Hey all,
I'm an army wife whose husband is currently stationed in Texas. We're originally from the Baton Rouge area and when he gets out (in about 2 1/2 years) we'll be moving back. I'm in an ASN program right now and I'll be finished before we move back. My dream is to work at Womans. I love the hospital, plus myself and my two children were all born there. These are my questions:
1. Is Womans on some type of hiring freeze? I hear the city is "saturated with RN's". Is this true?
2. I will have an associates degree because the military is paying for it. They will not pay for a BSN. Does Womans hire RNs with just an associates? I am planning on getting my BSN but I'll need to work while doing so.
3. This isn't really a question but if anyone that works there or has worked there could give me some insight it would be greatly appreciated. Like I said...my dream job!

Sorry this is late but my grandmother works there so I hear everything. They were on a hiring freeze it has since been lifted and they are building a new hospital down further down airline hwy not sure when it will be open but I do know it difficult to get a job there its all about who you know.
