    Nursing schools and job market in Texas

    RN_BSN09 replied to GivingLove's topic in Texas Nursing

    What part of Texas are you looking into? I think anywhere you go the schools are going to be competitive to get into... and most places want experience when getting hired. But... if you worked as a...

    Shadowing a pediatric oncology nurse in San Antonio/Austin area over the summer

    RN_BSN09 replied to mcg11's topic in Texas Nursing

    If you're looking in the Austin area, try Seton Family of Hospitals or St. David's... they have multiple hospital sites. However, I agree with the above post... the best thing to do would be to work...

    Staying organized on Tele

    RN_BSN09 replied to CyclingMurse's topic in Cardiac

    Hey ~ My first job as a new grad was also in telemetry! First off, I would make your own nursing "Brain". I put everything I needed to know on my Brain: pt history, times meds were due, labs were...

    L&D is my dream job... How do I get my foot in the door?

    RN_BSN09 replied to Mishl029's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree with this post as well! I worked in telemetry for a year, then wanted to switch to OB. I saw a job posting online, and before submitting an application I went that day to speak with the...

    How far would you commute to an OB job?

    RN_BSN09 replied to Guest694054's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I work with a few people who have to commute an hour to work, and they are night shifters. If it's your dream job, do it. You're right it's only 3 days per week. I commute 30-45 minutes to work and...

    Bedside handoff report on mother/baby unit

    RN_BSN09 replied to OBnurseSandy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    In my opinion a full bedside report only works if you are giving report to one nurse, and also for units that care for a smaller number of patients (like L&D and ICU). It makes sense in those...

    What is so special about working in postpartum???

    RN_BSN09 replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I can't imagine having more than 4 couplets! That is our max, and they are "trying" to make the max 3 couplets, which they have been saying for the past year and a half. 4 couplets is do-able, but...

    Mother Baby Unit - Tips, Advice, Teaching Resources?

    RN_BSN09 replied to Bezoars's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That sounds exactly like the unit I work on! I used to work telemetry before, so I know it's a much different transition, but a good one! I basically memorized the dr. orders, and did my Continuing...

    RN_BSN09 replied to newnurse1986's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think you need to ask yourself what is MOST important to you. You have a lot of information going on there... so what are your priorities with your job? Pick the one that you will be happiest with....

    Am I ready to graduate?

    RN_BSN09 replied to spc2010's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I graduated last December and felt the same way. I was so ready to be done with school, but terrified to start as a new nurse. I would recommend applying for a residency or new grad program... but...

    What Have I Gotten Myself Into???? Advice?

    RN_BSN09 replied to HappyCat0325's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I agree with the previous post as well. Usually after the 1st test for each class you get an idea of what to expect. As far as your stress level goes... it's totally normal! I remember feeling that...
