2. Memorial Hermann is planning on unpaid GN intersnship

   sbyramRN replied to RNQueen's topic in Texas

   Please name the profession....they might work for free while still in school, but they DO NOT work for free after obtaining a degree. Nurses obtain a LICENSE. Why would they work for free? I think Memorial Hermann is insulting. I would never w...

3. new grad needs suggestions

   sbyramRN replied to adelorme's topic in Pediatric

   I was hired out of nursing school into a pediatric ER. If you want Peds, then go for peds. Adult med surg and pedi are two totally different things.

6. Texas Children's Houston

   Also, TCH is ranked as the best employer in Houston. It is an excellent company to work for.

7. Texas Children's Houston

   sbyramRN replied to GTChick01's topic in Texas

   yep. that's right. But you only have to work two weekend days a month. If you commit to the weekender program (you work every friday, saturday sunday) your diff is much much more.

8. Starting Pay in El Paso, TX

   sbyramRN replied to epnursingstudent's topic in Texas

   Austin pays less, because everyone wants to live in Austin. No one willingly lives in El Paso...I was born and raised there, and couldn't wait to leave!

12. New Grad question

    sbyramRN replied to AnalegnaRN's topic in General Nursing

    we were told when we were hired that you had to work the 3p-3a shift for a year before you could request a shift change. Depending on what shift you wanted to change to, it could take another 2 months to a year or more to get moved.

13. where are the most new grad opportunities?

    sbyramRN replied to breanne6887's topic in Texas

    21 dollars an hour is VERY low. Not sure about the comment of the nurses being young. I work in a major hospital in the Medical center, and I will say on average, the average age of a GN on my unit (ER) is about 35. Not too young. I think the ma...

    It's feasible. I worked the day after Thanksgiving. My employer gave me off Christmas Eve and Day and New Years Eve. I work New Years day.

15. Job you would NEVER do in nursing....

    sbyramRN replied to Otessa's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a level 1 pediatric ER, and couldn't imagine working on anyone over the age of 20. So, I would never work with adults or a medsurg floor in peds.
