   Sunshine09RN replied to nurseaggie's topic in Texas

   I, too, applied for Baylor and Parkland's NICU residency programs. I got the email from Baylor saying they were canceling the internship due to staffing needs. I tried calling Parkland yesterday and they said they were still reviewing applications ...

2. Are the positions at Baylor real?

   Sunshine09RN replied to L&DRN03's topic in Texas

   I'm not sure about the positions for experienced nurses, but I applied for the NICU internship and received an email saying "for business purposes, they have decided to cancel this year's NICU program." Maybe they are overstaffed? I've also heard th...

   Thanks again, Twenty-ten! I was eyeing a NICU position at Harris HEB, but they removed it before I could apply. Oh well, maybe next time. And Chica, sorry to intrude on your post

4. switching to 3rd shift

   Sunshine09RN replied to 1stTimeNurse's topic in General Nursing

   Congrats on the new job!! I, for one, LOVE working night shift. There are less doctors, administrators, families, etc. around and I think the night-shift staff are a lot more laid-back. I work 7p-7a (3 times a week), so my schedule is a little dif...

5. General Question about Background Checks/Previous Employment

   Sunshine09RN replied to Sunshine09RN's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks for the information. This is exactly what I was looking for. I just finished a second-degree BSN, and I had several "casual" jobs throughout my many years of college. Guess I'll be listing them all (if asked to do so) just to be on the safe...

   Thanks for the wonderful info Twentyten! Since you seem to be the expert, do you know anything about the Fort Worth THR facilities? Especially Harris HEB? I appreciate all the help! :)

9. Hospitals offering NICU new grad RN internships?

   Sunshine09RN replied to Sunshine09RN's topic in NICU

   You are right....there are a lot of topics with the exact same question being asked. I just wanted to cover all my bases and not leave any hospitals out, especially since it seems to be so difficult finding specialty positions as a new grad. I figu...

10. how much time did you study a day in nursing school?

    Sunshine09RN replied to johnnyDoGood's topic in General Nursing

    For most schools, I believe you need to get at least a "C" in every class to continue in the program. I am currently in an accelerated BSN program where we take 18-20 hours per semester. I still work 16 hours a week as a nurse's aide during the we...

    Sunshine09RN replied to Hisown's topic in Washington DC

    Does anyone know if they are going to be hiring in the Women's/Children's Services (OB, NICU, Post-partum) for the April or July groups? I keep checking their website and they only have Cardiac and Medical RN Residencies listed...

14. Any opinion? Hurst vs. Kaplan N anybody who plan to take Kaplan review...

    Sunshine09RN replied to LovelyOrange's topic in NCLEX

    I'm sure if this helps since I didn't take the Kaplan review, but I would definitely do the remediation portion of the Hurst Review. It doesn't cost anything extra so you might as well take advantage of it. Also, did you do the online supplemental ...

15. Pearsonvue Trick Is this TRUE? Does it work every time?

    Sunshine09RN replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX

    This "trick" definitely worked for me! Took the NCLEX February 2nd in TX and checked the Pearson Vue website as soon as I got home. It didn't let me pay by credit card, and I found out 2 days later that I PASSED!!!
