1. First Job

   candiam replied to PediLove2147's topic in Pediatric

   It may actually be a bad idea to start in adult med/surg because then you will be competing against nurses with peds experience for a pedi position. I went into peds right after graduation and it was definetly the best decision. :-)

   candiam replied to abbabask's topic in Texas

   As far as I know Dell Children's is not affiliated with any Univ. Students from all over central Texas do clinicals there though. I graduate in May and I applied there and I've been told they are not hiring new grads. Scott and White in Temple also h...

14. Dell Children's

    candiam replied to abbabask's topic in Texas

    Where did you graduate from? I graduate in May and your situation is what I'm afraid of. I also wouldn't be happy on an adult med/surg floor. But anyway, I just finished my pedi clinical on a med/surg floor at Dell Children's and LOVED it!! That hosp...
