  1. I am a 100% disabled veteran with ptsd currently working successfully as an RN. I am wondering what the implications are for prescribed cannabis use under the care of a physician for disabled RNs. I was under the impression that unless it’s federa...

    Compassionate Use Act in Texas

    I have to wonder what you mean by “incompatible with holding a nursing license” To me, telling anyone these days that what they do off the clock under the guidance of physicians makes them less then and they shouldn’t be a nurse isn’t a reflecti...
  3. I am graduating in less than a month. I have 2 kids, they are 4 and 5 years old. My 5 year old is starting kindergarten in the fall while my youngest stays in daycare. Daycare center is open 630am to 630pm and the elementary school is 750 to 250. My ...
  4. I'm thinking that night shift work is going to be the best option. If I need to hire someone to stay with my kids for 1 hour a night I will. My husband works a 7 to 7 or 8pm job so obviously if I'm leaving at 630 for my night shift someone would have...

    Moving to San Antonio......advice on hospitals

    Christus Versant residency starts at $24.80 hourly.
  6. 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 definitely looking into the possibility of a nanny that can...
  7. 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 that. I had to do that in the army a few times and my ...
  8. Maybe I can have a traditional hospital job and instead of working thurs thru sat i can work the same days my husband does and find a nanny to pick up my kids and take them home. That way my husband and I will have the same days off. Thank you for yo...
  9. 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 hours.

    FNU Hopeful

    I am graduating my BSN program THIS May. I've always had in my heart to become a CNM, but as many of you know, it is dependent upon your GPA during the program. So I am happy to say that I will have above a 3.0 and will be able to apply! A few quest...

    FNU Hopeful

    Thanks so much do the reply! Trying not to get discouraged about the 2 classes. I did get a response and she said it looks like they probably will be allowed, but to send in the syllabus just in case. My health assessments class was also 2 credits bu...

    Nurse-Midwife Goal: Where to start?

    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 experience helps you on a personal level, but for that ...
  14. I'm coming back to thank this particular thread for opening my eyes to vaccines.

    I did pathway 2 through UCSD Hybrid LC program. It is 300 supervised clinical hours from October-April-ish. You get 120 hours of Lactation specific ed. I just sat for the exam this year and am hoping to get the results this month! I think there would...
  18. Reading the book word for word is inefficient. Does the instructor have an outline or course objectives?

    UTHSCSA Spring 2016

    Congrats everyone!!
  20. The only thing that pops out to me is the two tone nature of your hair color. Those two colors are natural, but the two toned of it might be inappropriate.

    How to study properly?

    My classes list learning objectives for each week. We also have learning outcomes. Both are pretty much the same thing and guides our reading pretty precisely. I've done it this way and just got 100% on my first quiz. Turn the learning objective int...

    UTHSCSA Spring 2016

    I don't know how the accelerated class does it. Traditional already seems accelerated. The amount of work is incredible and it's only the second week!

    UTHSCSA Spring 2016

    No you don't. But I have HMOx and opted to have the student health insurance because it's PPO and then I could use the student health center.
  24. What I learned -Enthusiasm will be mistaken for being bossy and overbearing. -The classes are kept at 32 degrees. -Every laptop will have an issue. -My school included a gym membership but I don't need it because it takes 20 minutes to walk from my c...

    UTHSCSA Spring 2016

    The computer is not part of the tuition, it is separate. The health insurance is part of the insurance though. Tomorrow is my 4th day, and I spent 7 hours studying in the library today for patho.
