   Male_RN_2_Be... I interview with Meth next week for the ER Internship for June. Can you give me some info on how your internship has been so far and what you love about it? Also...you don't have to give me super specifics, but can you give me an id...

3. Does anyone know about the VA nurse residency program in Dallas?

   DallasMurse78 replied to Becky8's topic in Texas

   Med City new grads make about $22/hr plus shift diffs if you are nights/weekends. As for the VA, you get paid closer to $25 bc its a gov't facility and the benefits are great. I have a friend that just started her residency last month and she LOV...

4. Nursing market becoming oversaturated?

   DallasMurse78 replied to xpose85's topic in Texas

   It's really a multi-pronged issue. Yes, the market is being inundated with new grads. In Dallas, there are about 4 ADN programs that churn out 100-150 new grads each semester, plus Baylor, plus TWU, plus TCU, plus UT-Arlington. That is about 800 n...

5. I want to relocate to Dallas

   DallasMurse78 replied to Bella RN's topic in Texas

   What kind of "away from the bedside"? Like home health, or really far away, like pharm sales? :) I would maybe look at pharm sales or medical supply. Great pay and they love nurses for reps because the learning curve is much faster. Good luck!

6. CRNA's in Dallas

   DallasMurse78 replied to bdixon817's topic in Texas

   Yes, Pinnacle is the main group with Baylor and Presby and several other hospitals. Most CRNA's are employed with big Anesthesia groups nowadays. There are exceptions of course. But with the big groups you can avoid having so much call and get bet...

7. My first job!! How much should i get paid in San Antonio?

   DallasMurse78 replied to sanurse5's topic in Texas

   I agree with the others' comments. Even here in Dallas with all of our hospitals, we have a ton of nurses not getting graduate nurse spots. Some hospitals are only opening up 10-15 spots this summer. There are over 500 new grad nurses here in Dall...

8. Parkland info

   DallasMurse78 replied to CRIMSON's topic in Texas

   Was curious if you have heard from Parkland yet? I submitted all my app information to them about two weeks ago for ER as well as SICU and CPICU, but no call yet. I called the recruiter and they said that they would start interviews up again at the...

9. Pre-Nursing Student (TX) needs advice on what track to pursue :)

   DallasMurse78 replied to FutureNurseJT's topic in Texas

   I am about to graduate from Texas Woman's in Dallas and I can tell you it is a pretty well respected program locally. That being said, the ADN's are respected as well. I know that our school has a fast track program for people with a bach degree al...

10. Texas Nursing School

    DallasMurse78 replied to Princess_WannaBe's topic in Texas

    OK...this thread is a few years old, but hey...better late than never, right? I am just wanting to find out about TWU from those who (presumably) have now finished. What did you guys think? Did you run into students from other schools that had bad...

13. I'm really worried I may not be suited for this....

    DallasMurse78 replied to FuturoEnfermera's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I know how you feel. It will get better (or so I'm told). As far as the PA stuff, that is a route I am considering. Keep in mind that PA schools are just as competitive, if not more so, than CRNA schools. Mostly because of the high rate of ...
