MD Anderson

Hello all,

I am an Oncology nurse (3+yrs) with recent Bone Marrow Transplant experience (6 months) and am interested in transfering/relocating to MD Anderson Cancer Center. Onc is my "nich" and MD Anderson sounds and looks as though I could learn a great deal and increase my practice.

Anyone out there with knowledge/experience with working and applying at MD Anderson?

(Pushing towards the Montgomery area to live, we like small towns and we need land for horses)

Thanks in advance; any and all info is greatly appriciated! :up:

    If your wanting to live in Montgomery County and drive to MD Anderson in the Medical Center you will hate life. That is a horrible drive.

    Can't help you with the rest of your questions though, sorry.

    PP is correct. MDA is an enormous facility in the Texas Medical Center. All inpatient services are in that location - only clinic services in outlying areas. If oncology is your 'thing', you couldn't find a better place to work. They have a strong professional practice model, but you will probably need a BSN to be hired. Oncology certification would also add a lot of value to your application.

    Seriously - you need to examine the logistics of commuting. There is no real mass transit system in Houston. We love our cars! You don't want to be stuck in traffic for 4 hours a day - this could very easily happen if you decide to live in an 'exurb' (waaaay beyond a suburb). If you're looking for 'horse friendly' areas with a shorter commute time, look at areas south or SE of the city. On the 288 corridor towards Angleton or down in the Friendswood area.

    I have 1 class that I will finish this Winter semester and that will complete my BSN, also OCN will be completed after that so check on those two things before I leave Michigan. BUT I am a huge believer in balance (home and work) also I don't really like to commute, I would rather be close to work but if I had to commute I would. Both of your comments have been very useful/helpful.

    Maybe I should also look at UT and/or Dallas area? Just started but you have given me good insight!

    Thank you and feel free to send any thoughts my way!
