  1. Love my old peeps.

    twentytenRN replied to sistasoul's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Well... due to their age and declining health... LTC is usually where the elderly patients are. Have you considered psych nursing? There are geriatric psych units that cater to this population. And...

  2. Standard treatment for preterm contractions?

    twentytenRN replied to resilientnurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm afraid you need to consult your OB-GYN. We are unable to give medical advice here due to the

  3. How did you discover you want to do this?

    twentytenRN replied to onthefence's topic in General Nursing

    I've known since I was a child. Loved playing "nurse" with my baby dolls. Always fascinated by the human body and how it works and the different disease processes. Couldn't get enough of watching...

  4. evidence-based nursing practice

    twentytenRN replied to 2be1nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I don't want to be rude either, but this clearly was a copy and paste. I already graduated nursing school and had to put in countless hours of answering these types of questions in proper APA...

  5. Portfolio vs. Resume

    twentytenRN replied to RNStudy's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I agree. I think it's a bit overkill for a staff RN position. Perhaps a bit "brown-nosey" too. As a staff nurse what do you really have to put in there?! Most places don't ask for a copy of your...

  6. When did you become competent with starting an IV and blood draws

    twentytenRN replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

  7. evidence-based nursing practice

    twentytenRN replied to 2be1nurse's topic in General Nursing

    What are you asking? I don't think anyone here is going to do your homework for

  8. Resources to help pay for nclex exam fee

    twentytenRN replied to Paisleylighthouse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    While this is true, that some facilities reimburse NCLEX expenses, this is typically after someone has been hired and they usually only cover the cost of an NCLEX review course since they are hiring...

  9. Portfolio vs. Resume

    twentytenRN replied to RNStudy's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    No. Had to make one in Nursing School. Never been asked for it, nor would I show it. Resume is

  10. Finally landed an interview!!!

    twentytenRN replied to McBx3's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This is the way an interview SHOULD be IMHO. It should never be an interrogation of you by them. In reality you're both trying to see if it's a good fit so it should be a nice coversation back and...

  11. Texas Health Resource

    twentytenRN replied to Bella RN's topic in Texas Nursing

    *sigh* Their HR over there works at one pace... turtle. Well, that could be said about most of the hospitals in Dallas. I don't know why. I've dealt with HR's in other metro areas and they...

  12. On an average...how much does RNs and LVN new grads make

    twentytenRN replied to #one's topic in Texas Nursing

    The Dallas area is over-saturated with new grads. People that already live here are having difficulty getting internships. And I will add that Dallas is not very LPN/LVN friendly in most acute care...

  13. New Grads or Soon to Be

    twentytenRN replied to TxPedsRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    With the extremely tough job market and loads of competition I'm not sure many people will be willing to offer up where they've seen internships posted/available. This is a very public forum and...

  14. Texas Health Resource

    twentytenRN replied to Bella RN's topic in Texas Nursing

    You're welcome for the information, anytime. Congrats on the interview. Presby Allen is still a nice place. The main problem area for them is OB... they've gone through several managers there....

  15. Finally landed an interview!!!

    twentytenRN replied to McBx3's topic in Ob/Gyn

    CONGRATS!!! This is wonderful news! I hope we were able to give you the answers you needed to help you prepare for the interview! Glad to hear it went well and enjoy your new

  16. Someone signing "RN" when they are not

    twentytenRN replied to SweettartRN's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. She needs to be reported to the licensing bureau in your state.

  17. Should I call?

    twentytenRN replied to SweetNothings's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely! I'd even go with most of the advice here and go in person and see if you could speak with him/her. If this (NICU) is really your true interest, you could explain your desire for the...

  18. What is "otho"?

    twentytenRN replied to CC918's topic in General Nursing

    *giggle* I think so,

  19. Texas Health Resource

    twentytenRN replied to Bella RN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'll try and answer as best I can as I am not an employee of THR, just have many friends/associates that either do or have worked for them. They're all happy to work for THR, their philosophies are...

  20. Texas Health Resource

    twentytenRN replied to Bella RN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Haha FAR from "expert" but just familiar with the area. I don't have much information regarding the Ft. Worth hospitals other than they are under the THR umbrella so same benefits, fair pay, fair...

  21. Follow up calls after an interview

    twentytenRN replied to b_m_prosepct's topic in General Nursing

    You should have already called to follow up on the one 3 weeks ago and it's time for you to call to follow up on the 2nd one. Always ask before leaving an interview "Thank you for your time today,...

  22. just curious which major cities in Texas dont utilize group one

    twentytenRN replied to msrn1204's topic in Texas Nursing

    groupone is basically an "extension" if you will of the dfw hospital council. any hospital that is part of them will run a groupone check. you will be hard-pressed to find a hospital in dfw that does...

  23. Finally landed an interview!!!

    twentytenRN replied to McBx3's topic in Ob/Gyn

    First, congrats on getting an interview. Now you just have to walk in with a smile and confidence and sell yourself to the hiring manager. I assume if you're applying for OB, you're truly interested...

  24. HCA Hospital

    twentytenRN replied to barkscotty's topic in Texas Nursing

    GroupOne really only applies in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. This is where they are based and cover a 100mi radius outside of DFW. People should not be mislead thinking and fearing this organization is...

  25. Texas Health Resource

    twentytenRN replied to Bella RN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'll chime in here... THR is a pretty large and well known not-for-profit health system in the DFW metroplex. Decent company to work for, they are a faith-based system but not overtly religious. They...
