Transition to ICU...Residency?
Following!
-
I am the wife of a male student nurse and having trouble coping.
My wife supported me through nursing school. We had one child and one on the way. Plenty of time with family and friends. I did happen to do a one year accelerated course so I don't know how different the schedule was like. There will definitely be nights where you won't see him as he is studying for an upcoming tests. But it is my belief that he will learn what works best for him and will see that he has much more time. I think everyone goes overboard with the studying and reading in the beginning. I know I read a lot but then did not open up a book after my second month in school. You learn what you need to know very quickly. Good luck, I am sure things will turn around for you!

New grad ER nurse
I just finished up my first year in the ER after a residency. The main thing that I can think that will be helpful is to try and be open minded and humble as possible. In my experience there is a bit of an initiation to see if you can make the cut. When you get criticism, take it, learn from it and become better. I have made mistakes that I learned from to become a better nurse. If you have questions or are unsure about how to do something, ask, and if you still don't know ask again. Be a hands on person and a go getter. Show them you want to be part of the team and that you can be relied upon. Good luck! You have chosen a great speciality area!

Associates Degree or Accelerated Nursing Program - Low GPA
I did an accelerated program. I would recommend an associates degree first. two reasons. first is that I think you will come out better with skills. accelerated courses pack in your clinical rotations. second is that typically hospitals will pay for your BSN. good luck either way! nursing is a great career!

Hard time finding a job in DFW area.
I would apply to programs that have internships. That just means that they are willing to train you. I know in HCA they give you a 12-16 week trial and after the internship they usually offer to sign you on as staff. I have heard that Baylor's interns are already hired on as staff. But that's my advice! Usually internships are offered bi-annually. Good luck!
