  1. Parkland Fall 2013 Residency

    vera4130 replied to bprwatson's topic in Texas Nursing

    I have experience too, did you submit a skills checklist or are taking one to interview? I didn't, but was thinking it might be a good idea to take with me. Although, I did a good job (I think) of...

  2. Parkland Fall 2013 Residency

    vera4130 replied to bprwatson's topic in Texas Nursing

    It does. It used to be two years but it's changed over the last couple years. I'm kind of disappointed, I was hoping it was just ER that had the three year commitment. I don't mind too much, and I'll...

    vera4130 replied to bprwatson's topic in Texas Nursing

  5. SOOOO HOT AT WORK!!

    vera4130 replied to flyfarfaraway's topic in General Nursing

    I'm pretty sure unborn babies are at much higher risk for complications (you know, like death) from infections and harmful exposures from mom. We don't give our pregnant nurses XDR or TB patients and...

  6. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    vera4130 replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I made a lower grade on week 3 than week 2 and there are NO comments on my week three section. I think it's corrections, some of which I did. Anyone else have the same

  7. Did being unattractive hurt your career?

    vera4130 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Nursing Career

    So that's why people are always asking me if I'm ok/tired/whatever? I always tell people that don't worry, if I'm upset, there will be NO DOUBT about it and you'll know exactly why. That video is the...

  8. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    vera4130 replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Was anyone else told that they need to correct the previous assignments?? Apparently most of my points off were for not doing the corrections. That and my community health diagnosis wasn't 'clear,'...

    Anyone hear back from other

  11. Orientee Horror Stories?

    vera4130 replied to megank5183's topic in General Nursing

    That is horrifying. I'm a new nurse, but there was a girl in my intern class who had her BSN degree and complained about her preceptor (an ADN) because she 'needed someone who was on her education...

  12. emergency prepared

    vera4130 replied to rayea's topic in Emergency

    I would not give him aspirin because of the risk of head injury. I know you're worried about MI but in that situation I wouldn't give it just because of the risk and liability. And you did the best...

  13. Parkland Fall 2013 Residency

    vera4130 replied to bprwatson's topic in Texas Nursing

    Not yet... which is a little frustrating. But I think in July the scheduled interviews the week before so it might be next week before anyone hears from

  14. Is Nursing right for me?

    vera4130 replied to driven_chick1's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    As soon as your record is expunged, apply to your state board. It is NOT a standard background check and it's possible you'll have to explain anyway. It's just something to address before getting too...

  15. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    vera4130 replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I finally got my grade back and I didn't do nearly as poorly as I thought! I'm not sure what happened but both my quiz grades went up a little bit

    vera4130 replied to guest454229's topic in Burn

    There is also Parkland Hospital in Dallas,

  17. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    vera4130 replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I haven't gotten my grade yet, but as long as its passing, I'll live. I'm still pretty upset about having worked so hard only to lose half my data. My computer is still acting funny, IE and fire fox...

  18. Is Nursing right for me?

    vera4130 replied to driven_chick1's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'd be really careful assuming that there are more opportunities in nursing. There is not a nursing shortage, there is an experienced nursing shortage. Out of the 50 or so that I graduated with maybe...

  19. Moving from Chicago to Texas (Austin, Houston or Dallas)

    vera4130 replied to dcw132003's topic in Texas Nursing

    The job market is pretty tough, especially for ADN nurses. CNA experience may or may not help you. The Dallas market is flooded with new grads because there are so many schools in the area. Starting...

  20. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    vera4130 replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    They only dock 5 points? Where did you see that? I thought they wouldn't take it at all! My paper was horrible. I got on the plane to come back yesterday, had just a little bit left to do, turn it on...

  21. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    vera4130 replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Yes! It would! I'm spending the last day of my vacation in the hotel frantically working on this paper. I would even be happy if they'd accept a late assignment and just knock a few points off, but...

  22. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    vera4130 replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I have no motivation left. I do not know what I'm doing. What's crazy to me is that I like public health, biostatistics, epidemiology - all of that. And this class has been nothing but busy work. I...

  23. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    vera4130 replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Oops one more question. It says to compare your community/zip code with city, state, and national. And in another place it just says to compare your city with state and national. How many columns are...

  24. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    vera4130 replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Where is everyone finding the information for the family characteristics? I must not be looking in the right place. Edit: I found it! Now the question is, when you're using all information from the...

    vera4130 replied to bprwatson's topic in Texas Nursing
