    punkydoodlesRN replied to Morningdew2112's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Overwhelming majoring of my classmates want ED, ICU, L&D, or NICU. (We graduate next week!!!) Very few have accepted positions in these areas, though some have! Many are headed to Med-Tele units,...

    punkydoodlesRN posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have landed an interview next week at my dream job and while I feel I am prepared for most questions they may ask of me, one that I'm not is "do you have any questions".... So... Do you have any...

    punkydoodlesRN replied to punkydoodlesRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks! I'm a little familiar with the unit, as I completed my 120 hr preceptorship there, but still nice to have things to ask them! If they get to ask me, I think it's only fair that I have a few...

  10. UTMB Fall 2013

    punkydoodlesRN replied to jshanice11's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hey guys - if you read through past class threads, you'll see the same "well I was told this, I was told that" story... I KNOW its hard, believe me, I do! It doesn't make it right, but sometimes they...

  11. UTMB Fall 2013

    punkydoodlesRN replied to jshanice11's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yes. The job market is very tough for new grads, even more so now that hospitals are waiting until after the NCLEX to even offer jobs. In the class that graduated last April, only one is still not...

    punkydoodlesRN replied to jshanice11's topic in Texas Nursing

    Clinicals: You may or may not get to "chose" - it depends on the course. If students get a say, you may only get to give your preferences for days/times (there are some weekend clinicals) and not have...

  13. UTMB Fall 2013

    punkydoodlesRN replied to jshanice11's topic in Texas Nursing

    The past 6 semesters have all been 120 accepted. Due to the state mandates, I doubt that number actually decreased; if anything, it should be going up. I don't know about the applied figures for this...

    punkydoodlesRN replied to jshanice11's topic in Texas Nursing

    I like it. Of course, it has it's fair share of issues - but then again, I don't think there's a nursing school in this country that doesn't! No one can be perfect. I'm graduating next month and feel...

    punkydoodlesRN replied to punkydoodlesRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I had looked at medscape, and countless others. Anything more than around 1.8 hrs was a paid thing, which I wouldn't mind doing if I didn't already have everything I needed for my 2014 renewal!! I...

    punkydoodlesRN replied to cnmbfa's topic in General Students

    My program has pretty much the same rules... Only after 3.5 semesters, I have discovered (through the actions of my classmates, not my own) they pretty much don't enforce them. at
