2. ADN/Magnet Hospitals/Ability to Find Work in the Metroplex

   Corkybabe12 replied to HeyHeyitsMaay's topic in Texas

   I graduated from TCC, and I plan on completing UTA's RN-BSN program soon. Best of luck to you all- just keep following up with those apps and check the sites often for job postings... many times they go up and then down within 24 hrs!

3. ADN/Magnet Hospitals/Ability to Find Work in the Metroplex

   Corkybabe12 replied to HeyHeyitsMaay's topic in Texas

   I just want to say that I am a fresh ADN grad (December 2010), and I landed an ICU position in a pediatric hospital that is magnet accredited. Now, with that being said, that is not the norm here. I graduated from a very respected program, and I wou...

   Corkybabe12 replied to Loly82's topic in Texas

   I would highly discourage you from dropping speech- I know it is tempting to only focus on your science classes, but like previously stated, people who have all classes done (with good grades and TEAS) take preference for seats. I am about to enter m...

7. TCC MENTAL HEALTH

   Corkybabe12 replied to smvtx23's topic in Texas

   It is really hard to get into any of them right now :-( BUT, you said that you have been a volunteer in the ED dept? I would seriously use that to my advantage- be persistent! I think what helped me get my position is that I had been a NICU volunteer...

8. TCC MENTAL HEALTH

   Corkybabe12 replied to smvtx23's topic in Texas

   Thanks! I hope your first semester was an enjoyable one- it is one of the hardest just because you have to get accustomed to the whole nursing school scenario. I had Aguilar for my clinical instructor- she is AWESOME. When I had her (prior to her div...

    Aw thanks for responding! I actually completed everything but the online app, and went to do that 2 WEEKS before the deadline, only to get a message saying it was no longer available. I called the HR dept and they told me that they "just decided to t...

    Sorry so long w no response! Unfortunantly I'm on my dad's insurance since I'm considered a FT student (but only juntil I turn 23 this Nov) so I couldn't tell you how much it is. I do know that several students have gone through a contact that the sc...
