    Psych Folks, I desperately need your help. Crisis in my Home.

    furelite replied to LTCNS's topic in Psychiatric

    Your son needs help. You did the right thing. This isn't something you can "fix" on your own. You will feel guilty, this is normal. You need to absolve yourself of your own guilt, and know you are...

    OFFERED A JOB. At Tyler, Texas $22, with $1500 relocation bonus. As a new grad program.

    furelite replied to Lmnop2121's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I lived in Tyler until recently. There are no decent places to live near the hospital. Also, Texas in general is not a place you can live without a car. It is not like big cities with bus routes....

    A lot depends on the floor you are being offered. Some good floors, some run screaming, get a clear picture of your orientation process before being put on your floor. Some floor give little, others...

    furelite replied to furelite's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thank you everyone for your words. Today is our 26th anniversary, so while not trying to sound like a mental patient, that's what I am today. I have started to contemplate a rural job or an...

    Sad story of an ex-new grad nurse

    furelite replied to furelite's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks y'all. We have been in counseling together, and now are in separate counseling. During our couples counseling, my husband could never come up with anything that we needed to work on. He could...

    I am a new grad on a busy M/S floor on day 16 of my floor orientation. I have two more weeks under a preceptor, though I have been caring for my patients independently for the past several shifts...

    New Grad, disciplinary woes

    furelite replied to furelite's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks y'all. I do understand where the miscommunications took place and see where I need to improve. I guess I am also feeling a little thrown out to the wolves, since apparently my preceptor never...

    I fainted today in OR:(

    furelite replied to 164centimeters's topic in General Students

    Don't worry about it at all. It happens to everyone, and sometimes in the most unexpected places. I am not squeamish all. I have put in many IVs. The other night I was at clinical, was trying to start...

    furelite replied to LadyKai's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    How did you get 30 mls per hour? When I work it I get a much higher number. Are you just using the 30 as an example? I feel like I am going crazy. ml/hr = 250ml/10mg*1...

    furelite replied to sunny time's topic in General Students

    Seems to me Motown is simply offering to students who may be contemplating their futures a specialty of nursing they may not have considered. There have been several posts from students looking for...

    57+ and starting a nursing career

    furelite replied to kelleytison's topic in General Students

    I may be completely naive, and too hopeful. However, I have read over and over about how new grads won't find jobs, and it is distressing. However, if you want a more positive spin, go to the Career...

    Do you think eating in the classroom is rude?

    If I could hear well enough to be bothered by someone's food chewing in a classroom, I would be

    The TEAS Test, why does it make or break?

    furelite replied to Folkeye's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    "There are many make-it-or-break-it steps in the pursuit of nursing school, but pretty much all of them can be prepared for and redone if need be." Exactly. Any one of the qualifications for...

    furelite replied to ladeeda77's topic in Texas Nursing

    Tyler is a small-big town, LOL. We have lots of great restaurants, shopping etc, but the town is also "small town" atmosphere. For example, selling beer and wine in Tyler has only been legal since...

    UT Tyler Fall 2014

    furelite replied to ladeeda77's topic in Texas Nursing

    I think we had about 30 or so at the beginning of the spring semester. Seems I remember them telling me there were usually 70-90 applicants. What happens is you apply in September. If accepted, you...

    Do I have the intelligent capability of becoming a nurse?

    furelite replied to Morganward5's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hang in there! Your instructor could be a blessing in disguise. If you learn now to be resourceful and teach yourself, nursing school will be much easier to adapt to. Much of nursing school is...

    furelite replied to RHill9919's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Even if your school has a point system, I wouldn't think the amount of points you would have would increase significantly by a higher score. Maybe by a point or two, which I suppose if the...
