    txpixiedust replied to FireStarterRN's topic in United Kingdom

    all red text is quoted from navyvet post. we also have other people in this thread who are angry and bitter over the perceived slights to their religions, which is a bit humorous since all these...

  2. mother dies after refusing blood transfusion

    txpixiedust replied to FireStarterRN's topic in United Kingdom

    [i think she just felt that saving her son's life was far worth important than religion. so there..] I'm not a JW (I'm a Christian), but I think that was tacky at best. I bet if you asked your...

  3. EEK! There's a MAN in my room!

    txpixiedust replied to abooker's topic in General Nursing

    Some people (for a variety of reasons, mostly due to religion or up-bringing) are more reserved and don't want a man to "see them naked", etc. I think these same people force themselves to endure a...

  4. Assisting handicapped person to public bathroom

    txpixiedust replied to Valanda's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry you had this happen to you! I know it's not the same thing, but that made me think of my son - he has mild TS (simple motor & verbal tic's only) and people often stare or make rude...

  5. Help?

    txpixiedust replied to hannahintheory's topic in General Nursing

    If you know you want to be an RN and work in a hospital - I say GO FOR IT and start applying to every ADN or BSN program in your area. The college I went to had an ADN program( 2 years ), LVN...

  6. new graduate cover letter help needed thanks!!

    txpixiedust replied to newestlilnurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    I bought a great Nursing book that had sample resumes and cover letters. Look for one at a Half-Price book store, you'll likely find one there. What it suggested was to have an Educational...

  7. Nursing opportunites

    txpixiedust replied to mcost5111's topic in General Nursing

    Look into insurance claims and pharmaceutical sales - I've heard of a lot of RN's who go into those areas. The pharm sales is good money, too! Good Luck & God Bless!:balloons:

  8. getting a NICU position

    txpixiedust replied to woodland21's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'd say start looking for internship positions at any hospital (especially the larger hospitals like Baylor, etc.) in your area. Internships start in January & June - but they begin interviewing...

  9. RN or CNA, considering my kids

    txpixiedust replied to mukhorty's topic in Nursing Career

    My opinion - don't work, but go back to school. School will be tough enough - you don't need to add working to the mix. Yes, a job as a CNA would be helpful with learning what patient care is like,...

  10. low overall gpa, high prereq gpa?

    txpixiedust replied to shehak20000's topic in General Students

    I'm taking courses at TWU to get into the RN-BSN program. I think there are a few other courses that are considered pre-req's - another Math course, a Womens's Studies, Fine Arts, etc. - but maybe...

  11. Some helpful suggestions please?

    txpixiedust replied to 4evaStudent's topic in Nursing Career

    First you need to check with the Board of Nursing in your state, to see if you would be allowed to take the test. If you are, then I'd find a refresher course and take that. I believe in Nursing...

  12. Confused and could really use some advice from current nurses!

    txpixiedust replied to raynbabe07's topic in General Nursing

    I forgot to mention you should look into getting ANY type of job (although a Nurse Assistant job would be great for hands on care) in a Hospital that has tuition reimbursment. Most hospitals will pay...

  13. Confused and could really use some advice from current nurses!

    txpixiedust replied to raynbabe07's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Rayna, I think a BSN is more than enough to start your Nursing career. The MSN programs here (although maybe the programs in your area don't) require that you work as a RN for at least one year...

  14. mother dies after refusing blood transfusion

    txpixiedust replied to FireStarterRN's topic in United Kingdom

    {I am not too much into religion but I've always been taught and believed that God forgave all sins, would this have been an exception? } I'm not a JW, but I am a Christian - so that's where my point...

  15. Why you like nursing?

    txpixiedust replied to CTGuy's topic in General Nursing

    As a Christian, reading your post, my first thought was that you should finish the divinity program since you're in your third year - and then maybe pursue some kind of medical training (Nursing, EMT,...

  16. I need your opinions please

    txpixiedust replied to wannaBanOBnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's awesome that at your young age you know what you want to do! I say go for it! If God put the dream in your heart, He'll help it come true. As far as going to school - get your GED, and...

  17. does anyone have any wise advice for me?

    txpixiedust replied to reginaa's topic in Nursing Career

    This isn't a correction - just a little more detailed answer. The quickest route may have more to do with how "easy" it is to get into the various programs in your area. Several members on this site...

  18. Re-entering Hospital Setting

    txpixiedust replied to kymaja's topic in Texas Nursing

    I don't live in Austin....so I'm not sure which hospitals/specialty would be best there. But I'd say L&D! I have a question for you though.....I just graduated in May, and I'm pretty sure we...

  19. Im doubgting myself..can I really become a Nurse?

    txpixiedust replied to AspiringNurse7's topic in General Nursing

    Don't let rejection letters keep you from doing something you really want to do. Unfortunately more people want to get into nursing school than there are avaialble slots. Apply to several schools,...

  20. Normal shift hours

    txpixiedust replied to 8mpg's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi Tim, Yes, most nurses work 12 hour shifts - and those are 7am - 7pm or 7pm-7am. Some hospitals still offer 8 hour shifts, and those are usually 3pm-11pm. As far as shift differentials - that...

  21. Career Change

    txpixiedust replied to kaybug's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi Kaybug, It can be done, but like anything worth doing it can be hard sometimes. What I would suggest is that you get the list of prerequisite classes at a few schools you're considering first....

  23. Nurses Do You Sometimes Wish You Can Switch To Another Career??

    txpixiedust replied to browsing's topic in General Nursing

    14 years ago when I went to college for the first time, I was a music major- and had a small music scholarship. I loved playing violin in the orchestra - theres nothing like it. I was young and...

  24. Vaccination & Titers question

    txpixiedust replied to AllieRat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    HA HA HA....Am I new to this or what? Well I just read my own post and saw that the post I responded to is a year old. Maybe someone else that reads this in the future will be helped. Oh well. :)...

  25. Vaccination & Titers question

    txpixiedust replied to AllieRat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi ERIKALYNN, I live in TX, and was told by the Director of the Nursing Program I'm entering, that we are required to have 3 Hep B shots. I didn't see what state you're from- but the rules have...
