  10. I'm a pre-nursing student, at a juxtaposition. I want to be a nurse, I know that much adversity exists to keep me from finding a job, but I feel that it is a worthwhile pursuit. Not really because of the $$$, but I do like to help people and have an ...

    Competition is a good thing when you are competing against yourself and trying to one up on how you did the last time. However, it sounds like you do have a good start and just keep up the good work! If my mother in law, a single mother in the late 7...
  18. Hostile work environment

    Thank you! That is how I feel. I'm just waiting for my husband to find a job (contract ended 2 mos ago) and then I can explore my options. No sense in staying where I know that there are coworkers lying and manipulating the doctor. I appreciate your ...
  19. Hostile work environment

  24. Why the HURRY to Get into Nursing?

    I give kudos to you...I'm only a little older than you (32) and I'm in a hurry, but I'm not killing myself over it. I have 60 credit hrs from UNT when I was, nonetheless, an art major ( and really d*** good at it too!). My husband and I became pregna...

    I have a sub-topic for those in the Tarrant County College group: Which other schools have you applied to, or plan to apply to for RN? I just want a back up in case TCC doesn't work out.
