I took my TEAS test today and I'm not sure what the school will use for entrance into the nursing program. Do they go by your adjusted composite score, rank, or all of the individual section scores? Do they go by the scores at the top of the score sh...

I am a former teacher who changed careers to nursing. I decided to go back to school for nursing because it has more flexibility than teaching. I didn't have a problem getting teaching jobs, but I got so tired of some of the things that take place ...

This is so true. When I graduated from nursing school last May, I asked one of my clinical instructors for a letter of recommendation. It took several months and a few reminders before I was able to get a letter from her. When I finally got it, s...

I can really relate to you. I am pregnant and due June 7th. I am also showing, so it is obvious that I'm pregnant. I graduated May of 2009, but I did not start appyling until December for personal reasons. I must have put in 100 applications or m...

I think working in an IVF clinic would be a wonderful opportunity. I'm currently 5 months pregnant thanks to a wonderful doctor and nurse at an IVF clinic. I think the nurses at fertility clinics develop a unique set of skills that you don't have ...

Here is the list of clients that are on the Group One web site. You might try some others that are not on this list. You should also request a copy of the information they have about you and write a response to it if necessary. Here is their web s...

Group One has this list of clients on their web site. Are JPS, Texas Health Resources, Kindred, and HCA hospitals not part of Group One? I don't see them on the list. Client List We currently provide employment verification services for the follow...

I just graduated in May and passed my NCLEX in July. For personal reasons, I won't be starting work right away. However, I would really like to volunteer if I can, but I am not even sure where to start. Where can a new nurse volunteer? I live in...

I just graduated from Tarrant County College with my ADN in May, and I had no problems finding a job. I only know of one person in my class who doesn't have a job, and that is because she hasn't started looking for one yet due to personal reasons. ...

:yeahthat:

Thanks for the responses. I would like to start this fall, but I don't want to commit to something without all the details. I appreciate the info.

I have been trying to find the cost of the online RN-BSN program at Texas Tech. I called once and they told me to look on their web site. I looked for a long time, but I didn't see anything about the cost. So, I emailed them and asked again for inf...

Txgal is right. The jurisprudence exam is the easiest test you will ever take. You just go to the BNE site to take the test and look up the answers as you go. A lot of them are common sense as well. Congrats on finishing school. Welcome to Texas...

I went to a job fair back in March, and several of the nurse recruiters from the various hospitals were very blunt about not having any openings. They would say they didn't have any openings or that they only had one or two openings for new grads. ...

Good luck! I hope you have a fabulous day.

I agree. I have always been taught that those are not the type of questions you ask during an initial interview. It makes it sound like your interest is all about the compensation and not the company. Of course those are important considerations, b...

Candiam, I don't live in the Temple area, but I just wanted to say :ancong!: :hpygrp:

I graduate in May, and I just accepted a position in Ft. Worth that starts in June.

Good luck! Working as a CNA will definitely give you a leg up. You will do great!:wink2:

I have not graduated yet. I have 5 weeks to go, and I'm counting down to my graduation on May 15th. (yay) However, I though that I would reply since you haven't had an answer yet. First of all, every nursing school and program are different, and th...

When I took the test, there were WAY more physical science and general/life science type questions than there were A&P, Chemistry, and Micro questions. There were only a couple of very general A&P, Micro, and Chemistry questions. Be sure yo...

The TEAS test is not that bad. It covers Reading, Math, Science, and Grammar. The math covers fractions, decimals, percentages, ratios and proportions, and basic algebra. The reading and grammar are very basic. The science covers micro, chemistry,...

I don't think you will have a problem finding a position with 5 years experience in the ICU. I have been searching and applying for graduate nurse positions, and it seems like there are jobs for experienced RNs available, but not many for new grads....

I will be graduating from the TCC nursing program in May (knock on wood). Like all nursing programs, you will have good professors and bad professors. You just have to work with what you have and pray that you get through it. That being said, I am...

I took A&P I and II over the summer with Dr. Vu at the Southeast campus. It was a tremendous amount of work, and he is very tough, but I felt well prepared when I went to nursing school. I will be finishing the nursing program at TCC in May, an...
