Specializes in Case mgmt., rehab, (CRRN), LTC & psych.

Go ahead, break the ice, and introduce oneself!

I guess I'll start. I'm originally from California, and have resided in Texas since late 2005. I've been an LVN since January 2006, and I currently work in the rehab section of a skilled nursing facility in Fort Worth. Since August 2006, I have earned 38 college credit hours worth of prerequisite classes to be applied toward one of several local LVN-to-RN bridge programs.

OK, here's me:

Born and raised in South Texas, graduated as a Paramedic in 2001, and as a nurse in Feb. 07. Working in the ER now, but starting to peek around and see what else is out there. I'm interested in PACU, OR, and flight nursing. I guess that's about it!

Hi, I was born and raised in the Houston area and have lived there my whole life. I just finished my first semester of a BSN program and am so excited about the next two weeks of not "thinking"...

I just got married this summer to the most amazing man on the planet, we have one child (though most of you would consider him a "dog") with the cutest black curly hair and little waggling tail...

I love Texas, the people and the weather... and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else!

Hi I am from Texas; I have 3 kids (13, 10 and 5) and live at Saginaw. I have a first degree in financial economics and this is a second chance to change carrier for a better life and also do what I enjoy doing most, which is helping others. I currently work as a PCA with a local agency and love my job, I did this to help me gain experience working with sick people, and yes, this has given me experience in working with Alzheimer's, paraplegic and Parkinson clients. I just got accepted into TCC and will start this spring; I would like to be a CRNA eventually. More power to nurses. :smilecoffeecup:
