  1. Small Help needed with Assessment!!!!

    twentytenRN replied to rita.kumar83's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, generally you examine all over. Edema can happen anywhere and could be caused by different pathologies. First place to look in a bedridden patient would be the sacrum for sacral edema. Fluid...

  2. Is this a problem? taking your neighbors blood pressure

    twentytenRN replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    Would not do it. Even for the sweet little old lady. Sweet little old lady could have a sweet little grandson that's a lawyer and a sweet little lawsuit happy family. You just never know. I'd...

  3. Question about cover letter

    twentytenRN replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    A nurse recruiter is an RN who works in recruitment in the HR dept of the hospitals. They aren't freelance that you contact to help you find a job. Call the HR dept and ask for the name of the nurse...

  4. Jurisprudence Exam

    twentytenRN replied to american idle's topic in Texas Nursing

    Check out this post: https://allnurses.com/texas-nurses/nurse-practice-act-462633.html#post4183034 You must take it and pass it before the TX BON will issue you a license, even if you pass

  5. Nurse Practice Act exam???

    twentytenRN replied to FLOBRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Nah. I think it took me around 30 minutes or so to do the whole thing. Lots of stuff again was common sense and others I had to reference real quick. It's just to make sure you understand the NPA...

  6. Anyone keeping track of who's getting hired, where?

    twentytenRN replied to hotflashion's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Problem being that people have posted this type of information here and what were once "fruitious markets" have become swamped and people have flocked to the "advertised areas." I think a lot of...

  7. E-mailing Recruiters

    twentytenRN replied to mindaay's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm not sure that it will give you an "edge" but with it being a professional communication I would be inclined to include at least "RN" after my name in the closing of the email. Up to you if you...

  8. Nurse Practice Act exam???

    twentytenRN replied to FLOBRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I think you are referring to the "Nursing Jurisprudence Exam." http://www.bon.state.tx.us/olv/je.html It's specific to TX and it's easy. All newly licensed nurses in TX, either by exam or...

  9. I am a teacher wanting to change my career to nursing. Advice please!?

    twentytenRN replied to erman10's topic in General Nursing

    Most nursing programs are going to be daytime programs, including most in the Dallas area as well. They really emphasize that they discourage you to work and attend nursing school, especially working...

  10. First hospital job (pre-nursing student)

    twentytenRN replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats on the interview and good

  11. The Line Up... In The Hallway?

    twentytenRN replied to Flynurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I don't really have a lot of experience in geriatrics but I'd hedge a bet that several of these patients have sundowners and thus they are more active and restless on the evening shift. They...

  12. Help Please....with my new grad resume

    twentytenRN replied to MartinezPJRNBSN's topic in General Nursing

    You're welcome, and thanks. I had to look for many months and in that time had many doors slammed in my face like everyone else. Persistence is key, and so is a willingness to relocate. I don't...

  13. Help Please....with my new grad resume

    twentytenRN replied to MartinezPJRNBSN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not comfortable "proofing" someone else's resume but perhaps this site may help you determine what to include. I used it and landed a new grad job.

  14. CNA diary - I thought we are at the same team, and nursing is a team work ???

    twentytenRN replied to littlegoat's topic in General Nursing

    Not flaming but rather giving advice. I'd be very careful doing this type of thing if I were you. I'd worry about my own self and my own job instead of playing investigator and tattle-tale to higher...

  15. How to prepare for your first interview?

    twentytenRN replied to sweetmya's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you have good solid prior employment history, yes you should include it if you don't have any "nursing" related work experience. It shows responsibility and accountability. You can always discuss...

  16. Just a freakout.

    twentytenRN replied to MissCharlieRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'd continue to follow-up on a weekly basis. There's so much competition for new grad jobs right now. I'd also never put all my eggs in one basket and hold out for my "perfect job." Take whatever...

  17. Applying for jobs

    twentytenRN replied to saraaileen76's topic in First Year After Licensure

    YESTERDAY!!

  18. Does anyone know about the OR tech. position.

    twentytenRN replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    OR techs, aka Scrub Techs or Surgical Techs are responsible for the opening and setup of all sterile supplies to be used during a procedure. They then "scrub in" and dress in sterile gown and gloves...

  19. Should I not include this in a resume?

    twentytenRN replied to KungFuFtr's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. When I've applied to jobs in other areas other than the one I currently reside, it's been obvious to the prospective employers that by applying, I'm either in the process of relocating or I'm...

  20. MRSA, Is this true?

    twentytenRN replied to cute2's topic in General Nursing

    I've also heard this to be true. I'd bet a large lot of us are already colonized with it. Kinda like chronically ill kiddos that are in and out of the hospitals... a lot of them are colonized with...

  21. What do you think of my ESSAY?

    twentytenRN replied to emrebeth3's topic in General Nursing

    I think it sounds good. I'd probably rewrite the first sentence or two. The tone of "I never really could answer the question of what I wanted to be when I grow up..." and "although healthcare has...

  22. Any tips/ advice for Texas nursing schools?? Planning to relocate

    twentytenRN replied to rosebud123's topic in General Students

    Yes many ADN programs in DFW have a point-based admission process. You gain points in different areas such as points for each one of your prereqs complete, your cumulative GPA for those prereqs, your...

  23. How to prepare for your first interview?

    twentytenRN replied to sweetmya's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Not really. You go online, apply, if they're interested they call you for an interview. Sometimes they do initial phone interviews that are conducted with a representative of HR and other times you...

  24. Help! Homework Question!

    twentytenRN replied to inteRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You'll find that people here are unwilling to do your homework for you. I would suggest you read your NPA and read up on "mandatory board reportable" offenses and the peer review process. Therein lies...
