    editor2rn replied to hgorrondona's topic in First Year After Licensure

  3. Considering relocating to the Texas area from Arkansas.

    editor2rn replied to JasWebbBSN-RN's topic in Texas Nursing

    RN2B is right. The bigger cities have literally thousands of applicants. That's not to say you can't get hired. I don't think employers care where you're from, just that you'll fit well into their...

  5. Scared to death..but giving this a shot.

    editor2rn replied to Kimchula's topic in Nursing Career

    I switched careers, too, and it was scary going back. But it will all work out. Just one day at a time. I would advise you to skip the LPN and go to the RN. Many hospitals aren't hiring LPNs any...

  16. Let me be clear there is NO nursing shortage!!!!!!!!! and now THIS????

    editor2rn replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would think that certain experienced foreign nurses would be happy to take entry-level jobs to get their foot in the door here, which would affect the number of new grad positions. I don't see why...

  20. Austin Community College Fall 2009 Entry

    editor2rn replied to beccabee's topic in Texas Nursing
