   Bridgette1998 replied to Future_BSNRN's topic in New Nurse

   Also got an offer at Conroe location. Never in my life had I had to wait almost 5 months for an offer! Needless to say I already accepted at a different position couldn’t put all my eggs in one basket. So sad because I really wanted it but hey everyt...

2. Houston Nurse Residency Summer 2020

   Bridgette1998 replied to Future_BSNRN's topic in New Nurse

   Do you mind PM’ing me where? And also it may be hard to get in a hospital, but definitely FAR from impossible. Maybe not in the Houston area, but many hospitals are in urgent need and will take whoever with a sign on bonus. I feel like do whatever ma...

3. Houston Nurse Residency Summer 2020

   Bridgette1998 replied to Future_BSNRN's topic in New Nurse

   When I spoke to her directly she told me she didn’t care if we had a couple months of experience (even as an RN!) because she understands the effects of covid & that we can’t remain unemployed. If anything it sounded like she preferred it LOL. I ...

4. Houston Nurse Residency Summer 2020

   Bridgette1998 replied to Future_BSNRN's topic in New Nurse

   LOL exactly!! Now she’s saying “September” we will hear. It went from March, to June, to July, now September??? I’m not trusting it. May look else where now. I would’ve rather them tell us the truth than give false hope. I would’ve have looked elsewh...

   HCA is updating us this week, & while you’re waiting to test I wouldn’t give up hope. She did recommend me to just work where I live, get the 1 year experience, then move because people are always hiring for experienced nurses. Only downside is I...

6. Houston Nurse Residency Summer 2020

   Bridgette1998 replied to Future_BSNRN's topic in New Nurse

   I know that they prefer new grads with no experience, however I came to her with the same concerns. She told me that she wouldn’t mind if I started working and had a month or two of experience before they contacted me back because she knows the situa...

7. Houston Nurse Residency Summer 2020

   Bridgette1998 replied to Future_BSNRN's topic in New Nurse

   I have an HCA update I spoke with the recruiter for about 10 minutes (honestly surprised she answered), this post may be a little scattered because she wasn’t clear, but I’m gonna post what I know. 1. They now have 1200 total applications. They opene...

8. Houston Nurse Residency Summer 2020

   Bridgette1998 replied to Future_BSNRN's topic in New Nurse

   So are they taking in even more new grads? Because that’ll be the only reason behind opening more applications. And since it says late Summer, it’s sounding like it may be until September until some of us may even start. Nonetheless, they should’ve h...

   Not sure if this means anything, but HCA just opened “late Summer/ early fall” applications on their site today.

    Bridgette1998 replied to Future_BSNRN's topic in New Nurse

    ? It’s insane. Interviews were on the 3rd, I can’t comprehend what’s taking so long. They already pushed dates back now. I can imagine some candidates probably started looking elsewhere.

    Bridgette1998 replied to Future_BSNRN's topic in New Nurse

    Off topic but are you out of state? Did you register NCLEX for Texas? I’m taking mine in Ohio (Where I reside) & hoping they’ll allow temporary licensure by the time of start date. Also agree! My lease is ending too & this short notice is not...

12. Houston Nurse Residency Summer 2020

    Bridgette1998 replied to Future_BSNRN's topic in New Nurse

    Thanks for that info! From the vibes I was getting it seems like they really needed people at that location, but I don’t want to jinx anything of course. If they’re planning on starting late July/early august then they HAVE to let people know within ...

    Bridgette1998 replied to Future_BSNRN's topic in New Nurse

    Also interviewed for the Conroe location, but for med surg & ICU step down. During it she said I would hear back in “a couple of days”.. haven’t heard anything. I’m just praying we hear something before July because I already had to cancel things...

    Bridgette1998 replied to Future_BSNRN's topic in New Nurse

    Did you check spam/junk? It didn’t really say much other than it’s taking them some time to get finalized with everything & we should hear from them at least within the next 2 weeks. Also if you have accepted any offer from a different hospital l...

    Also got the email. Kinda sucks how the interview got pushed back, now we have to wait an additional week before we hear anything.
