    NewTexasRN replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    NewTexasRN replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

  5. Isn't the employer suppose to pay for your travel?

    NewTexasRN replied to lifein08's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, you are so right. I recently got this job in North Dakota. They wanted me to pay to get a ND license and pay thousands to relocate! They weren't willing to reimburse me. I told them no. I also...

    NewTexasRN replied to NewTexasRN's topic in MICU, SICU

  8. How to stop being a doormat before it happens.

    NewTexasRN replied to toniasday7's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    NewTexasRN posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    NewTexasRN replied to Nrsstudent09's topic in General Nursing

  13. Hospital nurses - is it really that bad?

    NewTexasRN replied to Marshall1's topic in General Nursing

    I love it when I hear someone saying they want to be nurse because they want to "help people" and they think it's a "noble profession." Yes, indeed, you do help people and if you constantly strive to...

  14. Who else love's their 12's?!

    NewTexasRN replied to jnfRN's topic in General Nursing

    I feel the same exact way. I could never do a regular 8 hour a day job. I hate the thought of being at work 5 days a week. Thank goodness I chose nursing. I recently got a job offer that would require...

  15. Did you hate your life in nursing school??

    NewTexasRN replied to Laurenslovely's topic in First Year After Licensure

    NewTexasRN replied to nite-owl's topic in General Nursing

  17. The same old battle - work vs school! Ughh..

    NewTexasRN replied to A&OxNone's topic in General Nursing

    I feel your pain. It is hard to balance school and work, especially when your job does not support you. I was working full time nights when I had to simply switch to prn status. When I told my job...

  20. Realist vs Optimist

    NewTexasRN replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    I used to say that I consider myself a realist. Meaning, that I see life for what it is. You know that old cliched saying about seeing the glass half full, half empty? Well, I think a realistic is...

    NewTexasRN replied to NeoPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    What drives me crazy is that most of these people don't even search the site first. It gets so irritating seeing the same questions over and over. What's the problem? Why should we keep answering the...

    NewTexasRN replied to NICU<3RN's topic in General Nursing
