   I did my background check back in March. Since I’m an internal employee transferring units I didn’t have to do an occupational health screen or drug test again. When I first started at utsw I had to do all of that like 2 weeks before my start date.

   You should’ve done a background check and drug screen before your start date.

   Has anybody received word of a schedule for orientation week from their managers? I haven’t heard anything. Getting a little nervous since we’re only a week out. Also wondering if we have to come in person or get to do orientation online at home.

   Hi. They only accept applications from BSN nurses. The only way to apply with an ADN is to already be an employee at UTSW so you should be good. I’ll be graduating with an ADN in May and starting my residency in the ICU at UTSW in July.

    I think if ED is what you love you’d be doing yourself a huge disservice by starting on Med Surg just because of the hospital. I’ve heard good and bad things about Parkland but one thing I know for sure is they WILL teach you how to be an ED nurse. I...

    I’m currently a PCT at UTSW. They have the best pay for techs and since it’s a state hospital insurance is free and 100% paid by the company. I’ve worked at another level 1 hospital in Dallas and I must say my managers at UTSW are the best I’ve ever ...

    I received an email to sign up for an interview this past week. They are going to be in person starting next week (if you’re located in Dallas) so I don’t think they will make any decisions for a couple of weeks. I declined as I’ve accepted a positio...
