   Prettyladie replied to rnamelia's topic in Texas

   Parkland just sent me the sample contract and info about ED residency. There was 20+ people cc in the email. I just declined my spot in the reply of the email so keep up the hopes that might be called! Good luck!

2. Anyone applied for an Internship for Scott & White, June 2012?

   Prettyladie replied to aghols12's topic in Texas

   When I had my interview they didn't ask me any clinical questions and I still got the job. So don't feel bad. My interview was very laxed, we talked about when I lived in Europe, and Kate and William, very casual.

   I heard that there was such a high turn over rate with people leaving during and after the internship before contract was up, and they were losing money. I'm not sure how true that is though.

5. Should I Stay or Should I Go?

   Prettyladie replied to KLG2004's topic in Texas

   Not to cause a riot between you and your husband, but I think that's a terrible decision. You wil essentially hate our job. I only wanted ER when I graduated, and at all costs, so ultimately I ended up having to move outside of Dallas for a year, and...

   Was yours June 2012? Or June 11. Mine was Jan 2012, so if those were the rates that you were given then it went up, but if it was the year before then yeah it did go down..

   Those rates were for us in January, so it may have changed! It was 18, for GN, then when we passed boards it was 20, then 24.90 when we got off. Who knows, at least they know base is 24.90 :)

    My friend's was 8 weeks. Mine was 16, but I was in the ED. And yes there is a contract. I believe Med-Surg is a year. Mine was 18 months.

11. First interview for the ED, help!

    Prettyladie replied to caseywestt's topic in Emergency

    Ask how you will be evaluated in your program, will you have more than one preceptor. Will you have an opportunity to rate them. Ask if you feel uncomfortable at the end of the residency, can it be extended.

    I have been a RN right around a year at another Level 1 facility in the ER. Went through an internship, 16 weeks, and all that jazz, and now I'm moving back to the City, and will be working in another Level 1 ER. I don't know what it is, but I'm nerv...

    If you are a GN pay is 18, if you are a RN, the pay is 20, until you get off of internship, then it goes to 24.90, which is base for Staff nurse.

    Hopefully you will hear something soon. I wish the opportunity would work out with my schedule, but it just doesnt. Good luck to everyone. I was so excited to know at least this time they wanted me! But on the other hand, I start my new job Dec 17! :...
