    pink85 replied to ptrdsmn's topic in Texas Nursing

    pink85 replied to ptrdsmn's topic in Texas Nursing

    I know someone that was a clinical instructor for Concorde. Besides the fact that I got my BSN for cheaper than your LVN would cost at Concorde I would not recommend them. LVN's in Texas do not make...

  11. Misjudged EMT

    pink85 replied to Iam46yearsold's topic in Emergency

    pink85 replied to racing-mom4's topic in General Nursing

    pink85 replied to FELICIA33021's topic in General Nursing

  17. Normal temperatures =)

    pink85 replied to cherrybreeze's topic in General Nursing

    I am also a school nurse and hear that kind of stuff all the time. 98.9 is a fever because they normally run 97.0 and they should be sent home, and if they do have a fever, say 101.0, then you call...

  18. Hostile Nurses

    pink85 replied to golfergirl17's topic in General Nursing

    pink85 replied to Nishababy23's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have worked l&d nad NICU and have noticed that there is not always a lot of open positions in this area. Nurses get hired and stay there...forever! Hang in there a spot will open
