    Responding to the BON without a lawyer

    TexRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Compassionate Use Act in Texas

    TexRN replied to TexRN's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Options for parents and spouses with strict schedules

    TexRN replied to TexRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Options for parents and spouses with strict schedules

    TexRN replied to TexRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I am not limiting myself to any specialty. If I have to work in a nursing home I will. Like I said, I am willing to take my time and research and be patient. I don't want to job hop. But I'm...

    Options for parents and spouses with strict schedules

    TexRN replied to TexRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I really don't want to come across as difficult to work with. However if I don't get the right schedule then I most certainly will have issues. And I can't do night shift. I get really sick doing...

    Options for parents and spouses with strict schedules

    TexRN replied to TexRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    That's why I was asking about places that would have those hours. I know I can't go to a hospital that normally does 7 to 7 shifts and ask for 7 to 4

    FNU Hopeful

    TexRN replied to TexRN's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Nurse-Midwife Goal: Where to start?

    TexRN replied to Sconner6's topic in General Students

    I will be applying to Frontier, and they do not require you to have that specific experience. As they put it, working as an RN in L&D is not the same as being a CNM so don't dwell on it. The...
