   Our Press Ganey results just came in, out patients are not happy. And we didn't meet all of our KPIs from last year. There are quite a few pleasant and supportive people I work with, but they can't...

   emtstudentnurse replied to emtstudentnurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

   Only about 10 nurses actually treat me like that in general, out of maybe 50 nurses total. This one nurse with the newspaper does this to me on a regular basis. Lately, I've heard that it's harder...

9. Moving to Tyler- Have a Few Questions

   emtstudentnurse replied to emtstudentnurse's topic in Texas Nursing

   Crimson- I think I'm confused on the part about the pay per year. Do you mean that's the yearly salary if you work full time (40 hrs/wk)? Also, $19.75/hr, I'm assuming that's RN, right? One more...

10. Moving to Tyler- Have a Few Questions

    emtstudentnurse replied to emtstudentnurse's topic in Texas Nursing

    I think the biggest different in pay has to do with whether or not it's LVN or RN. I know I'll be making $2 less an hour regular pay and $4 less an hour on shift differential. I've decided to go...

    emtstudentnurse replied to emtstudentnurse's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thanks so much. I've been looking at the area on Broadway south of the loop. Also, do you know how long it takes from the time you accept a position and do a drug screen to finish the background...

    emtstudentnurse posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    I'll be moving to Tyler in late August. I'm trying to find an apartment, but almost everyone I call tells me they have a waiting list. Is this because of the college or just normal for there? Which...
