    Nurse SMS replied to playmaker2008's topic in Texas Nursing

    My name is not.done.yet., not Jr. Admin. I am never a fan of websites set up with an obviously skewed agenda. Give me research done in a scientific fashion with more than anecdotal evidence and...

    Parkland Hospital, Dallas Texas.

    Nurse SMS replied to playmaker2008's topic in Texas Nursing

    Pretty sure almost every hospital anywhere would warrant a website on its errors. Dallas needs Parkland. Does it need to straighten up and fly right? Yes. But Dallas needs

    Houston New Grads Beware of St. Luke's

    Nurse SMS replied to applejacks36's topic in Texas Nursing

    Actually this is very common. You are becoming what is referred to as an "old new grad" and many places, not just St. Lukes, will not consider someone who is that far out from graduation. It is a...

    Resignation letter effective immediately?

    Nurse SMS replied to G00525341's topic in Nursing Career

    No, its not. The "giving notice" part is so they can find a replacement for you - whether they actually do so is not the point. The point is that you gave them adequate time to prepare for your...

    Torn between Peds Hem/Onc and NICU nursing!

    Nurse SMS replied to BSNstudent13's topic in Nursing Career

    Help! having second thoughts and feel sad

    Nurse SMS replied to amzyRN's topic in Nursing Career

    Try not to conjure up and then start worrying about things that have not even happened yet. You are nervous and fearful and that is understandable. But it has just as much of a chance of being a great...

    So I cannot find a job, thinking about relocating to Texas

    Nurse SMS replied to lampost20's topic in Texas Nursing

    This thread is over a year old at this point. I think the tendency to move to Texas willy-nilly has died down somewhat. The word is getting out that this is not the new grad mcca some misguidedly...

    Nurse SMS replied to trolloc6340's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The economy is in the tank right now and there are far more new grads wanting work than there are hospital jobs available. Some here have been looking for six months to a year or more and have applied...

    Is this still normal or do I need professional help?

    Nurse SMS replied to iamgabrielle's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you have never worked you are essentially a new grad. Probably a rusty new grad at that, since your schooling is no longer fresh in your mind. I suspect you, like most new grads, are...

    Nurse SMS replied to iamgabrielle's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You have been working on your own for just a month? You are pretty normal but that doesn't mean professional help would not be useful if you feel you need it. Obviously due to TOS we can't advise you,...

    Moving into Acute Care w/ no experience, 5+ years after graduation: Can it be done?

    Nurse SMS replied to ivyleaf's topic in Nursing Career
