  2. Dallas or Houston?

    Lovelymo79 posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi all! I'm looking to move to either Dallas or Houston in the next 9 months or so. At that time, I will have a little over 2 years of adult CVICU experience at a Level I trauma teaching center --...

  3. Dallas or Houston?

    Lovelymo79 replied to Lovelymo79's topic in Texas Nursing

    Seeing that St. Luke and Methodist rank in the top 10 for best hospitals for cardiac surgery, I am leaning more towards them. I plan on visiting both cities and hospitals in the near future so come...

  7. Pulled to other floors?

    Lovelymo79 replied to DroogieRN's topic in MICU, SICU

    I work in a 70 bed ICU, in the CTICU. The only place we float to are the other ICUs (MICU, SICU and CCU). If I had to float outside of the unit, I think I would die. I do not believe a nurse, is a...

  8. Anyone applied for an Internship for Scott & White, June 2012?

    Lovelymo79 replied to aghols12's topic in Texas Nursing

    First, I have to apologize for my spaghetti brain. I started at S&W in June 2011, not June 2012! I have been doing a lot of things these past few days and just realized that I put the wrong...

  9. Anyone applied for an Internship for Scott & White, June 2012?

    Lovelymo79 replied to aghols12's topic in Texas Nursing

    Jut to clarify, I never said S&W had 1:8 patients on the floor, or even 1:6. I just stated that I know places (in NJ where I am from) that have 1:8

  10. Anyone applied for an Internship for Scott & White, June 2012?

    Lovelymo79 replied to aghols12's topic in Texas Nursing

    I don't know about the med-surg floors but 1:6 isn't bad for a med-surg floor. I know places where it's 1:8

  11. Nurse titles. should I put...?

    Lovelymo79 replied to malicexmirage's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Last post, I promise: I also find it somewhat ironic that almost (and I saw almost because while I've never seen it, I don't want to generalize) no one lists themselves as Name, ASN, RN but as Name,...

  12. Nurse titles. should I put...?

    Lovelymo79 replied to malicexmirage's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Also, what KelRN posted is what one person's opinion on what should be listed. And even she states that the only legal requirement that most states require is to list the certification that the state...

  13. Nurse titles. should I put...?

    Lovelymo79 replied to malicexmirage's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    There isn't a standard because I have seen more people, on resumes, on hospital websites, on association websites, list RN, BSN. There are SUGGESTIONS but there is nothing standard or set in

    Lovelymo79 posted a topic in Travel

    Hi all! My best friend and I would like to travel in a year or so. Problem is, she has a Rottweiler mix ( who looks like a Rottweiler) and I have a Lab mix. She's potentially getting a Boxer soon....

  16. Traveling with big dogs

    Lovelymo79 replied to Lovelymo79's topic in Travel

    We have about a year before we go and I'm thinking we'll either have to take the stipend or get separate apartments. We shall see. Thanks all! Oh...and she did end up getting a

    Lovelymo79 replied to aghols12's topic in Texas Nursing

    Yes, I work at S&W in the Cardiothoracic Surgery ICU and I absolutely love it. I started in the June 2012 internship. I moved 1700 miles to here, specifically for this position and I haven't...

    Lovelymo79 replied to aghols12's topic in Texas Nursing

  23. Hired into ICU as a new grad, now bring shipped off to ICC... :(

    Lovelymo79 replied to Phlavyah's topic in Critical Care

    Omg ppl, she never said she wasn't grateful for the job. She is simple expressing disappointment over being told one thing and then being given another thing. I'm pretty sure as a new grad, the OP is...

  24. Nurse titles. should I put...?

    Lovelymo79 replied to malicexmirage's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think there should be a standard of how everything is listed because everyone lists the "alphabet soup" in different ways. I, for one, will always list my RN first because first and foremost, I am...

    Lovelymo79 replied to malicexmirage's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume
