any Nurse techs in the Houston Area???

Hi RNQueen and Kittyn! Thanks for your responses! No, I have yet to find a job. :-( I am also a CNA but unfortunately, my school is out of town (5 hours away) so my clinical instructors aren't as familiar with the hospitals in Houston. I called the hospitals that's by my house and they don't hire techs. I applied at Texas Children's Hospital and that position was taken by someone else. I also applied at Ben Taub hospital (where my BF's mom is a nurse working 10+ years with them) and they have yet to give me any notice. My application just says 'in route'. This is just frustrating!!! I have even applied at assistaed living places, as well as nursing homes.

I don't get it. I'm a nursing student, and a CNA, and moderate in Spanish (and still learning). You would think I would at least get a phone call...

Update: I just got a call from Ben Taub, asking if I was still interested in a position. They want me to come in for this 'nursing test' this Thursday! I'm kind of nervous about what will be asked but I'm just glad I got a call back.I will keep you posted! Hopefully I will get this job! (God willing) How is the job search Kittyn?

Hey all! the interview went really well. I was interviewed by 4 people the the same time (talk about nerve wrecking) . RNqueen, I did make resumes for each of them, so I hope that made a difference. After the interview, they said they will send notification calls any time between 8-5 today. So you better believe that my phone will be glued to my hip...LOL. One thing that I liked about this position is that it's extremely flexible. And flexibility is my friend, since I go to school so far away from home.

Hedeyyy- Are you applying for a tech position too? I wish you well on your interview. My interview was nice. To prepare, just be yourself. Come professional and ready to impress. They asked me things about my nursing school and CNA experience, and why I wanted the position. Good thought provoking questions that they asked were things like 'what are your strengths/weaknesses?' or 'How would others describe you' and also 'Give a clinical example of a time that you independently used critical thinking skills to solve a problem.' That queston was the toughest one for me, honestly. But I never let them see me sweat. Whenever I am interviewed, I try my best to give an honest answer that's not exactly a generic 'cookie cutter' answer. That's always helped me get ahead, because I try to stand out.

I'm SO EXCITED, NERVOUS, and SCARED all at the same time. I will definatly let you know what happens later on today!!!
