MD Anderson RN Program 2015

[ilovemaxpuppy]

hey guys,

I just found out that i didnt get accepted to this programn which is starting Feb 2015. Do you guys know what they're exactly looking for? or the process of this application? when i was done with the interview, i felt good about it and im not just saying that just bc they were being friendly, i really came out of the interview .. thinking.. okay i think i did okay here. not to brag about anything but i also felt like i had other things on my resume that will push me forward compared to my other competition.. like im a army veteran, also have worked at MD Anderson as a PSNE previously. i felt like those qualities can help me?? no? i just dont understand what they're looking for. i was pretty crushed when i found out i didnt get accepted.. bc this is truly my dream job and i enjoy working on the oncology floor... i wasnt the best student.. and my gpa was kinda low.. 3.1? but atleast it was still above 3.0 im just really disappointed and kept asking myself... like what did i do wrong .. or whats wrong with me? can someone please explain how the whole hiring process work? thanks guys.. and truly congrats to everyone who got hired!!! must be super exciting to start a new real life =)

I just studied by myself using my hesi review book and doing any free practice questions I could find online. You'll do awesome! I heard Hurst is super good!

And I considered asking just in case, but I know most ppl got the chance to pick between several start dates but when I got my offer they just assigned me the latest one. No idea why. But I'll just try to sit back and enjoy my free time that I have left, especially because I'm still trying to figure out what I'm doing for my living situation.

We should talk more! I'll inbox you so that other people aren't getting alerts aha

I have a question. I applied and was going to send a thank you note but I have no idea who to sent it to!! I cannot find their contact information online and they did not have any business cards so I am just looking for a little guidance as to how to go about it and how important it is to send one. Any suggestion would help greatly!

Hi Phlisha!

I just accepted a position for the residency program at MDA starting in February. I was wondering if you could share with me you experience so far. How is it working for MDA? how is the nightshift? how is it with paper charting (since Ive heard they haven't transitioned to computer charting just yet)

any feedback will help alot. thanks a bunches!
