  1. PCT to RN

    I'm just curious... How many people worked in a hospital setting (PCT, CNA, sitter, tech, etc) then got hired by that hospital as an RN? It seems like that's the best and easiest way "in," or so I've heard. I just got a job as a PRN PCT and am wonder...
  2. Starting my new job!

    I'm a new grad/just finished my internship and I never drove home in tears. Was I tired? Some days. Sleep was always a priority and I made it a point to have a hobby I loved aside from work, even with a kiddo. You'll be great! Always accept feedback...
  3. Unsupportive spouse?

    That's how mine was now I'm divorced. Hahahaha - in short - he didn't want a woman who could support herself and didn't "need" him. I say go to counseling and figure out the deeper issue.
  4. Anyone had PVT be WRONG?

    If mine wasn't wrong... No ones will be wrong Hahahahahahaha. I was 1836382836372% certain I failed that poopy test!
  5. Facts about answering 265 Q's

    I'm wondering why always such a debate over this topic? If you pass, you pass. If you fail. You fail. There's no secret to this exam. If there was, we would all pass - which obviously - we do not all pass.
  6. HESI Exit advice!!!

    Do practice questions, did you go over the questions you missed when you finished last time? Did you see why you missed them? Exit hesi questions are chosen from a pool of questions by your instructors so there's not really "a way" to pass other then...
  7. Nursing care of ADN vs BSN

    Last I checked I was an ADN working in acute care. Some people on this board are weirdos.
  8. ADN's being pushed out

    Or we just leave it alone. Don't you guys get tired of going back and forth about this?
  9. Friends. 😤

    Just laugh it off and do what you need to do. No one will understand the craziness of the studying unless they are doing it themselves. Trust me. No other major, family member, friend, etc will get it - regardless of how you explain it. You know what...
  10. ADN's being pushed out

    😒....
  11. I Love Night Shift

    Love night shift!! It caters to my introvert-ness and I always get time to do things BEFORE work. (Working out, etc) On day shift I felt like I missed EVERYTHING for those three days because I was just dead tired and had to be up at 530 am all over a...

    Yay welcome to Mansfield Methodist. The internship coordinator is AMAZING. She is going to help you so much and prepare you well 😀
  13. Methodist Dallas

    I just completed my internship (in cardiac tele) at the Mansfield location and LOVE IT. The company is great and I think our intern training was very sufficient. I can say I feel way more confident then I thought I would be. I have a friend over at ...
  14. Job outlook in Dallas, TX for new grad

    All these areas are saturated BUT an co-intern of mine moved from ARKANSAS and got a spot here as an intern! It's possible but you gotta stand out and have some kind of tech experience usually 😃
  15. PCT jobs harder than they once were?

    Let's just all take a lesson from this post: we don't wanna be "that nurse." (You know who I'm talkin' about here)
  16. PCT jobs harder than they once were?

    I bet you're just gods gift to nursing. You don't even NEED techs? Wow. Please, teach me of your ways. Teach me how to get techs to run when I ask for help. Teach me how to tell them they don't need to learn anything or expand their knowledge in any...
  17. PCT jobs harder than they once were?

    Sorry but if you need your techs to "do more" maybe your time management sucks
  18. PCT jobs harder than they once were?

    Reading over your posts it sounds like you need a new job. If your techs ONLY do vitals maybe you need to go somewhere else if that's not enough for you? If you cant tget decent help when you ask for it and they are no where to be found like you sta...
  19. Calling all DFW nurses..need help/advice for a travel position!!!

    Yes around AMH is ... Iffy hahaha
  20. Calling all DFW nurses..need help/advice for a travel position!!!

    Oh but about the living situation - the only reason I wouldn't live around that hospital is because it's so stinkin busy with traffic! All the shops and stuff they have built makes it crazy at times.
  21. Calling all DFW nurses..need help/advice for a travel position!!!

    I live pretty close to HCA and it's not sketchy. They have built a lot in that area recently.
  22. Working out after night shift/ depression

    Could you maximize your workout time on days off? That's what I do, then I workout right BEFORE I work on one of my night shifts. (Usually the first one of the stretch or week, depending on the work schedule.) that way you have two days off and the o...

    You are interviewing for a chance at your future career. Do you think you should dress as if it were a job interview?.... The answer is yes.
  24. For those who passed NCLEX

    I passed with ALL 265!!! It was the WORST thing everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!! Hahahaha I would never do that again. After the test I felt so stupid and miserable... I was so stressed. I tried the trick ever 2 hours up until the quick results were avail...
  25. Methodist Dallas Internships summer 2015

    I think some other internships will be posted for some of the other Methodist hospitals in the near future. I'm a current intern and I heard this through the grapevine today.
