    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to playmaker2008's topic in Texas Nursing

    Seriously! I won't sit here and say that Parkland is a great place, obviously they have serious issues that need to be sorted out, but who is honestly taking advice about a medical institution from...

  9. Hiring outlook for ADN vs. BSN in your town?

    sugarmagnoliaRN posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    Hey y'all, I am wondering what the job outlook is like in your town for an ADN vs. a BSN. Are hospitals still as willing to hire ADNs? ADNs, how fast were you able to find work when you graduated?...

  10. Hiring outlook for ADN vs. BSN in your town?

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to sugarmagnoliaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    You may not think there are enough LTC facilities to justify educating ADN nurses, but nurses at those facilities are generally spread insanely thin. And I think ADN programs are still going to be...

  11. Nurse Ratched

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to Stormy8's topic in Cardiac

    Is there a specific reason you feel like you can't say anything? I would address this with her, personally. Obviously, be tactful about it, but I think it's worth your while to figure out if there is...

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to luvlimandee's topic in Texas Nursing

  15. Baylor FastBacc 2012

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to sugarmagnoliaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I think they do look at the previous Bachelors GPA. My advice is, go in and talk to the adviser. They can look over your transcripts and let you know what you can do to improve your chances of being...

  16. Discouraged and in need of honest advice

    sugarmagnoliaRN posted a topic in General Students

    I started an ADN program this past January and worked so hard on getting in. I did very well in all my pre-reqs, even though my educational background is about as far from science- and math-based as...

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to sugarmagnoliaRN's topic in General Students

  18. NDx: Altered Health Maintenance

    sugarmagnoliaRN posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  21. NDx: Altered Health Maintenance

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to sugarmagnoliaRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Another tidbit - something I really liked about that diagnosis was that one of the interventions is including the pt in planning their care. There was one nurse that I saw take care of him (he was my...

    sugarmagnoliaRN replied to sugarmagnoliaRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance
