Houston is getting another nursing school (something we absolutely do not need). I wonder what type of...

    Cleopf01 replied to Cleopf01's topic in Texas Nursing

    Why??? Because I genuinely care about these future nursing students. My program is free. How common is that? Not very. Sure pursue it if you have the time and money---to not be guaranteed a job at...

    Cleopf01 replied to Cleopf01's topic in Texas Nursing

    For now, no, I don't plan on dropping out. First of all, I'm almost finished. Second, it's free--I received a full paid scholarship. Did you not find Mom/Nurse's comment, " I really don't appreciate...

    Cleopf01 replied to Cleopf01's topic in Texas Nursing

    I realize you didn't ask me to apologize. You did however make me feel that what I wrote was "negative" to future nursing students, which in itself is a wrong. I usually apologize for wrongs I commit,...
