  1. The big D---Debt.

    Trilldayz,RN BSN replied to thislife's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand why some people who have options (might not be the best or easiest options, but they are still perfectly good options) still prefer the one with the most risks...just for the sake...

  2. Did getting into nursing school seem like a life altering event?

    Trilldayz,RN BSN replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

    I'm with That Guy.... graduating and being out and licensed is more life altering than being in school. BUT I did feel a sense of relief when I was accepted in the nursing program (no longer had to...

  3. GN starting rate?

    Trilldayz,RN BSN replied to RNismycalling's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Houston, Texas (pretty good cost of living...due to sooo many options). I'm starting nights as an ICU GN at 28.85 hr. That's pretty awesome compared to the other big hospitals that don't pay that...

  5. As a Nursing student, would you prefer to have a room mate or to live by yourself?

    Trilldayz,RN BSN replied to RN_student23's topic in General Students

    I've done both...lived by myself and had Roommates... TRUST ME live alone! If I ABSOLUTELY HAD to live with someone it would have to be another nursing student, who understands how studious I have to...

  6. Is it bad to get b's in nursing school?

    Trilldayz,RN BSN replied to ooomonkeys's topic in General Students

    Question for the people with crazy grading scales: do you feel essentially screwed over in terms of how hard you worked, only to get a low grade? Or no matter how hard you work, getting that 93, 94,...

  7. Is it bad to get b's in nursing school?

    Trilldayz,RN BSN replied to ooomonkeys's topic in General Students

    Ugh...all these different scales make me mad! This is why people are at an automatic disadvantage when it comes to getting into NP programs, CRNA programs etc. I don't get what the purpose is....is it...

  8. Had an interview...now what?

    Trilldayz,RN BSN replied to JuneBugFL's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Do you think maybe they might be interviewing more people? Or they could be looking and verifying your application and References? I would probably check back in by the end of the week the following...

  10. failed lift test, may have lost job offer..

    Trilldayz,RN BSN replied to lovescapeRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    OP... just reading your post got me confused...I was thinking "what kind of job is that? Can't be a hospital, maybe military training or something"... but it IS a hospital!? Running test? Lift test?...

    Trilldayz,RN BSN replied to cpatel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    get it to a 2.5 (overall AND the 4 sciences) and I'll give you the name of a Public BSN program in TX that will accept you. PM

  13. i feel really bad...

    Trilldayz,RN BSN replied to wishiwereanurse's topic in General Nursing

    I got certified in ACLS and PALS in one of my classes in Nursing School (as a requirement to pass the class.) I was nervous too...but I got over it and did just fine. But I was never nervous enough to...

  14. How fast did you find your first job?

    Trilldayz,RN BSN replied to casnee's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Applied at places from Late January to May (to about 60 places in and around Houston, Texas).... no call backs, NOTHING (and I called back HR plenty of times at these places to follow up), until the...

  15. Seriously?!?!?!

    Trilldayz,RN BSN replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    What if your BSN program participates in high grade madness and you want to get int grad school? Our school doesn't put + or - in calculating GPA. It's strictly 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0. An A here is a 93...

  16. Interviewing for IMCU Position This Week... Any advice?

    Trilldayz,RN BSN replied to NewTexasRN's topic in General Nursing

    So sorry to hear that! Please don't give up on what you

  17. Seriously?!?!?!

    Trilldayz,RN BSN replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    This would be OK if all schools had the same grading scale.... If not, it's unfair...PERIOD. My school's scale was higher too, and I hated

  19. Did you already know that area of nursing you wanted to be in before graduation?

    Trilldayz,RN BSN replied to northmississippi's topic in General Nursing

    Well, when I first started NS, I just had to do Pedi! (I worked as a nurse tech in a Pedi clinic and in the ER, majority of the time although I floated throughout different specialties) then I wanted...

  20. Houston GN Residencies

    Trilldayz,RN BSN replied to HelpMeFindAJob's topic in Texas Nursing

    The recruiter told me on Wednesday that they have 1 more critical care GN/RN position availiable. I will ask if there are any other specialties that are willing to take a GN. *on HCA's site they don't...

  21. Houston GN Residencies

    Trilldayz,RN BSN replied to HelpMeFindAJob's topic in Texas Nursing

    Cmunst- I'm not sure! I think all the big popular hospitals (who have very formal GN programs) only hire GNs in the Spring and Winter. But I think you can call the smaller hospitals and they might...
