    New Required CEU for TX

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Texas Nursing

    It's really confusing. They have a calculator online & you put in when your license expires. But since my license expires next year it won't work for me. The only years it works for are 2014 &...

    New Required CEU for TX

    OrganizedChaos posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    I have a question, I know Texas nurses are now required to take the Jurisprudence & Ethic CEU, but my license doesn't expire until next year. So do I need to do that CEU now for that

    OrganizedChaos replied to hollyann89's topic in General Nursing

    If they were interviewing other people & they were are able to start in February, they probably wouldn't hire you. It does look good that you were at your job for 10 years but when hiring managers...

    Any tips/advice before starting an (associate) accelerated nursing program?

    OrganizedChaos replied to Tam3321's topic in General Students

    If you already have a bachelor's why not go into a ABSN program? Or did you choose that program because it was so

    Wow. I wish I had your professor when I took micro the first time. They would've DIED if they had the professor I had! OMG he was horrible. His tests were pages & pages long & he wouldn't go...

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in LPN to RN

    I know. I did all my pre reqs so fast then I just put off nursing school. I just figured "Eh, it'll always be there". Little did I know life had other plans for me. I kicked myself for not applying...

    My first pregnancy was horrible. I have epilepsy, depression & anxiety. I was off both of my medications so I was a wreck (the baby was a surprise). I was on bed rest the last trimester, in &...

    OrganizedChaos replied to hollyann89's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't try to get or be pregnant during nursing school. I would rather have a secure job THEN get pregnant. If your pregnancy is that bad then go from there. I know my pregnancy was really bad...

    Need help choosing my classes

    OrganizedChaos replied to manda90's topic in General Students

    Too add, I would only take a science course during the summer if it was the ONLY class I was going to take. If you've never taken science before you're better off taking them during the fall semester...

    It says a lot that you changed your screen name with RN behind it when you haven't finished school or taken the NCLEX yet. You think you are so entitled just because you worked as a tech. Working as a...

    You posted on a public forum & your post was rather vague. Have you never posted on a forum before? How could you assume how a person posts is related to their nursing care? You could've searched...

    Well it sounds like you already have a job. Congrats! From interviews I went on before, if they want nurses with experience & you don't have that experience that job is off the table. But no, you...

    What advice is there to give? If she doesn't want to pay her dues but wants to walk into the perfect job she is in for a rude awakening. Unless she happens to know someone that job isn't just handed...

    Seriously considering getting into nursing. Anything I should know beforehand?

    OrganizedChaos replied to latios's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    If nursing isn't your passion, don't do it. Like the PP said we don't get paid what we deserve, there is NO shortage & there are waiting lists for schools. If you think you will walk into a school...

    OrganizedChaos replied to KcDawn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    That is very misleading & dishonest. I'm sure your professor did not want you to post on some public forum where the people posting might or might not be nurses. Was there actually a HIPAA rule to...
