Hi fellow nurses, I have a 3 year old and 1 year old and will be starting a full time night shift position (3 12-hr shifts/wk) in a couple months. I am struggling to figure out childcare. Pros of a nanny are that I wouldn't have to drive the kids to ...

I just sent you a message!

Awesome!! Yes for sure!

Thanks so much, this is such a good idea! That's awesome! Such a good idea-and yes I would be partial to a nursing student too ?

Well if I didn’t need to sleep during the day that would be true but I will definitely need my sleep, so I’ll probably need 7-8 hrs of childcare during the day about 2 days a week. It’s just a matter of finding a solution that’s flexible.

Thought of that too- we may reach out to our church. We are new to the area though so don’t know too many people with any availability. Thanks!!

My husband (their dad) will be watching them whenever he can-weekends and nights of course, but he works outside the home 9-6 on M-F. We are thousands of miles away from family and sadly won’t be moving back near them any time soon. But we’ll just ha...

Oh OK cool! Nice to meet you!! I’m excited to start!

No official offer letters until late May/early June but they have called and made offers via phone!

Oh awesome. Haven’t heard much either... I messaged you details!

If any of you have accepted an offer in the NICU, feel free to direct message me! I would love to connect before we start ☺️

Oh, also Parkland JUST interviewed for their NICU residency on Friday. So I would think they would have postponed those interviews if they weren't planning on starting in July.

Yeah I understand why residency programs are logistically complicated during this time. However, I hope there is a way to continue the classes online. I don't see how close physical contact between nurses could ever be prevented, though-through prece...

OK good, I hope that means that Parkland is still continuing on with their residencies. I understand why it will be complicated though..

I haven't received my email regarding the health info survey, but the recruiter told me last week that I wouldn't need to schedule my health appointment until closer to start date, sometime in late May or June. I start in July. I would say if you sta...

I don’t believe they are suspending anything. I spoke with the recruiter last week and she said that the fellowship and residency begin in July.

I’m not sure but I assume so because they are making decisions next week... I’m bummed for you ?If someone declines an offer maybe they would reach out to interview more later on, not sure.

NICU resident interviews are today... NICU fellowship interviews were last week!

They did the fellowship interviews this past Friday and are doing the residency interviews this week and making decisions by next week.

For sure... hospitals LOVE internal hires in good standing!!

Oh interesting, good to know!

Thanks soooo much!

Does anyone know how many references (and what kind) Parkland requires? Do they send out the reference email after interviewing? Thank you!!

Oh WOW!.... do you happen to know about the fellow? Does that number include the fellows? Or is that only residents?

No, I never heard anything (applied to L&D at BUMC, Grapevine, and Irving) ?
