I got an email last night with the official offer and paperwork. I was hoping they would be more clear on the requirements regarding NCLEX. Does it have to be taken before we start?

Multiple people have mentioned starting a facebook page. Is anyone up for doing that so we can have better communication?

1. Where can I find the application at?! The email says go to seach jobs and search nurse resident, nothing comes up. I graduate in August from a BSN program in East Texas. The school just sent the Parkland Nurse Residency information out to us. I am looking for advice as Parkland was one of my top places to work. I have work history in internal medicine, pediatrics, and EMS prior to starting the nursing program. I had planned on starting off in an ED anyway. I had some questions, maybe anyone could help me with? Obviously the pay is not what you can get starting off some places even as a new grad, but I feel the expirience would be invaluable. Especially, since I'd like to get my trauma certs, and all that. I assume the nurse residency program is part time with no benefits. I wonder if thats for the entire 3yr contract or just for the nurse residency period? Just looking if overall other new grads think this is worth it. It's 1hr 42 mins (plus Dallas traffic) from my house so I would have to stay in hotels or get a small apartment. That being said, any place with good expirience is over an hour from my house. My work options really are Dallas or Longview/Tyler. Thanks to whomever started this post btw, great info on here!

I think you have 4 weeks after the program starts to take the NCLEX.

The residency is a full time employment with benefits. The residency training ranges from 14 weeks to 20 weeks depending on the department. Upon passing and completing the residency you  get promoted from nurse resident to RN 1.  I’m in the ICU residency currently. We finish on June 22nd. But I do anywhere from 36-40 hrs a week. This isn’t a part time job.

You have 4 weeks from the start of your residency. Personally I believe it’s best to take the exam prior to the start of the residency. Employment is contingent on passing.
