Hi! Have you considered looking on usajobs.gov? The Veterans Affairs, VA, offers RN positions of Care Manager within a primary care team. They call them PACT (patient aligned care teams). The government application can be a bear , but depending on...

I work in the OR. Essentially I am dealing with one patient at a time and I work to make the surgeon happy so he/she can do the required job. My charting is minimal and I consider myself spoiled, although of course this can vary with location. An ...

Anybody out there applying to the UT Austin AEMSN program for summer 2012? Haven't seen any posts about our group of hopefuls yet.

That helps a lot. Thank you for your prompt reply!

samianquazi - rather than buying the newly updated versions of each of these texts, i was considering purchasing the edition just before the most current. what are your thoughts on this? are there any books that you have not used as much, or that y...

Cummings is expensive. Unfortunately, unless I'm reading it wrong (may be!) as I look at the course descriptions, many of them do not list the book. I am a plan-ahead-person, but I'm afraid of buying things I don't need. This Cummings book is list...

What about Human Heredity by Cummings?

Which class is Jarvis' book for? Is this for summer or planning ahead to fall?

Eastsider, looks like you are on here right now. What group did you get placed in (A, B, C, or D)? I met you before our CPR class. I forget your real name though. Bad with names.

Hey Kat_Walk - I left you a private message back on March 27. Did ya get it?

Congratulations, laflaca! Sorry we won't get to meet you, but we're happy to hear that you got in to your chosen school. Good luck in your future classes and in everything else you choose!

Why don't you just change careers if you are unhappy? Do something about it.

I completely agree with you, Mr. Murse. I just got accepted to nursing school and I can't wait to get busy. I prefer to surround myself with positive people and to be one myself. I have not read all of the replies to your post, but I think that th...

Yes, the UT Student Affairs replied very quickly with the information that the above mentioned class (by eastsider, 8-hrs on 3/17) WILL work to satisfy our compliance needs. I thought I'd pass that on. I'm still seeking information on the procedure...

I played email/phone tag with Mr. Villanueva today, and he does not think the 8-hr class mentioned above is entirely appropriate for nursing students. So, I think I need to check into it more before it's a go.

That's exactly the class (for CPR, etc.) that I had my eyes on and I have emailed them to see about registration/payment. I may see you then! Since I am still working full time, I do not plan to do any CNA classes at this time even though it sure so...

Yes, I am. We got a few general emails from the coordinator (J. T.) to confirm completed or pending prerequisites, estimated tuition fee link that I think we may already have seen, and who to contact for compliance questions. Not really anything ne...

What about you, LizHope? And you, Eastsider? I know you were Adult Health Teaching, like me. Right?

Yeah, princerox - I almost got chills reading your last post!! Hey, we all already have our bachelor's degree, right? So, it may not be a BSN, but it is a BS or BA equivalent. Plus, we will have our RN. That's even better! AND enrolled in graduat...

Sounds like it!

I'm not sure if what I feel is a passion for it, but I think that I will be good at it. I feel blessed that we were admitted and given the chance. We worked hard for this!

There will be pros and cons in all careers. Also, some people are natural born complainers. Maybe they are burnt out and ready to move on. Then they should make moves to do so. I read something on this site about people complaining about doing 12-...

I have no doubts. They need nurses with advanced degrees, and nurses are getting more and more responsibilities in the workplace. What I read on that link (thanks, Lizhope) was only encouraging. The turnover rate does not scare me, because I think...

I didn't include my parents, but I've been married for a while. So, I'm not sure in your case what is best.
