  1. NURS 3425 Holistic Health Assessment

    commonsense replied to amyrnfa's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Don't feel bad Rosi, you're not the only one who feels like she should have included more. I've been working on the Week 2 Assignment and each portion is taking up a full page, now I feel like I'm...

    commonsense replied to FilledWLove's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  3. New Grad.. No Job(Of Course).. What should I do in the meantime?

    commonsense replied to FilledWLove's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Most of the larger hospitals are going to want experience or new grads with stellar resumes. Try applying at smaller and more rural hospitals. The ones I can think of off the top of my head are...

  4. Why do they give so much ridiculous, insignificant homework?????

    commonsense replied to Overwhelmed1026's topic in General Students

    They're trying to break you, look for the light at the end of the tunnel and go for

  5. New Grad.. No Job(Of Course).. What should I do in the meantime?

    commonsense replied to FilledWLove's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If your situation permits look into applying for jobs outside of California. From what I hear new graduate nurses are basically given no shot up there. Small towns in Texas are always looking for...

    commonsense replied to taraer1206's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sweetheart, you're 23, 24 if you have to look at it glass half empty. Let me rephrase this "Twenty-Frickin' Three." You're only as old as you think you are, but you should not be feeling old at 23. I...

  7. Man Enough

    commonsense replied to drsonny's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Judging by the avatar pictures from most of the posters here I'm guessing this is going to turn out like the movie Old School, count me in

  8. First time a patient didn't like me

    commonsense replied to Clovery's topic in General Students

    Like you said clovery, the pt. was confused. Don't take it personally, nursing is a profession that requires thick skin, might as well thicken up now while you're in

  9. Do male nurses wear scrub jackets???

    commonsense replied to Nolander's topic in Men in Nursing

    Hate to be the bearer of bad news Nolander, but male nurses do not wear scrub jackets when it gets cold. We've got to overcompensate for our choice of career, man up and deal with the

  10. Guys, do you take this personally?

    commonsense replied to bethannie's topic in Men in Nursing

    Saves me from having to insert a foley or do peri-care, not sure why I'd take it

  12. NURS 3425 Holistic Health Assessment

    commonsense replied to amyrnfa's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    You're right Amy it does seem pretty repetitive. The toughest part is that the example follows a completely different format, a pregnant woman. I guess your right though, just hold your breath and...

  13. NURS 3425 Holistic Health Assessment

    commonsense replied to amyrnfa's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I'm working on the assignments right now and having just as much anxiety as you ladies are. I just feel like I'm leaving something out, probably just anxiety though. Do any of you know what we use as...

  14. N4455 - Shadowing advice

    commonsense replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I'm in NURS 4455 along with you Meriwhen, I have the same concerns as well. I have already found the nurse leader I'm planning on following, but not really sure what I should do. From what I can tell...

  15. NURS 3425 Holistic Health Assessment

    commonsense replied to amyrnfa's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    It's nice to hear about the first test, I'll be taking it in the next couple of days. N4455 is looking alright so far. There will probably be a decent amount of work, but it doesn't look like it will...

  16. NURS 3425 Holistic Health Assessment

    commonsense replied to amyrnfa's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I'm in there with you Amy, taking it along with NURS 4455, Nursing Leadership and Management. The Health Assessment class does appear to be pretty time consuming, I'm about to get started on the week...

  17. Fastest Way Up the Ladder

    commonsense posted a topic in Nurse Management

    I'm planning on getting my dual MSN/MBA degree once I graduate from a BSN program and I had a few questions about nursing management. I've heard some of the fastest ways to move up the ladder are ER,...

  18. Difficult Career Decision

    commonsense replied to CoeKohawk11's topic in Men in Nursing

    Weighing the options from my perspective it seems like like you should take the ER job. You enjoy it, plus if peds unit can be "closed dow quite a bit due to low census and lack of patients," you're...

  20. The University of Texas at Arlington

    commonsense replied to zoeyzoe's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Group Project Class, interesting concept to say the least. Are you allowed to choose the members in your group or are they randomly

  25. SRNAs from Texas Wesleyan

    commonsense replied to gwapo's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist
