   I just started the StaRN program and they do send you the offer to sign via DocuSign ~month before. You can accept now but it’s verbal, take it back if you want to. You can recant your offer until the day you’re supposed to start. You may piss someon...

   Did you accept the position?? I still live far from SE but I attended clinical there for OB and enjoyed it and the drive there was way easier from my side of town compared to West

   I wish it was the SE location, I’d rather drive there than the one they offered. It’s just called HCA West but I live north going towards the woodlands

   I totally agree, they’re shady. I already graduated in Dec but didn’t want to start until June/July (I had a baby) and when I started applying again all the interviews were for fast start dates even though I kept telling recruiters I couldn’t. It’s l...

   After my whole ordeal with them last week, she said as long as I try to interview ~month before the anticipated residency start date there will be positions open. If you're in contact with any recruiter specifically, just keep their number/email hand...

   HCA has a great nurse residency program and new grads tend to feel confident and supported throughout the 2yrs. Downside is that it is a 2yr commitment, so if it’s not a unit you love there’s no switching and there’s a possibility of not loving your ...

    What li87 said. There’s a ton of ppl online, majority were without cameras on. Too many ppl for them to notice who’s on, dressed up, it’s not a session for them to get to know us.

    They have an awesome residency program and those who’ve gone through it feel supported and confident. Downsides - pay is lower than surrounding facilities and 2yr contract with monetary repayment if you don’t complete. So if it’s not a dream unit the...

    Looking back through my emails, I don't remember their application dates but I received an email 09/21 from a St. Luke's recruiter to submit the survey (nurse residency survey that had some questions on it, updated resume with GPA, and transcript) an...

    They did. Side note - I forgot to add. On the survey they had applicants fill out, ICU was crossed out but I know a few ppl who will be starting ICU here in a few weeks.

    For St.Luke’s, I applied and interviewed with the previous cohort (having a baby in March and decided to hold out and reapply for Summer 2021 start.) Once they prescreen the apps, they offered unit specifics to us to interview for and we were able to...
