  1. Dallas area hospitals

    ReWritten replied to Cmunst45636's topic in Texas Nursing

    I graduated in May, passed boards in June. I feel like I applied to every single new grad position I saw in Dallas and surrounding cities, and even positions that didn't specify 1yr experience...

  2. Major career and life crossroads

    ReWritten replied to dthfytr's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps not as exciting as ER, but what about Public Health nursing? Would that be an

  3. RN residency/ extern-ship or just apply for a job

    ReWritten replied to main's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I graduated in May... I started applying for jobs/residencies around February. I wanted to go into a residency program, but they are overwhelmed with applicants, and some programs only take about 10...

  4. How many of you NGs are on nights?

    ReWritten replied to netglow's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's only been 2 weeks since I started working, but I work nights and I also precepted nights too. Not only is the shift differential nice, but nights have a slower pace to them. Yes, I don't have a...

  5. Employed '09 and '10 grads: Are you where you wanted to be?

    ReWritten replied to Lovely_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I graduated in May, passed NCLEX in June, and I was just hired for MedSurg/Telemetry. I don't actually start for another week. It's not in the hospital I want (But hospitals in Dallas are pretty much...

  6. C's In Nursing School

    ReWritten replied to redraider1977's topic in General Nursing

    As my professors excitedly told my class, C's mean Continue. No use worrying about it, nursing school is quite difficult. Hiring people don't look at your grades/GPA unless you're trying to get into a...

  7. Any Motivational Stories?

    ReWritten replied to ohmylove's topic in General Nursing

    I failed Med-Surg 1 the first time. I felt pretty defeated and upset about it because it was the first class I had ever failed in my entire life and let nursing school be the best time for that to...

  8. What to choose for preceptorship?

    ReWritten replied to smallnurse10's topic in General Nursing

    How does your school determine preceptor spots? My class is 130 people, and they determine ours based on our HESI scores and what clinical faculty have reported on us. The only people in my class that...

  9. The Patient in Bed 519

    ReWritten replied to LifelongDream's topic in General Nursing

    I just finished my preceptorship in a NeuroICU, and we had the same thing. The first time I experienced it, the pt in the room had just passed and we had taken him down to the morgue when his call...

  10. HESI EXIT RN Test

    ReWritten replied to 2bnursek28's topic in General Nursing

    I'm really not trying to be a negative nancy, but I just wanted to point out it's actually a violation of the contract you sign before taking the HESI test to share actual questions. Technically...

  11. Does Anybody Work at HUNTSVILLE HOSPITAL!!!!!!!!!!

    ReWritten replied to RN4S22's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I'm a nursing student at UAH, so I'm precepting for my final semester. But thanks to the school shooting that occurred this afternoon, I can't precept for a while (school is closed to until the 19th)....

  12. Does Anybody Work at HUNTSVILLE HOSPITAL!!!!!!!!!!

    ReWritten replied to RN4S22's topic in Alabama Nursing

    No, I don't work there (I applied to numerous tech positions but gave up after not getting any feedback). I've done some clinicals there and am currently precepting there right now. Nice hospital and...

  13. Does Anybody Work at HUNTSVILLE HOSPITAL!!!!!!!!!!

    ReWritten replied to RN4S22's topic in Alabama Nursing

    HH is really competitive to get in. It seems like everyone I know who got a job there either precepted there or knew enough people there to get them in. It's pretty competitive. Plus, there's about 3...

  14. Abortion in nursing school rotations?

    ReWritten replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Students

    It depends on the school. In my rotation, we weren't allowed to be anywhere near fetal demise cases or go in the rooms (which were marked) that had one. Your course manager will most likely let you...

  15. I am allergic to...

    ReWritten replied to SteffersRN87's topic in General Nursing

    I had a patient that seemed like she was allergic to EVERYTHING. The list was ridiculously long, but when I talked with her, she had developed a chemical allergy. I felt bad for

  16. New GN's Question About Resume and Reference

    ReWritten replied to HappyMeNow's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in the same boat. About to graduate in May, and never had a job in healthcare. What my instructor told us to do was to list all our clinical hours/experiences in the resume. Example: 126...

  17. Failed one Subject in Nursing program

    ReWritten replied to longsilver's topic in General Students

    I was in the exact same boat as Meghan619. I failed Med-Surg 1, and I was devastated. It put me a full year behind in graduation, but as much as I beat myself up over it, I'm kinda glad it happened...

  18. The Monster: Med/Surg

    ReWritten replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with most of what EMTRN6785 said. Med/Surg is the backbone of nursing. If you can't get the basics and knowledge of med/surg, then other areas of your nursing practice will suffer. But you...

  19. Extern/Intern programs for ICU in Dallas

    ReWritten replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    I'm from the Dallas area, although I'm going to nursing school in Alabama. I know Parkland does a ICU residency program. I talked to a nurse who went through it and she had a really good/positive...
