    Help! On what state should i apply without requirinf tofel exam?

    OrganizedChaos replied to louiseraphelle's topic in Nurse Registration

    Pretty much what the PP said. You will need to converse in English to the patient's. So unless you are going to practice nursing where you are originally from, you need to speak it properly. It is...

    I just went in for an interview, got a offer & sent for a drug screen. Last time I went in for an interview & never heard back so I hope this time I actually get work! I'm trying not to count...

    I work for a private, drug/alcohol rehab for teens. It is shady every way you look at it. The building is as bad as the practices. I'm only working there because they are super flexible with how much...

    Any experience with pseudoseizures?

    OrganizedChaos replied to Umberlee's topic in Psychiatric

    Where I worked we had a female client who would fake seizures seemingly every day. The first time I thought they were real, then I learned better. Especially since she was shipped out to the ER...

    Pre pouring of medication???

    OrganizedChaos replied to HGiannelli's topic in Correctional

    I never pre-poured anywhere until I got to my current job. It really didn't take that long to pop meds for the inmates right there because once I got to know the cart & where all the meds were it...

    Part Time Bridge Program

    OrganizedChaos posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    Since there are no online programs that I feel confident in, I was wondering if there are any part time bridge programs in San Antonio, Austin or Houston. I don't live in any of the cities but if...

    When I go back to bridge it will definitely be the traditional route. I want to be as hands on & experience as much as I can. I'm fine with online learning, but I don't want to have to teach...

    OrganizedChaos replied to william1's topic in Excelsior College

    I would rather have a year+ of clinicals than a three day, stressed fill capstone. The failure rate is so high at the CPNE it's ridiculous & doesn't surprise me most states BON don't accept it....

    Correctional nursing isnt for me!

    The last correctional facility was EXACTLY like that. A ridiculous amount of paper work, negative nurses & guards. The facility took mostly illegal immigrants so speaking Spanish is pretty much a...

    I only worked there for a 2 months, I found out I was pregnant & had to resign. I'm an LVN & the top pay was $22/hr. I never got their benefits because I resigned so soon. But it was hectic!...

    It's so frustrating! I understand nursing is more business oriented but wouldn't they make more money if they had evening/online classes with evening clinicals? Not everyone can go to school full...

    I have been looking into online programs because I like the fact that I can take as many classes as I feel comfortable with & still work. It is difficult though because there aren't many options...
