I'm looking for information about the Greenville area. What are the best areas for a family with 3 school aged kids looking for some land and good schools? What about the hospitals. I notice some large hospital systems, but none offer any details reg...

Thanks, what hospitals in those areas would you recommend?

I completed my BSN through WGU, western governors university. Its completely online and much more affordable than any other program I researched. Its an accelerated program allowing you to move as fast or a slow as you want to through each course. I ...

I'm looking to get some info on the best hospitals in the eastern areas of Georgia. I'm currently in New England so I realize a pay reduction is expected but the cost of living seems much lower. Any areas better for a family with children looking for...

Hi everyone! I'm a May 12' grad and am lucky to have landed a job as a per diem RN float for several different med surg floors in the hospital. I've been working on my own for about a month (I had 6 weeks of orientation). Although for the most part ...

Med Chica: I'm glad to hear that there are others who absolutely do not have time to socialize. I kinda feel bad when co workers want to be chatty with me and all I'm trying to do is think of how I'm going to get away so I can keep to my schedule. T...

I suppose I feel bad asking NA's to do things for my patients even when I know they should. Unfortunatly, we are generally always, 'down an aide today,' so I will typically try to do as much as I can when I'm in there. I get a little confused as to w...

This may be silly to ask, but does Massachusetts require any continuuing education credits when you renew your license? I'm a new RN, and haven't heard anything about this here. Does this requirement vary by state? Thanks for your reply!

Hi all other future and current nurses! I wanted to thank all of you for your stories and inspiring encouragement about your NCLEX experiences. I really feel like this website is the reason I passed my NCLEX-RN this passed weekend. First off, making...

I'm trying to research rental townhome communities in the DFW areas. I've come across many options and wanted to know your opinions. I found affordable rental areas in Plano: 1. West of I-75 and West Plano Pkwy, 2. Medalist Circle areas....are these ...

Your detailed reply is very helpful, thanks for that. It's so hard to research areas when you don't have a realistic idea about the community. Any hospitals in Fort Worth you'd recommend? I know you have a good knowledge base of this area so I apprec...

Thanks for your input not.done.yet! If there's any hospitals around Plano that you've had good experience with, please let me know. I'm trying to do as much research about this area before I plan a trip to visit.

Hi and welcome! I was new to New England 6 years ago and had some of the same questions you do. I would seriously reconsider the Boston area unless you end up with a solid job offer only because you can find decent costs of living and very good wages...

I'm considerring a move to Dallas area. I have 2 children ( 1st grade and 6th grade) and am looking into either the Frisco or Allen areas. Any advise about school systems and good family areas? Also, if anyone can advise about the hospitals in Dallas...

Thanks for your reply TheCommuter, what type of differences do you see with your adjustment? What do you recommend in making adecision about a hospital.

You are ready for this! You are the RN you've been working so hard to be for years in school. Now its your time to PROVE it! (you need to know this in your head) SCHEDULE your test and take the next step. Remember, you already graduated from school.....

Thanks for your great insight not.done.yet. I really appreciate all of your comments. I'm curious as to whether northern Texas hospitals are beginning to unionize yet or not? Any suggestions? Also thanks for your opinions about HCA health systems, I...

Absolutely. The rationales are the part of these books that are the most useful. You will certainly KNOW why certain answers are right and may not need to reread those rationales, but certainly the ones that you came down to 2 choices and chose the ...

Shiningstar0602- You should definatly schedule your test. I had constant anxiety during school and had to consistently work my a** off to graduate. NCLEX is the summit. It's the last torch to light before we can call ourselves nurses. I do believe th...

It feels so great to finally be where you should be after years of studying and constant worry. Congrats!!!

Are heath insurance benefits better being in the nursing field? Wanted some real life opinions because in my current position (not healthcare related), the health insurance is super expensive and has a really high deductible (1000$). Does being a nu...
