    TeleNurse2010 replied to LJUN71's topic in Texas Nursing

    It's true that SCCC has some evening courses, but keep in mind that only a certain number of people, usually no more than 20-25, can sign up for a class section. So, if you register after the evening...

  11. Losing Hope now that i cant find a job

    TeleNurse2010 replied to SweetP'sAunt's topic in General Nursing

    That's interesting because I hear things are bad for new grads in TX too. Just read through the TX forums to see what new grads are saying. I guess it depends on where you are applying, since some...

  19. Help! Possibly pregnant and new job??

    TeleNurse2010 replied to magn1jes's topic in General Nursing

    In my opinion, you don't need to tell anyone you are pregnant until you deem it is necessary for you to do so. Lifting more than 35 lbs will not affect you during the early part of your pregnancy,...

    TeleNurse2010 replied to SICU_Murse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
