    Tex. replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    I was a CNA waaaaay back in 1992, and I distinctly remember having a patient that took some round green tablets that smelled very GREEN...almost like kale and spearmint had a baby...and they were to...

    Tex. replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

  8. Are you Facebook friends with your coworkers?

    Tex. replied to BlueDawnRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  16. When celebs stop by to say hi

    Tex. replied to adventure_rn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well, THIS makes me feel all torn and uncomfortable. Because in pic #1 we see a cute 20/30something dude loving the photo op, but CLEARLY the little girl (boy?) in the second photo is UNCOMFORTABLE....

    Tex. replied to LpntoRN2be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can tell you that the "what if...should have...could have" thing will make a person mad. Like you, I started out in my 20s with a plan and figured I would be a working nurse early in my adult life....

    Tex. replied to Lev's topic in General Students

    #1. Because safety always comes first at the NCLEX Hospital. COPD'er at 95% is good. If sickle cell patient said severe pain, that would change things. ***try to look at all questions like...

  23. Texas Tech RN to BSN

    Tex. replied to brgriffi's topic in Texas Nursing

    Not competitive. They came to my school trying to sign us up. If you have the cash, they have an opening with your name on it. Seriously. Don't sweat it. All I had to do was send my transcripts and...
