1. UT Southwestern GN Internship

   thedit replied to JordanD's topic in Texas

   I currently work at the new CUH (on bone marrow transplant floor). And yes, we have a number of positions to fill, especially in ER and ICU! I would imagine they will be willing to take on a few new grads. Good luck!

2. Help! How do I stop blowing very good veins?

   thedit replied to bagbaje26's topic in General Nursing

   I can't believe it! I'm having the EXACT same problem. I've been a nurse for a year and a half, was average at getting IVs, and then all of a sudden--I blow EVERY vein. And I get stressed about it too, just like you. Getting the flash of blood isn't ...

3. The Lowdown on Austin Hospitals

   thedit replied to luv2yoga's topic in Texas

   To all the Austin Hospital Nursing questions: I went to nursing school in Austin (UT) although I work in Dallas now. I had clinicals in several hospitals and did an externship at Austin State Hospital (and worked there as a PNA for a while). The tw...

5. University of Texas Nursing Program

   thedit replied to andrewsvalesen's topic in Texas

   Hi, I am about to graduate from UT Austin SoN. It's a great school....but has its faults as well. As for applying, it's definitely good to start out as a UT student. If you have science courses that will transfer, then great! However, they WILL r...

6. New RN with no experience... finding job.

   thedit replied to heavensent88_RN's topic in Texas

   Hey girl, I can't believe you're nursing school didn't help prepare you for finding a job! Tsk tsk! In Austin, the Seton system (which includes several hospitals) has a Versant program that I believe lasts about 18 weeks and has been highly praise...

7. Any NY CITY hospital info is welcome

   thedit replied to ERpinup's topic in New York

   I'd recommend applying for your NYS license. This way you can tell nurse recruiters that it's in the works, or better yet, you can SHOW them the license. And be persistent. The HHC system (the gov't funded hospital system) is supposedly on a hirin...

8. Finding a Job!

   thedit replied to E.R. Rookie's topic in New Nurse

   Hey there, I am going to graduate myself this semester, and I currently live in Austin. Although...I lost my mind and applied for my license in New York, but that's another story for another time. A couple things: What state did you/are you going ...

   That is useful information for me and many others I'm sure. Thank you!

10. Visiting Nurse Service of New York

    thedit replied to Sammi15's topic in New York

    I'm sure this question depends on what area of homehealth you're dealing with, but I'm wondering if you get to practice a lot of skills doing homehealth, i.e. IV insertion, PICC care, ostomy care, etc.? Thanks!

11. Trying to decide which way to go (re: school)

    thedit replied to jlan79's topic in New York

    Have you talked to any advisors? I know it can be kind-of tough to actually speak in person to them, but maybe if you are persistent enough.... I know a lot of positions these days (esp in NYC) prefer that you have a Bachelor's degree....in nursing...

12. NY License Endorsement

    thedit posted a topic in New York

    Hi all, I am in my last semester of nursing school and have begun the application for licensure in the state of Texas (aka...paid the non-refundable application fee). I've done this because many have suggested getting my Texas license (I live there)...

13. Nyph

    thedit posted a topic in New York

    To the relatively new nurses out there: I am interested in applying to NYPH (Cornell or Columbia). On their website, it suggested new grads who graduate in May apply in late Jan. So that's what I plan to do. My question is: for anyone who started...

14. From KBCC to Hunter College or......

    thedit replied to Eccentric's topic in New York

    Hey Eccentric, To answer your questions about requirements, classes, etc. You definitely should visit the advising/admission offices of the colleges for which you want to apply. I don't know too much about those school as I go to UT (way down in Te...

15. TX to NYC- How do I get there?

    thedit replied to thedit's topic in New York

    Thanks to everyone for the advice/comments! I guess it's a good thing that I actually would prefer to do Med/Surg. Which NYP? Cornell? Anybody have any thought about HHC? I guess Bellevue more specifically... :smilecoffeecup:
