5. Which hospitals claim to be on a hiring freeze?

   BrittRN2b replied to BrittRN2b's topic in Texas

   That is awful! I hope she gets another job offer that works out better for her.

6. Which hospitals claim to be on a hiring freeze?

   BrittRN2b replied to BrittRN2b's topic in Texas

   I don't understand how TCH remains staffed in the NICU. From what I was able to gather they only hired like one or two new grads the past few semesters. Then again, I've heard that their nurses basically never leave, so maybe they just don't have man...

7. Which hospitals claim to be on a hiring freeze?

   BrittRN2b replied to BrittRN2b's topic in Texas

   I know for a fact that Hermann in the med center is not on a hiring freeze. Myself and lots of other classmates have been hired for the June 2009 internship. Something like 16 are hired into NICU, 4 to 8 in ER, a handful in women's services, quite a...

10. Is this considered nepotism?

    BrittRN2b replied to BrittRN2b's topic in General Nursing

    Well considering they did not know about the pending brotherinlaw sisterinlaw relationship when the hiring took place, there is no way it could have been favoritism. Basically, Sue is afraid that she and Bob will get in trouble for being in laws an...

    Scenario: Bob applies for a job at a unit where his brother's fiance, Sue, is a staff nurse. Large unit of about 100 staff nurses so it is not likely that they will ever work together anyway. Both Bob and Sue will be staff nurses, no supervisory o...

13. How intense is the accelerated BSN program?

    BrittRN2b replied to dallasmommyof1's topic in Texas

    I am in the accelerated BSN program at UT Houston. It is challenging but not overwhelming. It is a lot of reading and self-study. We are on campus about 3 times a week the first semester and then just once a week the second and third semesters ju...

14. How twisted am I?

    BrittRN2b replied to nebrgirl's topic in Psychiatric

    If you are sharing your delight in finding a specialty that suits you, congratulations! However, if you are you saying you were jumping for joy to find a client cutting her wrists, I find that a bit disturbing.

15. Where is the "nursing shortage" still going strong?

    BrittRN2b replied to Kingfish72's topic in New Nurse

    South Texas also known as "the valley" has a severe nursing shortage. I've heard of some large bonuses to try to attract nurses. Knowing Spanish is important.
