  1. Should I get my ADN or BSN based on my life goals?

    all4ofus replied to Maria2694's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It depends heavily on where you are. In my area, there is a definite hiring preference for BSNs. In other areas, there isn't. If you want cheap but still want the BSN, go public university vs....

  2. New grad took unwanted position, now what?

    all4ofus replied to KristoRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I doubt the LTC would give you half the consideration you have already given them. And on a personal level, I doubt your manager would question your decision to move on; they rarely do. She knows...

  3. Curious, re nursing and weight loss

    all4ofus replied to Bonnie86's topic in General Nursing

    I went from a desk job to a job as a tech while in nursing school. I thought I would lose weight during the summer when I was on my feet full-time, but didn't lose a pound, either summer. I swear my...

  4. DEPRESSED New grad. What are we suppose to do?

    all4ofus replied to Newgrad_STAT's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, how misery loves company! Here's my own gripe: I've been busting my a** as a tech for a year and a half now for next to nothing, and I just found out that my boss has pretty much handed the only...

  5. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    all4ofus replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    How about "terlett" for "toilet"? Goes right along with "wersh" for "wash" doesn't it? My mom actually drives me crazy for the opposite reason, though. She overenunciates everything and pronounces...

  6. Hospitals only hiring BSN degrees, and no ADN?

    all4ofus replied to CheckThePoo's topic in First Year After Licensure

    In the Dallas/Ft Worth area there is definitely a shift towards a preference for BSNs. Only one of the big chains posted that they only want BSNs, but two more have something along the lines of "BSN...

  7. potential ER interview questions

    all4ofus posted a topic in Emergency

    Hello, I am a new grad interviewing for an ER position next week. I am wondering what types of questions to expect and hoping that you guys will share some that you were asked (or that you ask...

  8. potential ER interview questions

    all4ofus replied to all4ofus's topic in Emergency

    I hate the strengths and weaknesses questions -- I've had those before for other jobs. No doubt I will have them all thought out and then FORGET the way I wanted to spin them once I am in there....

  9. feeling really down....

    all4ofus replied to mgalano's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am in my last semester and I've been where you are. You CAN pull your grade up! I've found that the Iggy practice tests on evolve seem to be more pertinent to our tests than ATI questions. Also,...

    all4ofus replied to mom35's topic in Texas Nursing

  11. Finally!! Parkland contacted

    all4ofus replied to mom35's topic in Texas Nursing

    Me too! I am so relieved, nervous, and excited! The calendar had 62 15-minute slots on it. I wonder how many positions they plan to

  12. Night shift Moms - how do you do it?

    all4ofus posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am almost a new nurse and almost all of the job postings I've applied for are for night shifts (there's not much else out there). I have two school age children and really wonder how this will...

  13. Night shift Moms - how do you do it?

    all4ofus replied to all4ofus's topic in General Nursing

    LOL at the note on the door -- I'll definitely make my own! We get a lot of door-to-door salespeople in my neighborhood (usually Verizon). I wonder if I can find a doorbell that would deliver a...

    all4ofus replied to all4ofus's topic in General Nursing

    lol, i am so glad i posted here. i am actually starting to feel like i will be lucky to get a night shift!! i am really happy to hear from so many parents who this is working for. i was imagining...

  15. Night shift Moms - how do you do it?

    all4ofus replied to all4ofus's topic in General Nursing

    I have actually been working as a tech (days) for about a year and a half now while I am school, and mostly on weekends, so I am already missing all the games. I guess that's why it's a concern for...

  16. Night shift Moms - how do you do it?

    all4ofus replied to all4ofus's topic in General Nursing

    Van, thanks for the reply! I didn't intend to be "gendercentric;" of course dads would struggle with this as well! I imagine that the hardest adjustment for me will be to sleep for only a few hours...

  17. Finally!! Parkland contacted

    all4ofus replied to mom35's topic in Texas Nursing

    Congratulations!! I received the same email but have not yet heard back from them. Have

  18. How is job market NOW for Registered Nurses?

    all4ofus replied to pat8585's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am graduating this December in Dallas/Fort Worth also, and agree, we are absolutely SATURATED with new nurses. I have applied for every job I have found, but haven't heard anything yet. Also, this...

  19. Hey New Grads Still Looking for Work...

    all4ofus replied to EmilyLucille523's topic in First Year After Licensure

    LOLOLOLOL!!!! Oh man, this little clip captured PERFECTLY how I feel right now! I'm in Dallas and I swear I've seen about 30 new grad jobs posted within a 150 mile radius for, I don't know...500 new...

  20. Pre-cepting

    all4ofus replied to NSGstudent12's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If new grad jobs are as scarce in your area as they are in mine, then I think you should go for it, for sure! If OB is what you want to do, the preceptorship may very well be your only chance to...

  21. Risk for bleeding, r/t verbiage?

    all4ofus posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    So, it looks like risk for bleeding is a fairly new NANDA diagnosis, and I can't seem to find anything that addresses terminology for the related factors. My patient has an increased PT and...

  22. I think my clinical professor hates me

    all4ofus replied to bTRUE's topic in General Students

    I don't think she hates you just because she nit-picks. There are a lot worse things she could have said, lots of examples of which are on this forum!! Only a couple more clinicals this semester,...

  23. A Pre-nursing Student who believes...

    all4ofus replied to digoe74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This actually makes me giggle. I wonder what she imagines will happen when she has a 250 lb man in a halo who is incontinent with c diff and brain damage? Does she really imagine that "her" tech will...

  24. How does your hospital recognize, reward, and motivate staff (RN, CNA, etc.)?

    all4ofus replied to krystin954's topic in General Nursing

    Our hospital does Employee of the Month, but the most recent postings I've seen are from last year, LOL! What I think would be the COOLEST thing is if the EEOTM was acknowledged in the monthly...

  25. Texas - Ideas for what program and work while studying

    all4ofus replied to jamieb's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I am in the ADN program thru El Centro (Dallas County). I go to school with a single mother who works 32 hours a week to maintain insurance while going to school with three kids (she's in the...
