   bprwatson posted a topic in Texas

   Has anyone applied to the fall residency? I applied but haven't heard anything either way, however I noticed some new listings within the past few days that say they start October 2013 (I was under the impression it started in September.) I called an...

2. Opinions on Parkland's "nursing shortage"?

   bprwatson replied to HouTx's topic in Texas

   Interesting, all I know is that they are hiring new grads for September right now and there is no evidence that there is any sort of shortage! They've probably had half as many openings this time around as previously. Maybe less.

4. DFW Area new grad market, Is it really as dire as everyone makes it sound?

   bprwatson replied to bprwatson's topic in Texas

   Just read up on Group One and i'm not worried. I was completely honest on my application, have never had as much as a speeding ticket and all past and present employers love me. Or are you saying I should worry about being "blacklisted" in the future...

5. DFW Area new grad market, Is it really as dire as everyone makes it sound?

   bprwatson replied to bprwatson's topic in Texas

   My husband can work anywhere (he's self employed) however, I'm not comfortable moving unless I have a job. Utah is also a compact state I've called all the hospitals I've applied to and the TBON and I can practice under my compact license for 90 days...

   bprwatson replied to bprwatson's topic in Texas

   Thank you! It helps a lot! I was just confused about the openings because they posted new Nurse Resident Openings on 5/28 If you don't mind my asking, whats the difference between a hospitalist and medical floor? Probably seems like a silly question ...

8. Urgently looking for information on Parkland Residency Programs

   bprwatson posted a topic in Texas

   There are a lot of Parkland threads for past and present Residencies. We are considering a move to Dallas when I graduate (if I get a job of course). I've called the recruitment office at least 6 times in the last 2 weeks and either I never get throu...

9. Parkland New Grad Med-Surg Fellowship Program

   bprwatson replied to RNFAB27's topic in Texas

   I called and talked with the recruitment office. I was told they have a September start but now you have me worried! I guess I'd better call back and double check. Searching this forum though, it appears they've had September starts in past years (se...

    Does anyone know how the fellowship listings are different than the residency's? Pay? Length of program?? I'm applying for the September start but can't get a hold of anyone at the recruitment office to ask! Congrats to all!! I hope to join you in Se...

    I'm in Utah right now, I graduate in July and we Plan on moving to Texas as soon as I've taken my boards, does this mean I can take my test here but have the results sent to TX and be licensed there?? Or am I completely misunderstanding what you said...
