I have an L&D background and have ex coworkers with antepartum backgrounds that have gotten case management positions. Just start applying, you never know until you try.

I'm in the same situation you are in. I have a prn job in addition to my full-time school nurse position but working 2 jobs with a family is absolutely exhausting. When I took the school nursing job my husband had a good salary and we would have been...

I'm looking into doing agency nursing and the majority of hospitals in my area (Dallas) use an EMR program for charting. How are agency nurses trained to do computer charting if you are going from hospital to hospital?

Hello, I am wanting to apply to the ADN programs in the DFW area. I have a B.S. in Community Health so I have already taken all of the science courses. My courses were taken over 5 years ago. Has anyone ever really gotten a waiver on the 5 year t...

I just accepted a position as a school nurse and I'm trying to research and learn as much as possible. I need any advice you can give me as a new school nurse as well as helpful books and websites. I have found some good information on this board an...

I'm glad the district offers extensive training. Since this will be new for me, I'm concerned about what situations I may have to deal with and how to organize the clinic so that it runs efficiently. I want to learn as much as I can before I start.

Thank you for this info.

I remember explaining to a patient and her mother that the doc was going to come in and rupture her membranes. The patient's mother caught me outside the room and said "won't the baby dry out". :chuckle It was hard for me to keep my composure!

Presbyterian Hospital Dallas has one. There may be a waiting list though.

Hello, I've read that DISD has a good program for school nursing. I'm thinking about transitioning to school nursing and I wanted to get some feedback on the district. Feel free to send me a private message. Thanks.

Thank you! I wish you the best as you go through the program.

I was accepted into the program in 2004 and I knew I was accepted within a couple of months of submitting all of my paperwork. I really don't have the most current information about the enrollment process since I'm graduating. You will have to comp...

That was quick! Congrats on the job. You got a good starting salary. The internships will open back up in June, so worst case if you didn't get in one in Jan. you can start early and apply for June. I wish you the best. TW

The internships are not starting until Jan. 08. Baylor has several intern positions posted as well as Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas and other THR hospitals. There was a big nursing/healthcare job fair listed in this past Sunday's paper but I don'...

Hello, I'm graduating from the TAMUCC eLine program in December and I'm glad you pointed out this the program is challenging. Sometimes I feel like people underestimate the program because it is online. Nursing school is very demanding and challeng...

I'm in the ELINE program and I will graduate in December with my BSN. Send me a private message with questions.

i'm in the bsn program and i've done most of my clinicals in college station. there are 2 rotations that can be completed in dallas. as far as i know, all of the clinical sites for the adn program are in the corpus area. i know most people are int...

The financial aid process is the same as any other school. You'll start by completing a FAFSA to see what you qualify for. The cost is comparable to the other schools in Texas. The program is self-paced, so how long it takes depends on you.

Vickie, About 3 years ago I was in the same position. I had put off getting my nursing degree for years because I couldn't afford to quit working full-time. There are not any part-time RN programs in the DFW area, but I found a program called Eline...

they have contracts established with certain hospitals and you can only do clinicals at those hospitals. unfortunately, there is only one hospital in the dfw area that has been willing to work with us and that is for the pediatrics rotation only. t...

I responded to your PM. I'm really not sure what the admissions procedure is now. They used to enroll several times a year. They may have changed the policy.

Yes I did, hence my statement "nurses are underpaid, but I think we all knew that going in". I stated I was disappointed, not shocked. I decided to go to nursing school inspite of the pay because that is where my passion is. I'm sure this is the c...

I was very disappointed to discover that after spending $20K on my nursing degree I will only be making $1.50/hr more than I made before nursing school. But, I will have opportunities to make money by picking up extra shifts or doing agency work tha...

I've been in the program for 2 long years now. I hope to graduate in August. Just for clarification, the program is a generic BSN program, not a LVN-RN or RN-BSN bridge. Welcome to everyone that started in January!!!!!!! Tamela
