    That's interesting. What hospital is/was hiring that many new people for the NICU? I'd love to know so I can apply! NICU is where I want to work. Were they hiring new grads or just RNs? Was t required to have experience in a critical care area?

14. New jobs anywhere?

    excessively_diverted replied to Macha156's topic in New Nurse

    I totally agree with RN2BDFW. It's extremely hard for new grads to get jobs in big cities here in TX unless they are already working in a hospital or have prior hospital experience. Many of the big hospitals in the DFW area will cut you regardless ...
