Math Requirement 1301 or 1302
I have taken statistics at my local college. I completed 4 units. Math 1302 in UTA per the description is equal to math 123c at our local college. They still want me to take the math class that I took to enter statistics. Also I was surprised by all the pol sci and history classes and other extra classes they added to my degree planner. I took med terminology in calif and they told me they cannot accept it as an elective nursing course because it is not Texas certified. I am very surprised by this. Anyone can comment on this would be greatly appreciated. I have 1 more history class and 1 more math class (the equiv of this I hve taken but they won't accept because it has a different title) to take before taking capstone. Thank you.

Dumb ? from a new nurse. What does "floating pool" mean?
True hehe. Im a float pool. Sometimes I see a friend floating to acute rehab from medsurg. It is different of course, but I get to set their heart at peace and let that person know the staff is great and help them through the day. It just becomes a beautiful day of ministry, helping those who are i need of us nurses. Nurses are molded by God in a very special way in heaven. Nurses are God's beautiful angels with invisible wings and beautiful hearts and ears and eyes and mind. We are God's rainbows for those with clouds hanging above them.

Floater here. LOVE it. I get to go to different units. I just jump right in. From tele to post partum to psych to medsurg to acute rehab to tcu to outpatient. I love outpatient. Admission and discharge. It is a fast track. It is exciting. The draw back in float is if it low census, then I have to use my pto. But sometimes they are short staffed on my days off and post partum and outpatient calls staffing and ask for me. Love the adventure. I love the daily change. I must be nuts. :-)

I like being float pool. It is like an adventure. I get to go 7 different units depending on their needs and I make friends in different units. The tough part is being put on call 2 days in a row because it cuts my income but I use my pto's. I just keep counting my blessings when the going gets tough. I had a little over 1 year of exp in one hospital then became float pool nurse in a hopsital near me. I pray when it is tough and being on call. When Im on call and they call me, I get lots of money. But if they dont call me, I pray and use my pto. I wash clothes and clean my kitchen and fold clothes and pray when im on call.
