  1. DNP's failing the test????

    TX RN replied to physasst's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I'm just wondering why PA's are hanging out on a NURSING board. OK. I asked for it, let the roasting begin!

  2. Questions on why to choose NP

    TX RN replied to kea137's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Seems to me that you would probably benefit more going the PA route. I'm in a NP program right now and can tell you that although no two programs are alike, the work experience is invaluable during...

  3. Kitty litter as an order

    TX RN replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

  4. Riding a Motorcycle to Interview. Good Idea?

    TX RN replied to Speed Freak's topic in General Nursing

    I would think the VMax more as the daily commuter type, not the R6. But to each his own I guess. Sounds like maybe you really don't have a transportation problem if you have 3 bikes. How's the winter...

  5. Higher incidence of depression among nurses

    TX RN replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    hehehe. Yep, lots of nurses I work with either are currently on mood stabilizing meds or really need to be on some sort of treatment. Not sure if there's any published studies out there that correlate...

  6. Riding a Motorcycle to Interview. Good Idea?

    TX RN replied to Speed Freak's topic in General Nursing

    As a fellow rider, I understand your dilemma. I personally would leave the bike at home for convenience reasons, but I have a secondary mode of transportation; my car. Leave the leathers at home, use...

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

  8. soon-to-be LPN moving to Houston TX

    TX RN replied to ad_lpn09's topic in Texas Nursing

    Check out Alvin Community College. I know it's not in Houston but once you're down here you will realize that the Houston area covers a Gig-Normous area. From Angleton to Conroe, from Katy to Channel...

  9. PICC line certification? where

    TX RN replied to mhellums44's topic in Texas Nursing

    A past employer sent me to MDACC (same as above) for their PICC training. It's a 4 day course, maybe 5, not 100% sure. But it was a great experience, a bit pricey though if you're planning on spending...

  10. St. Philips College in San Antonio

    TX RN replied to anya16's topic in Texas Nursing

    For those that can afford the Galen route, go for it. They have a strong program with one of the highest LVN licensure pass rates in the state. I graduated from there 8 years ago. Great program and...

  12. NP "Glut" on the market

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

  13. FNP salary

    TX RN replied to ragincajun24's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was under the impression that most salary on-line website only contain base salary information. There was a discussion somewhere in this BB where several NP's were chiming in that their base salary...

  14. New to ICU, Orientation and Assertiveness

    TX RN replied to JuliaSN's topic in MICU, SICU

    A commonly used approach in our unit is to have the orientee(if experienced) split the load with the preceptor. The object is to work on the flow of the unit and expectations, not on assessment or...

  16. Working and going to school

    TX RN replied to check_21's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Congrats on deciding to going back to school. It's definitely possible to work full time and attend full time, but it isn't easy. Home/family obligations should be a good indicator of what route to...

    TX RN replied to worldsas's topic in Texas Nursing

    Salaries in California are typically much higher than here in Texas so that in turn really changes "NET" pay (take home). Using allowed provisions to invest in 401k, IRA's and others would lower...

  25. Houston RN pay?

    TX RN replied to worldsas's topic in Texas Nursing

    I worked there over 7 years ago, back then it was $15 for off site parking. That's what Methylene and I were both referring to. I guess the new thing is NOT to charge for off-site parking. And yes,...
