1. Houston Nurse Residency Summer 2020

   ICUity replied to Future_BSNRN's topic in New Nurse

   I’m not sure but I would keep checking because I just got an email from our nurse educators that there would be a virtual meeting to meet the other people in the nurse residency group for MDA. I was hired in March, graduated in May, and began working...

   I’m working at MD Anderson. I was hired in March (graduated in May).

3. Houston Nurse Residency Summer 2020

   ICUity replied to Future_BSNRN's topic in New Nurse

   I agree! Times are tough, and as long as they put thought into your individual training, that's what's most important. I was originally concerned to be starting work without residency classes as well, but my educators, managers, unit, and preceptor h...

4. Houston Nurse Residency Summer 2020

   ICUity replied to Future_BSNRN's topic in New Nurse

   I'm currently a new grad that started working in the hospital already but without a residency. Typically they would have me in a residency class but I think I was the only new grad hired this time and then they cancelled the Summer residency. I have ...

5. Houston Nurse Residency Summer 2020

   ICUity replied to Future_BSNRN's topic in New Nurse

   I don’t know if ICU will be hiring. I doubt it since they seem so busy and stretched thin. It does seem like they were planning to aim for a residency sometimes soon, though, since they told me I might have residency classes I can join in the fall or...

6. Houston Nurse Residency Summer 2020

   ICUity replied to Future_BSNRN's topic in New Nurse

   Did you mean my job or what HCA was calling about? I didn’t catch the location if they mentioned one because I was handling a few things at work. For my work, I accepted the offer for MD Anderson ICU back in early March. It is a residency but they e...

   ICUity replied to Future_BSNRN's topic in New Nurse

   I don’t remember if she mentioned the location. I was at work and a million things were going on ? so I just told them I took another ICU job. They were nice and said thanks for letting them know and good luck. Hope that helped a bit! Oh, and I wa...

   They called me on Monday about their ICU, but I told them I had accepted another offer (was actually at work when I answered the call).

9. MD Anderson Nurse Residency Summer 2020

   ICUity replied to mst34732743r's topic in Job Hunt

   This is what happened to me with HCA. They called me 2 weeks ago and told me they still are interested and asked what units and locations I wanted. They said they would be recontacting people in June for sure. I told them I accepted another position ...

    Thanks! Staying hopeful for everyone's sake. If things can calm down with covid sooner, than all the residency programs can get back on track.

11. MD Anderson Nurse Residency Summer 2020

    ICUity replied to mst34732743r's topic in Job Hunt

    Thank you! I was so excited to accept the position, and now I’m just praying it doesn’t fall through. I didn’t work there but I had my first clinical shift there and had a great rapport with my clinical instructor that is an MDA nurse instructor. I a...

12. MD Anderson Nurse Residency Summer 2020

    ICUity replied to mst34732743r's topic in Job Hunt

    Thanks! I applied at the beginning of March, interviewed and got an offer the next day. It was earlier than usual, so I don’t want to alarm anyone bc I don’t think they interviewed anyone else after that and corona hit soon after. I think they are pr...

13. Texas Children's Summer 2020

    ICUity replied to student nurse Samantha's topic in Job Hunt

    I really don't know which it is, if people are losing their original offers or if they're just delaying the rest of the offers and the program. That's just what my preceptor texted me because she wanted to give me a heads-up.

    ICUity replied to mst34732743r's topic in Job Hunt

    Hi all, Just letting you know, I received a call from HR bc I was supposed to start at MDA this Summer. I accepted an offer right before the quarantine began in early March. They are pushing the start dates to September 8th bc the Summer session is c...

15. Texas Children's Summer 2020

    ICUity replied to student nurse Samantha's topic in Job Hunt

    I heard through the grapevine (my old preceptor) that the people who got offers are being cancelled. I have no idea if this is true or not, but it is what I heard. I really hope not bc I have a lot of friends that are waiting on TCH.
