  1. RN to Nurse practitioner, how long does it need?

    SCSTxRN replied to sunshine304's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You might look at the frontier school - I think they require 1 year of experience for their NP program, and it's about 3500 a semester, according to their

  2. Who has an ASN to Nurse Practioner program?

    SCSTxRN replied to Dr, RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I know this is a year old - but in case anyone is still looking.. Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, TX has a RN-MSN bridge program for people with ADN. A good chunk of it is online, but...

  3. Any hospital hiring new grads? anywhere in the country?

    SCSTxRN replied to zefutebolera's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I agree, hotflashion. The nursing school doesn't breathe a word - and there are things that nursing students can do to make themselves more marketable. You listed most, if not all, of them - IMO....

  4. Any hospital hiring new grads? anywhere in the country?

    SCSTxRN replied to zefutebolera's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think it was a valid question. Most of the people who have been looking into the future of nursing as something other than a 'recession proof' job that pays better than counting money on halves...

  5. Any hospital hiring new grads? anywhere in the country?

    SCSTxRN replied to zefutebolera's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Sweetwater, TX is hiring - ICU, ER, and Med Surg. Not sure on the new grads, but if they're advertising in the paper 3 hours away, one would think they're serious. RE: Licensing, see if you live in...

  6. Complications from HCG injections?

    SCSTxRN replied to PCUSheryl's topic in Health, Stress Management

    LOL - I'd ditch my ovaries in a heart beat, and as far as more kids - I am so done - pregnancy - before which I was about 30 lbs over weight, preterm labor, steroids, and bed rest put me at a ::drum...

  7. Potential MN Nurses Strike?

    SCSTxRN replied to Brian's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Hmmm.. how hard would it be to learn

  8. Quick results or Pearson Trick?

    SCSTxRN replied to whippoorwill's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Luckyluv, under the circumstances - I'd just wait and pay for the quick results when they pop up. Evidently, it's not working the way it

  9. Quick results or Pearson Trick?

    SCSTxRN replied to whippoorwill's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Luckyluv, it seems to mean you pass - the PVT has been working for everyone I graduated

  10. Describe the Ugliest Scrubs You Have Seen!

    SCSTxRN replied to PacoUSA's topic in Nursing Humor

    I think I would have quit over that

  11. what are my rights when I feel a procedure is unethical?

    SCSTxRN replied to SNB1014's topic in Texas Nursing

    © Discrimination prohibition (1) No entity which receives a grant, contract, loan, or loan guarantee under the Public Health Service Act [42 U.S.C. 201 et seq.], the Community Mental Health...

  12. How can I make the paperwork and everything more organized?

    SCSTxRN replied to Mom02895's topic in General Nursing

    For your own use, and yours only unless someone asks to see it - the CNAs at the LTAC I work with have their own "brain" - or nursing sheet of their responsibilities... it's a legal size sheet of...

  13. uk girl wanting to study in the us(any state).i have dual nationality British and US.

    SCSTxRN replied to Uk girl's topic in General Nursing

    Quick plug for my geographic area. I live in the middle of nowhere, Texas. If you are looking for a quick (3 year), low cost, high quality RN program - I recommend Vernon College in Vernon Texas.....

  14. Any hospital hiring new grads? anywhere in the country?

    SCSTxRN replied to zefutebolera's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    definitely wouldn't go to nursing school in mass right now then.... the hospitals around here (n. texas / s. oklahoma) still has jobs for their contracts - starting in the range of 20 - 22 per

  15. Any hospital hiring new grads? anywhere in the country?

    SCSTxRN replied to zefutebolera's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Then get a job now as a pc tech or cna or something... If you're looking for job assurance, work a year in a hospital as whatever they call their CNAs and get them to pay for your school in exchange...

  16. My Dad......

    SCSTxRN replied to greenfiremajick's topic in General Nursing

    I am tentatively (slowly?) happy dancing. :yeah:I am so HAPPY for you - both for the scare, which makes it an imperative to spend more time with your dad and enjoying that time for the two of you -...

  17. Potential MN Nurses Strike?

    SCSTxRN replied to Brian's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I sincerely hope my post did not come across as calling them immoral. Nurses are no more or less amoral than the rest of society. My biggest issue is - at least according to the stories I read - the...

  18. Small Cell Carcinoma

    SCSTxRN replied to greenfiremajick's topic in General Nursing

    I'll be wrapping your whole family in prayer - and repeat, if you want to talk - yell.

  19. Is having a ADN useless these days?

    SCSTxRN replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Is it that obvious that I was pre-med? :) I ended up using it to teach for several years, though - and that has added a skill set that I don't think any number of classes could have given me. That...

  20. Is having a ADN useless these days?

    SCSTxRN replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I have a B.S. - it's just Mathematics and Chemistry, not B.S.N. I tested out of all the liberal arts stuff, though - so I guess I'm no better rounded for the BS than I was when I graduated from high...

  21. Small Cell Carcinoma

    SCSTxRN replied to greenfiremajick's topic in General Nursing

    YW - I absolutely wanted longer, but my dad was adamantly against narcotics - so I guess we were fortunate. He had ups and downs during the first four weeks, but that fifth week was amazing until...

  22. Small Cell Carcinoma

    SCSTxRN replied to greenfiremajick's topic in General Nursing

    OP, I just lost my dad to lung cancer - we had five weeks warning, and weird as it sounds - we enjoyed every day he had. I visited in person for a week, and we talked on the phone (in five minute...

  23. I need some support on my second attempt in nclex rn

    SCSTxRN replied to milkyblueberry8's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    YAY!!! Congratulations to both of you.

  24. When to start studying for NCLEX

    SCSTxRN replied to pedsfreak's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This is what I did - and it worked for me - but I grew up in the hospital, so nothing in nursing school was very 'new'. I bought a Princeton Review NCLEX book with the CD in the back. During med surg...

  25. Small Cell Carcinoma

    SCSTxRN replied to greenfiremajick's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to be completely honest with you - until I read "his arm" I thought you were talking about lung cancer - it is the only small cell carcinoma I knew. Google told me about Merkel Cell...
