  1. How did you get your RN Residency?

    contramanda replied to Aloysia's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Just a tip I found helpful, keep a little document for yourself that reminds you of situations that occurred during clinical. That way, when it's time to interview, you'll be able to remember clinical...

    contramanda replied to Dancingnurse8's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I didn't get the scrubs info until I went into HR for my new employee health screen and to turn in my

  3. Depression and Nursing school

    contramanda replied to Pnutlife's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry you are dealing with this. If you have a professor you are particularly close with, like a clinical instructor, I would consider being open with them. I don't know about Chamberlain, but the...

  4. Job outlook for ADN's

    contramanda replied to Nickc58's topic in Nursing Career

    Where I live, the ADN program has an excellent reputation for teaching great clinical skills. No one in my class has had trouble getting a job. People are getting hired into ICUs, ERs, L&D,...

    contramanda replied to baleen's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I've had people in my ADN program get hired into ICUs at Level I and Level II trauma centers...no

  6. Question About Hiring in ED

    contramanda replied to KrCmommy522's topic in Emergency

    Look for a new grad residency that is for ED specifically. Where I live, they start posting positions up to 6 months before the start date, so most people have jobs before we even graduate. It's a lot...

  7. Moving to Austin w/ ER experience, advice on hospitals

    contramanda replied to totoroll's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm not sure, I'm only doing my clinicals there so I don't really have insight into their hiring process. One of the nurses I was with on the trauma side had been a M/S nurse for a couple of years but...

  8. Moving to Austin w/ ER experience, advice on hospitals

    contramanda replied to totoroll's topic in Texas Nursing

    St. David's South Austin Medical Center just became a Level II trauma last year and is the busiest St. David's ER. I believe they have around 70-ish beds. One side is a regular ER side and the other...

  9. TriStar Nurse Residency Program

    contramanda replied to Shanneliz SRNA's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I spoke with the recruiter and she said it depended on the hospital, but base pay is about $22.20-$22.70. Differentials depend on the hospital as well. In other news, I recently accepted another offer...

  10. New Grad Job Search Anxiety

    contramanda replied to YankeeRose11's topic in Nursing Career

    I really think it's a lot of luck. ER jobs are hard to get. I am also graduating with my ADN. I interviewed for ER positions at a couple of hospitals and they all said they had literally hundreds of...

  11. New Grad ED Interview: Situational

    contramanda replied to newnurse866's topic in Emergency

    I had a worksheet where I was given 7 scenarios and had to prioritize them and list the actions/interventions I would need to implement or expect to

  12. TriStar Nurse Residency Program

    contramanda replied to Shanneliz SRNA's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You're right! But I haven't spoken to an HR recruiter through this whole process, so I'm unsure of who my contact would be. Pay was not brought up during the interviews and it comes off as a taboo...

  13. TriStar Nurse Residency Program

    contramanda replied to Shanneliz SRNA's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Do y'all have any idea of what the base pay is like? I've seen some numbers but they are from posts a few years

    contramanda replied to Shanneliz SRNA's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I applied ED first and ICU was my second option. Fingers crossed for all of

  15. Seton/Dell Children's Nurse Residency July 2017

    contramanda replied to futurepedirn's topic in Nursing Career

    I had a phone interview with the recruiter last week that was supposedly for the PICU, but he asked my questions related to location and unit preferences, so it seemed like more of a general...

  18. TriStar Nurse Residency Program

    contramanda replied to Shanneliz SRNA's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have no real idea. They made it sound like a big thing where all the departments sit down and go over the applicants and then choose which ones they want on their "team". But really, I have no idea....

  19. TriStar Nurse Residency Program

    contramanda replied to Shanneliz SRNA's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I did hear from Southern Hills that notification should begin April 19th and at Skyline they said to anticipate hearing something the week

  20. TriStar Nurse Residency Program

    contramanda replied to Shanneliz SRNA's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I applied and interviewed at Centennial, Skyline, and Southern Hills and am hoping to move to Nashville from out of state as well! It is very frustrating, especially since I've applied to places here...
