My school offers MSN degrees in education ,administration, NP. For nurses with experience in these areas, which do you think would be a better long term career? I was focused on education at first, but where I live they are not paid very well, so I h...

Hi everyone! Did you have to take Pre-RN ERI tests before graduating in your last semester?? Are these questions like the actual NCLEX? Did they actually prepare you? We have already taken the Pre-RN test once to see if we score above national averag...

Hi everyone! I am thinking of moving to the Dallas area very soon. I have been looking at the Mesquite area? How is the housing, crime, schools, after school care programs Any suggestions? I am currently applying at Baylor (Dallas). I have heard tha...

Hi everyone, How much experience do you think a new nurse needs to move into travel/agency nursing? I am planning on putting a year in on a med-surg unit, then moving on to something else. Most agencies want only 1 yr med-surg experience, do you thin...

Hi everyone!!!! Does your hospital have high patient turnover on the floor? I'm a new RN and the turnover rate in our hospital is killing me. I have been discharging 3-4 pts before 930am, just to get 2-3 back by 11am, and more throughout the shift. ...

One of my friends/coworkers in the NP program told me her advisor told her about UTT wanting to get their own program. I didn't ask her any details, maybe they are just still in the talking/planning phase of it. I hope UTT does though b/c I would lov...

I started directly into the BSN program in '04. Depending on the campus determines how competitive admission will be. I was on one of the distance campuses, so there was not alot of competition, but in Tyler , they have several hundred applicants, an...

CONGRATS!!!!!!! I know you are so happy to be done with that. Good luck!!

I think UTT is trying to start their own NP program instead of going thru TT or UTA. I don't know when they will have that set, but that will be really nice. I'm in the MSN- ADMIN prgram now, and its challenging , but not worse than the BSN program. ...

Nike SHOX -They are worth every penny!!!! No other shoes have worked for me.

For the nurses 5'10" and taller, could you please tell me where you found scrubs long enough (@ least 34 inch inseam). All these catalogs and stores seem to think that a "tall" is 32 inches, as if no one over 5'8" wants to be a nurse. Thanks.

I did and had 75 q's. Found out today that I passed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:balloons: . I can finally trash all the notes I have accumulated over 4 semesters. Good luck to everyone who is waiting on results and still have to take NCLEX.

I will graduate in May 2006 (BSN), and have been thinking about the airforce. If I join it would be ~JAn 2007, after working in a civilian hospital for a year. I have 2 small children( single parent), which I plan on taking with me to live on the bas...

No you don't have to move closer unless you think you will need to go to campus to meet with the instructors. Most of the classes are online, you don't have to come to the campus to do courses until you do the Thesis classes and 1 or 2 under the spe...

you have a better chance of getting into the distance campus site ( Longview) than on the main Tyler campus because they gets hundreds of applicants. I like the distance campuses better b/c the classes start out with ~30 and you end up with 12-15 at ...

Could any of you please tell me about the programs in Houston (Baylor & UT Health Sc. Center)? I have been looking into advanced practice careers after BSN, and anesthesia is very interesting. Is the program hard to get in, make it through, etc. ...

Is this really one of the best places to work for RN's????? Is it true they have a 2 day/wk 16 hr plan?? You work 32 hrs/ wk, but get paid for 40, and they pay your hotel cost for staying overnight for your second day???? Thanks

Hi everyone, HOw long does it take you to advance in rank in the AF?? I know that as a new grad we start out as 2nd LT, how many years does it take you to get to 1st LT, Capt, etc......? ALso, Do you think that when this war is coming to an end that ...

Hey thanks, you have been SO helpful!!!!! I wish they would just have all this info on the website. MJ

SO there wont be any major airforce hospitals in the SAn antonio area, just the clinic at Randolph AFB?? Wow that really sucks!!!

thanks you all are so helpful. I'm glad to get the real story instead of what recruiters tell you. When you get assigned to a base, do you usually stay there as long as you want or do you have to switch to another in a few months? Would I have to do ...

yea I checked out the officer training one with schedule before, it just never said where it was held. I'm fixing to go to that AFB site in ALa. now so see what it says. thanks alot!!!!

Thanks guys, you have really made this more clear to me. I have more info. now to base my decision on.

I was in the process of applying to grad school here at my school, but I could just take advantage of military benefits and go while in there. I am just terrified of going into combat, and with my luck they'll send me the first month I get there-lol....
