   I hope y'all rocked the NCLEX today! Just 48 hours until you know for sure :) I will keep y'all updated on anything else that I hear. So far, nothing since the email about updating applications. My friend who is starting in October as well emailed ab...

2. UT Southwestern Fall 2013 Internship

   kevsgirl1 replied to kevsgirl1's topic in Texas

   Hey Kza321! I hope that studying is going well for you! I am officially an RN and it feels surreal. I wanted to update you on some scrub info I just received. We can only get scrubs through one company. There are about 4-6 different pant styles and 6...

3. UT Southwestern Fall 2013 Internship

   kevsgirl1 replied to kevsgirl1's topic in Texas

   I had 75 questions. I would love to give you advice, but I am worried about it because it would be specific to what I saw on my test and that would be breaking all of the confidentiality agreements The most I can say is make sure and study the manag...

   I took the NCLEX this morning and got the "good pop up" when trying to register just now. It was not easy by any means, but I have heard it is supposed to feel difficult when you pass! Good luck and keep studying :)

   Thank you! That is so exciting to have an actual test date. It made me more nervous to have a date scheduled, but also made me study harder. You will be so ready in 2 weeks to take it! I take mine on Wednesday, so no studying for me today and tomorro...

   kevsgirl1 replied to kevsgirl1's topic in Texas

   I have not signed one yet. I was assuming that once we take the med test, drug test and whatever else we are supposed to be doing soon that we will sign one. No idea. Let me know if you find anything out. Also, have you been contacted yet like the em...

7. Graduating in December 2013 with BSN (Dallas area)

   kevsgirl1 replied to ediitundoo's topic in Texas

   I think GPA matters around here. I have gotten interviews for 5 competitive ICU positions in large hospitals in Dallas. I did not go to nursing school in Dallas and did not know anyone in the hospitals. I was told by many people that GPA did not matt...

8. Parkland Fall 2013 Residency

   kevsgirl1 replied to bprwatson's topic in Texas

   I got the SICU email as well... Parkland is more competitive than other hospitals in the area as far as pay goes. I would guess $24-$26 an hour.

9. Parkland Fall 2013 Residency

   I also received an email from Parkland today requesting and interview for their ER Residency starting in late October. I will not be accepting due to already taking another offer in my preferred specialty. Good luck everyone!

    I am very impatient as well! Cannot wait to meet everyone and get started! My application was locked as well. I sent her an email and she sent me the same kind of message back. It must be something with the system and not us!

    kevsgirl1 replied to kevsgirl1's topic in Texas

    I just realized I did not answer one of your earlier questions - Before my interview I was given a folder with information about benefits, holidays, and preparation for the med test. Maybe only the manager need the logo? I am just ready to get some ...

    I did not do Hurst because I honestly did not want to take the time to do it. I hope that does not come back to bite me! Many people in my program did the Hurst and found it very helpful... I graduated from the Accelerated BSN program at TCU. Maybe ...

    kevsgirl1 replied to kevsgirl1's topic in Texas

    My school had us do a mandatory Kaplan review. Last time I checked, the 16th was still open as a test date (if you are planning on taking it in the DFW area). Where are you coming from and graduate from? I hope we can get the scrubs from somewhere ot...

    kevsgirl1 replied to kevsgirl1's topic in Texas

    I got a benefits summary when I went for my interview! They have pretty awesome benefits! The scrubs are all the same (even for respiratory therapists). They are the dark blue color and are embroidered with UT Southwestern logo on them. I am unsure w...

    Congrats! I know that for ICU, I have a 3 month orientation and then have to sign a 2 year "commitment" (contract) to work for UT Southwestern. That is all that I know right now!
