Dear Sassve, It has been some time since you initially posted this note. However, I am the Recruitement Manger at University Medical Center of El Paso, (formerly Thomason Hospital). UMC of El Paso is a 327-bed acute care hospital. We are El Paso's only Level 1 Trauma Center and teaching facility. We are affiliated with Texas Tech University Health Science Center.

We would be very intersted in speaking with you about nursing opportunities at our hospital. Spanish is not required! Please feel free to contact us at 915-521-7950.

My first nursing job was at RE Thomason in El Paso while my husband was stationed at Fort Bliss. On any given night, up to 75% of my patients spoke only spanish but I made it and I was a new grad. I do wonder however if I had been more experienced if I might have thought twice about taking that position.


Anyway, the folks were very nice, in fact that was one of the most pleasant working environments I ever had. El Paso can be quite beautiful but I can't say I otherwise enjoyed our time there. It was very different culturally than what I was used to and that isn't bad, it's just different. I was relieved to get away. Oh well, good luck!

Call them, the addition project and medical school plans are in full swing. Landing at their heli-pad is a bit tricky because of the cranes; however, UMC is a pretty busy place. Well, busier than normal.

I know this question as been asked before but it's an old thread. Thanks for any insight you may have!!!!

Ps.
I don't speak spanish; is it a requirement??
I recently moved to El Paso and my story is almost the same as yours. I have worked in the ER and Urgent Care mostly. Any advice?
