Is the fellowship a new thing? I'm honestly looking at this as a joke, they're trying to pay us minimum wage?

it has been going on for at least 2 years at Memorial Hermann (maybe more??). I know other hospitals do them also.

Which would you rather, a 6 month internship that gets you great experience and a high probability of a job (and you do get a stipend), or searching for a year with not job in sight?

I understand this is a good opportunity. I also think its exploitation of how desperate some new grads are in finding a job in big places like Houston. 1500 a month is honestly is minimum wage, an apartment is at least 700 a month unless its in the scary part of town. That doesn't include gas, and food for when you're not working. Also theres a 500 registration fee? They might as well not give us allowances for parking and uniforms. Sorry I'm a complete debbie downer here. I just think its a bit much after all we're paying for school, nclex, rent, and graduation.

Congrats on getting a Match Day invitation! I also got one for tomorrow. Do you have any idea if this will be a group interview or one interview to a panel of interviewers?

Specializes in NICU.

The graduate residency is different than the fellowship right...I recently applied to the program. Still waiting to hear back.

I doubt it. From those who have received jobs as out of state applicants those that I know had to pay for moving expenses. You can write it off on your taxes though.

The residency and the fellowship are different. The residency leads to a job and the fellowship is like a "try it out and see if you like it" opportunity.

I went to match day yesterday and received a callback today for another interview on the unit, ortho trauma. So keep your phones handy! :)
