I’ve been checking the website and it isn’t updated? What link did you use?
nevermind. I found it.
I found it by searching through all job openings
Yeah, I searched their career section and it popped up. I submitted my application right after.

I plan on applying to the Houston nurse residency programs.
Does anyone know if we can begin these programs with a compact license? I tried finding contact info for each hospital but was unsuccessful.
Has anyone received the checklist from HR?
Not yet.. it usually takes them a while to send it
Okay. Thank you! I thought I messed up or something.
CHI St. Luke's is also open!

Most hospitals allow you to start even just as a "Graduate Nurse" before you take your NCLEX, so I am certain if you have a compact license (TX is a compact state) that should not be an issue. I took my NCLEX and got my license in a state different from where I am currently working & the state issued me a temporary license to work under until they reviewed all of my background & issued the official one. Once you are hired they are very willing to work with you to figure out these issues!
I still haven’t heard from Harris Health about the checklist but I heard back from st. Luke’s.
