Hello nurses! I am a native Las Vegan (?) and now live in Texas. I have a brother still in Vegas who needs a great pain management doc. I need your local knowledge! He is not looking for someone just handing out narcs because it's easy. We want some...

I applied to Critical, Neuro ICU, and NICU. No rejection letter, but no phone call either. I got my BSN in August but would like to return to critical care- I externed/tech'ed in ICU for 18 months prior to graduation but turned down the RN job becaus...

Lol on the pvt

Well, it's possible. I was a single mom, and teacher, and managed through work, scholarship, a load of loans, and a lot of luck, to finish my BSN. Look around and see if there are weekend or bridge programs that cater to working adults. I drove 45 mi...

I don't know what's available in your area, but I know there are a few hospitals that offer high school senior/undergrad nursing externships or similar programs. They are designed many different ways, but will give you a perspective that you just can...

Here in TX, it's about the same pay as CNA's in the hospital systems I'm familiar with. However, in some systems, the nurse extern has all the CNA duties, plus whatever duties your school documents you've been checked off on, and the facility agrees ...

Thanks Bee and Cass! R/t the 15 spots- someone in my RN school cohort was also interviewed, and was told that they took 21 (???) in the May/June cohort, but 5 of them will be in the September group!! She was also told they interviewed far less people...

Just thought I'd share my recent experience with the Texas BON and declaratory orders. Like many, I went back and forth- disclose or not disclose? I'm stable, I'm on meds, I follow up, solid nursing school/employment record. So, I start thinking, why...

Hi all- did anybody ever get deadlines, etc for September residency start date? I imagine it's too late now for an actual internship position. I got the idea that the dates were staggered throughout the different specialties/units. Did you just apply...

Hi! Did you ever apply for the September cohort? Any luck? Are you sure about the 15 spots? I'd heard it's grown since then.

Sorry you have to go through this.

Wow, that sounds like a really unreasonable expectation, and a really poor care model. I agree that you should definitely start looking elsewhere.

I will check out the youtubes- thanks!

May I ask in which part of Texas? I'm starting the hunt for my first job and graduate with a BSN in August. Thanks!

Wow! Thanks for the tip KristeyK- I'm in Texas and have wanted to do psych since pre-reqs. I graduate in August with a BSN (post-bacc program with wierd course sequence), so the internship cycles are off. I really appreciate the lead :)

Hi, Let me first qualify my comments by saying that while I work in a hospital, I am a nursing student with a little under a year left, so I don't have the direct experience with the nursing market that many of the contributors to this thread can off...

I'm sure the original author has long since completed this, but if anyone else out there is looking for help on this case study, definitely do your own research! I can tell you some or all responses from every contributor who posted answers to this ...

O, I will be attending Dallas Center.

I just said the 21st because I assume they are starting to get them out, so more should follow after Spring Break. I don't have additional info from CON. I had an issue with the CON, and finally won the appeal. I got the acceptance about a week or s...

Got my acceptance e-mail late yesterday. They ARE getting started....keep those eyes open come the 21st.... Oh, and yes, I'm IN!!!! WOOOOT!!!!!:eek:

I'm in- 33.3 points, 2 support courses not taken. Hope that helps. BTW, I may have to decline for health reasons. Not sure yet. Just letting you know a couple of people will probably shift around.... Does anyone know how many people applied this ...

Sweet! I'm pretty optimistic too, but this is my first go-round. Plus, I need to see the schedule to see if it's even feasible for me to go yet. I need a just a little lead time to move heaven and earth :) Anyway, thanks for setting up the Facebo...

Just got mine, points agree. Now, just wait and hope...

Thank you for posting the info! BTW, did you e-mail A.C. or M.W.? I had tried e-mail without luck- just wanted to know if I needed to check my address book or something :)
