  2. New grad RN wanting to relocate to Houston

    TexasPediRN replied to sakura_RN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I used to live in Houston, and I dont think its the best time for a new grad to look for jobs.. Reason being, is that all new grad internships are in Jan and June. You just missed the June ones, (for...

  3. $100,000 in student loan debt?

    TexasPediRN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, where I went to school, the vast majority did NOT pay the full tuition price. Nor did anyone in the area. Financial aid was readily available to all of us. I dont know of one person who...

    TexasPediRN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    The school I attended was 25k a year, 100k total for my BSN. That was without student loans, scholarships, and financial aid. I owed about 30k in loans when i graduated, I think thats pretty good....

    TexasPediRN replied to HNursing's topic in General Nursing

    OP: I just read this entire thread, and I am sorry you were fired, but I commend you on being able to speak 4 languages. With that being said, you do need to take a course to brush up your english, so...

  6. New Grad willing to work ANYWHERE! Where's hiring and doesn't have 1000's of apps???

    TexasPediRN replied to hatingthewaiting's topic in General Nursing

    BEFORE you look into this, please realize something. The reason any hospital in the Valley (border of Mexico and texas), is willing to pay such huge sign on bonuses is b/c they are extremely desperate...

    TexasPediRN replied to KY RN's topic in General Nursing

    What a very smart 4 year old!! I would have died laughing to have heard a child say those words.. Thank you for teaching her !!! And, that MA was completely uncalled for. And to say that if you were a...

    TexasPediRN replied to roadrunner25's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have friends who graduated from TWU's NP program, and who have nothing but good things to say about it. The same goes for UT's NP program - nothing but good things to say about it. Good

  10. Can a student in a BSN program get there LVN?

    TexasPediRN replied to Idaho Murse's topic in General Students

    Best way to get your answer is to contact your state BON. The ability to get ones LVN varies state to state. Curious, why dont you want to work as a CNA? You'll get more hospital experience and be...

  11. Should a nursing student be given a 2nd chance if they have a positive drug screen

    TexasPediRN replied to PEBBLES1's topic in General Students

    There are plenty of other students out there who would do anything to become a nurse and would be smart enough to not drink and show up for a physical. If you are dumb enough to show up to a physical...

  15. He doesn't realize my dreams

    TexasPediRN replied to dipsett08's topic in General Nursing

    I'm thinking its possible, but only on a VERY strict budget...and assuming you have no other bills (car/cell/cc's/etc) at 8$ an hour, thats 320$ a week working 40 hours/wk. 320$ x 4 weeks is 1280$ a...

  17. Writeatermpaper.com

    TexasPediRN replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Students

    plagiarism, in its most basic definition, is using someone-elses work and turning it in as your own. In order to turn in that paper, you would have to put your name on it. But, if you didnt write...

  19. Do You Need to Work As Nurses's Aid During School To Get a Job After Grad?

    TexasPediRN replied to HappyMeNow's topic in General Students

    I highly recommend it. It gives you a foot in the door at that hospital after graduation (remember, many new GNS will be applying for not so many GN spots), and, it makes you more confident in...

  21. Is Memorial Hermann in TMC not hiring GN's for January?

    TexasPediRN replied to CCURN87's topic in Texas Nursing

    i know it sucks, but there are only so many nurses to orient new grads. no hospital can take 300 new grads at once, they'd sink. each unit can only handle 2-4 new grads at a time so that new grads...

  22. Is Memorial Hermann in TMC not hiring GN's for January?

    TexasPediRN replied to CCURN87's topic in Texas Nursing
