  1. Roll Call - Introduce Yourselves, Texans!

    editor2rn replied to TheCommuter's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hey, y'all! I moved to East Texas (Nac-a-nowhere) in 1978 and have lived in Austin for 23 years. I've been freelancing for publishers for the last 10 years. Before that I taught elementary school. A...

  2. Considering Texas

    editor2rn replied to NYSNOWBUNNY007's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm in Austin and have lived here for about 20 years. I'm not a nurse now but was told by a nurse recruiter that new RNs at Seton make about $21/hour. I live about 10 miles SW of downtown Austin, and...

  3. Time commitments for class and clinicals at ACC?

    editor2rn replied to taffy48's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm not in the same situation since I have a supportive spouse and only one child. But my single-mom friends use after-school care programs offered through the school for their elementary-age kids....

  4. Anyone getting ready to apply for Fall 2009?

    editor2rn replied to CarinaBallerina's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm also applying for Fall 2009. I have A&P II, micro, and pharmacology left, and I've finished all of my coreqs for the ADN program. I have a few degree options here--ADN, BSN, alternate...

  5. OB Rotation is Hell

    editor2rn replied to Cartman1532's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm a woman, but I had to reply. I have a male GYN who did not deliver my daughter and, man, I wish he had. I think the whole experience would have been much better. No students were in the room when...

  6. Changing Careers from Admin to RN

    editor2rn replied to rholman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm leaving a desk job I've had for 10 years (will be about 12 before I get going in NS). Before that I taught elementary school and was on my feet all day. I'm looking forward to moving again!...

  7. Places to live near Seton hospital in Austin

    editor2rn replied to soccer's topic in Texas Nursing

    Both hospitals are central, so, in general, rents won't be as cheap as they would be in the 'burbs. Off the top of my head, I'd say look in areas with zip codes 78701, 78703, 78701, 78756, 78757,...

  9. Anyone applying to ACC (Austin Community College) or Temple College for Fall 2008???

    editor2rn replied to ginabanina's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey, taffy, I'm in anatomy now, but I'm curious about your professor. Also, I'm taking micro either this summer or in the fall. Can you PM me and let me know who these folks are? Since I'm not in the...

  10. GAH! I am getting so frustrated!!

    editor2rn replied to iamcool's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you do an ADN and then a bridge program, those classes could come into play. So you may not have wasted your time. Have you talked to advisors at the university? Perhaps they can provide some...

  11. GAH! I am getting so frustrated!!

    editor2rn replied to iamcool's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    UT Austin is being sued right now because they didn't admit a white student but admitted African American and Hispanic students with lower college-entry scores and GPAs. Universities are struggling...

  12. I have had it!!

    editor2rn replied to kessadawn's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Nurses, doctors, social workers, teachers--we can all be great at the technical skills, and even sympathize, but there is something very comforting knowing that the professional you're dealing with...

  13. I have had it!!

    editor2rn replied to kessadawn's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Jan, Don't be embarassed by your emotions. Before becoming a parent, I taught preschool for kids with disabilities, and the burden on parents is tremendous. Though they love their kids dearly, the...

    editor2rn posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey, all, I'm considering taking micro and pharmacology in the 11-week summer session at the community college. I work about 30 hours a week (from home), and my 10-year-old will be around much of the...

  15. Micro and pharm in 11-week summer?

    editor2rn replied to editor2rn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for the reponse, MissJS! I'm leaning toward the online pharm this summer, leaving micro and physio for the fall. Then it's application time!

  16. the many FEARS that I have...

    editor2rn replied to Gannon1qb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm still in pre-reqs, so I don't have the post-admittance jitters. But I can say that my OB/GYN is fabulous, and he's a guy. He has four kids, and loves kids and babies, which you might not relate...

  17. "Secret Life of a Soccer Mom": Flight nurse!

    editor2rn replied to moonischasingme1's topic in General Nursing

    Me too! I was so disgusted with the dad. The young boy was obviously upset with the offer, but he's a kid and that's understood. But what a self-absorbed a-hole of a husband! You could see on the...

  18. Anyone applying to ACC (Austin Community College) or Temple College for Fall 2008???

    editor2rn replied to ginabanina's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks! I see him on the schedule, but I'm trying to get a class at the South Austin Campus. How does micro compare with anatomy? I'm in anatomy now, and it's not bad as long as I study. I work about...

  21. Anyone applying to ACC (Austin Community College) or Temple College for Fall 2008???

    editor2rn replied to ginabanina's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi there! I'm in Austin and taking prereqs at ACC. It's looking like I won't be able to apply until January of 2010 for fall of 2010. If I apply to UT's alternate master's program and get accepted,...

  22. Doubting myself...

    editor2rn replied to Helematu7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, others feel overwhelmed at times, too. I don't think you're experiencing anything unusual. Organic chem is tough. I don't know anyone who thought that class was a cake walk. And psychology can be...

  23. No Income Tax/ Pay?

    editor2rn replied to RNBelle's topic in Texas Nursing

    I should probably add to my post. Our house, which is appraised at $265K and costs $8K/year in property taxes, is 2,700 sq. feet. From all I've gathered in the 30 years I've lived in Texas, Austin...

  24. No Income Tax/ Pay?

    editor2rn replied to RNBelle's topic in Texas Nursing

    Definitely! My parents and some of my old school buddies live in East Texas. My parents live on a small lake, own two small homes next door to each other, all on about 1.5 acres, and they pay...
