    Do you have hospital experience besides your clinicals? That seems to be the big thing in separating some applicants from the

  2. How do I become successful?

    crossfitnurse replied to kplp1111's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  3. Is University of Texas Arlington a good school?

    crossfitnurse replied to RosieeRose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I live close to UTA as well and there's a reason it's a hard school to get into. It's very well respected here in the area. I think anyone from any school can claim a program didn't "prepare them"...

    crossfitnurse replied to 2k15NurseExtern4u's topic in General Nursing

    crossfitnurse replied to 2k15NurseExtern4u's topic in General Nursing

    crossfitnurse replied to msg88's topic in Texas Nursing

  9. Hazing in school

    crossfitnurse replied to ksuheather's topic in General Students

    What semester is this for you? I'm curious because that sounds like cake compared to some instructors I had at CLINICAL. Real life. The other posters are right. Cry, complain, whatever and get over...

  10. THR Versant Residency

    crossfitnurse replied to msg88's topic in Texas Nursing

    crossfitnurse replied to DoubleblessedRN's topic in Nursing Humor
