  1. San Antonio NP job market

    TX RN posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    So I have a little over a year left until I'm done with my NP program and I'm considering moving back home to San Antonio, TX. Can someone tell me what the job market is like? - Specifically for...

  2. ANP vs. FNP for cardiology?

    TX RN replied to Angie O'Plasty's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    An excellent discussion here folks. Keep it coming, I'm enjoying this thread. I've got a little over a year left on my ACNP progam, in TX no less, and still get conflicting information :argue: from...

  3. anyone done ADN-MSN NP?

    TX RN replied to celclt's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    UTMB in Galveston also offers several NP programs that are ADN-MSN tracts. They also award the BSN at the end of the program. For those who say that they would rather obtain the BSN first just in case...

  4. What are the BEST and WORST States to practice as an NP?

  7. Advice on catheter stabilization devices

    TX RN replied to pf88's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    All those "specific" type devices are great IMO. But in a pinch, nothing works better than some good ol' silk

  8. using patient titles on charts

    TX RN replied to sewnuts's topic in General Nursing

    That's a good story MIA. When a patient has a "title," Dr, PhD, Lawyer, whatever it may be the family is usually the first to tell me. In my opinion, depending on how people bring this up, if it's out...

  9. Any rn supervisors out there

    TX RN replied to rnj1980's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Hmmm, I've got mixed feelings on this one. I was a full-time supervisor at a facility for almost 3 years. I enjoyed the challenges but it's a position that comes with plenty responsibility. If you...
