No i have not, have yo tried applying to parkland? i have an ADN and i have applied to literarily all parkland positions but i have not got one single call or interview, but being that you have a BSN, i have heard that they love BSN's, so try and apply.

For me, i am starting next week with an home care called MGA, they are in Plano Texas and they are willing to train me. Just something to get my foot in the door and and RN with experience, the sky is the limit, but an RN with no experience, its been kinda though and you have a BSN, so you have a better chance. I wish you good luck, we all need that don't we now.

That's weird that you are having trouble finding job, my friend is from another state and shes a new grad without hosp working experience. She applied to Methodist in dallas, and right away they called her for a position in ICU about a week ago. she has BSN though.

Specializes in Critical Care; Cardiac; Professional Development.

It isn't weird that the poster is having trouble finding work here in DFW. More accurately it is weird that Methodist would go with an out-of-state candidate when so many who live right here are crawling over one another looking for work.
