    Enrolled in RN-BSN program and not working

    I'm worried about that too because when I graduate from nursing school my current baby will be 2. Around that time I'll want to start trying for our second. But with how sick I've been this pregnancy...
  5. Wow. I hope I never get that angry or burnt out to do that to a patient. I can't imagine the pain that poor man was in. I understand your hesitation. You were caught between a rock & a hard place....

    Job Market for RNs in Texas?

    Yeah, it's unfortunate but true. As an LVN I applied to soo many hospital openings & never got a job. I'm assuming they chose someone who had hospital experience over me. They would tell me to go...

    Starting a family during nursing school or after?

    I'm currently pregnant & would suggest waiting until AFTER school. I know it seems like forever but trust me, it will be easier after school. I know there are women who went to school while...

    Job Market for RNs in Texas?

    I don't know where you're planning on moving but if you move toward a major city (Dallas, Houston, Austin or San Antonio) look into the smaller cities around them. Those big cities are saturated with...

    Are you bored at work?

    I've had my fair share of slow & predictable jobs, so I would much rather be busy. PDN comes to mind when I think of slow. Most of the patients I had didn't need much done. Then I worked at a...

    Is it okay that I hate LTC?

    Geriatrics isn't my favorite area but if LTC could be staffed better, I would probably work there. But with all the work that has to be done, all the residents to care for & etc it's hard for me...

    Harder to have a new baby in school, or as a new nurse?

    Wait until after nursing school. I had a surprise pregnancy & it hasn't been easy. I've been to the ER close to 10 times & admitted once. I got accepted into a bridge program & it starts...

    I have never heard of putting your picture on a resume or handing one out. You're not interviewing for a movie, tv show or commercial. I can only imagine that back

    Quit my first nursing home after 1 day!

    Wow. That sounds horrible & similar to the last nursing home I worked at. I don't know how I made it so long (1-2 months). I know there are good facilities out there but unfortunately I have never...
