  5. Weatherford

    Bea1128 replied to rachelshusband's topic in Texas Nursing

    Bea1128 replied to noiraug's topic in Texas Nursing

    I agree with TheCommuter. And I too hate to be pessimestic; however, I just graduated in December so I can tell you the job market is tough. Hospitals are wanting experienced nurses as there is an...

  10. Nursing school.... is just a bunch of BUSY WORK?

    Bea1128 replied to SilenceDogood's topic in General Students

    Yes, a bunch of busy work. The first semester I spent hours and hours on the paperwork, making sure it was just perfect. Now I do a good job and address whatever needs to be addressed. I do fine...

  13. The ugly side of Nursing

    Bea1128 replied to HumorHeals22's topic in General Students

    Vomit hasn't been an issue at all, but I've strained more than my share of poop this semester. I just hold my breath and get it done as quickly as possible. Yes, I gagged a time or two, but...

    Bea1128 replied to rectal itch's topic in General Students

  15. my kid wants a sibling, I want to start nursing school

    Bea1128 replied to la mama 310's topic in General Students

    You have to do what is right for your family. No one call tell you what to do on this issue; however, you asked for advice so here it is. The actual time at school, in class or clinicals is easy. It's...

  19. Do I Really Pose That BIG of a Threat? Or Is he Overexaggerating?

    Bea1128 replied to Gavsmom's topic in General Students

    :yeahthat: I also agreed with Seasoned Hopeful! Besides, has he never used a public bathroom? I would guess that, despite the illnesses, a hospital and those who work there are much cleaner than...

    Bea1128 replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Students

    Bea1128 replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Students
