Does anyone remember how long Memorial Hermann orientation and preceptorship is for ICU?

I was told it was about 6 months for IMU, but that it depends on each person. It could be longer or shorter based on how fast you pick stuff up.

Specializes in CVICU.

Peeps who will be working at MH in the med center (regardless of floor), DM me! Maybe we can add each other on fb/ get a group chat going so we are all in the loop and on the same page?

Has anyone heard back from HCA? I got an email a couple weeks back asking for unit preferences but haven't heard since.

Hey everyone, where are you considering living? How much are you budgeting for an apartment?

Going to live at home until i have saved enough for a house! But if i were going to live in an apartment i would not be spending more than $1000, and would not be living in downtown/med center.

If you are at the Medical Center and want to live close, it will likely be quite spendy but be picky and heavily research the neighborhoods you sign leases in. Stay away from the area near UH if possible. If you see a "good deal," in the downtown/med center area, it is probably too good to be true, so look at apartment reviews and neighborhood crime statistics. I LOVE Houston, but I moved to an undesirable area when I first moved here six years ago due to lack of research and felt very uncomfortable and nervous when out and about. Also, look up traffic time estimates on google maps because living "10-15 miles," from work, can still be a 40-minute commute on a bad day or if you live on roads with notoriously bad traffic.

That being said, there are tons of wonderful, beautiful neighborhoods in Houston. I have lived in Westchase, Memorial City, and Montrose and loved all those areas. Now that I have a family, I am out in the Clear Lake area, but my commute is a pain, but the school districts are amazing, so I take that loss.
