Has anyone applied to the fall residency? I applied but haven't heard anything either way, however I noticed some new listings within the past few days that say they start October 2013 (I was under the impression it started in September.)
I called and left a message with one of the recruiters, but now i'm wondering if they pushed the start date back because of the government survey. If they didn't pass they probably wouldn't have hired a bunch of new nurses.
Anyone hear anything about the ED residency? I wonder if it has the same contract......
It does. It used to be two years but it's changed over the last couple years. I'm kind of disappointed, I was hoping it was just ER that had the three year commitment. I don't mind too much, and I'll take it if I have to but it seems like a long time.
Applying a couple of days ago might have been too late...... the email we received said that we only had 24 hours to accept an interview. But who knows!! Good luck!! I think I only submitted my resume, but I have experience. As a new grad, submit everything you have, haha!!
I have experience too, did you submit a skills checklist or are taking one to interview? I didn't, but was thinking it might be a good idea to take with me. Although, I did a good job (I think) of describing my ICU experience and what I've worked with and am proficient at doing.
Dang it on the ER contract. I want to get my hands on it and read the fine print. How can they expect any nurse to be able to pay $20K if they need/want to leave. As I said, ridiculous. I mean, I understand it costs a lot to train new nurses, but that is way too much of a penalty.
About the skills check list, I definitely don't think it would hurt. I will probably put together some sort of portfolio of the types of patients I have cared for.
I received an email last night saying my application was transferred to the hiring manager. I hope it's not too late, I really want to get in... And if they weren't taking applications anymore I hope they would have taking the ad down from their job page already.. Who knows!
Yeah, maybe the email we got a couple of days ago was just for the first round of applicants. They will hire people up to a week before the residency starts. You're right... who knows!!
Hi, I just graduated from a LVN program in Houston Tx and will be taking my Nclex in three weeks. I am looking in the Houston area to possibly find a company that will hire me before I get my license. Does anybody know of any jobs that will hire me before I actually took Nclex.

Did y'all get the SICU fact sheet? 3 year contract or $20k? Ugh. I think that is ridiculous.
