hi there! yes I accepted in September. I’ve been working there since. I love it, you should accept!

Hi! I wish I could help you with your question. I'm a new grad who just accepted a job in an adult hem/onc floor. how easy was it for you to transfer within to the peds unit? I'm looking to gain some experience in oncology and develop a basic understanding of chemotherapy administration, etc. and then transfer to the peds hem/onc unit (my dream) after a few years. will I struggle with this even if it's within the same hospital? I know nothing about transfer dynamics and all that. thank you for your help ❤️

Hi all! I created this thread a while ago when I was feeling very inadequate and not confident in myself. I was comparing myself to my peers in DFW who were able to land jobs with ease. I failed to realize that Houston area hospitals are slightly more competitive and that I needed to practice my interview skills. I took a break from applications and applied again this Summer. I landed 4 interviews, and received 2 offers from amazing institutions! I will be starting as an oncology nurse at MD Anderson in a few weeks ? After a few years, I hope to transfer to my dream unit- peds hem/onc. I'm so happy that I decided to wait. I was able to take a break for my mental health, practice my skills, and now I'm on the track to achieving my dream!

Hi yall! I’ve decided to go with a different offer, so I will be declining the PICU position at TCH. Does anyone have the email of the male interviewer? If so, could you DM it to me? I’d like to email him and thank him for his time.

both are amazing places to work! magnet status, great reviews... main difference is one has significantly better pay/benefits. Also, one offer is Adult Hem/Onc and the other is PICU! Because of covid, I did not have an oncology or pediatric clinical, so I don’t know how to decide which unit to choose ?

How would y’all make the decision between 2 offers? Both in TMC, both are critical patient populations, etc. My heart is pulling me one way but my head is telling me the other!

yes they called me today! I was at work though so couldn’t discuss any details and am calling them back tomorrow to talk about that. I did get an offer from MDA as well so I have to make a decision by tomorrow. they are giving me 24 hours

I got an offer for PICU!!

OMG congrats!

I had an interview with them Friday, August 6th and got a call 2 hours later but missed it. Second call came in the following Monday with an offer

OMG! I got an offer from the leukemia unit in the TMC as well! ?

Hi! I’d like to mention that when I scheduled the interview for PICU it was online!! Just something interesting since last time it was in person. I also had a 3.7 upon graduation.

Hi! I got the call to interview at 8pm today.

Hi! I am in the same boat and am wondering if you have any advice? I just accepted an offer to work on a Leukemia unit, night shift with a patient load of I'm assuming 1:5-1:6. Previously, I was doing pediatric home health for 3.5 years! I am super nervous and feel as if my knowledge is lacking, as I was not able to complete an oncology clinical rotation during covid of last year, the time it was designated for. If you could give me any advice it would be so appreciated ❤️

anyone here receive/accept an offer for MD Anderson??

Hi! did you end up working for MD Anderson? I have a couple questions ?

I just finished an interview with MD Anderson today. The interview was on zoom. There was a panel of 4 people, with one person muted with camera off. I answered every question to the best of my ability. I couldn’t help but notice throughout the entire interview that one of the interviewers was laughing. I’m not sure if it was at me or at something else, but it was very distracting and kind of ruined my confidence. As I was answering the questions, I would notice him laughing and it would make me lose my train of thought for a bit. I’m asking what do y’all think I should do? I think this definitely affected my interview, but IDK if contacting someone about it would make a difference in them hiring me or not.

from what I've gathered in previous interviews, most residencies begin with classes, mostly focusing on the hospital's protocols/rules/policies/etc. I've heard some residencies also require simulations/checkoffs (OMG).

thank you :') thank you friend!!

I passed the NCLEX yall :’)

My biggest tip is to follow the STAR format EXACTLY. I answered a few questions to the best of my ability, including info on how certain experiences will positively affect my future nursing practice, and they asked how certain experiences affected coworkers, how I felt, etc. They are very thorough when asking questions and want every little detail

do y’all think methodist is done making decisions for 2nd interviews? wondering if I should move on or keep emailing/trying to get a response. Also, has willowbrook reached out to anybody?

this could be true!! I didn't think about that. I was referring to the pre-screening, where I picked my top 3 units out of a list. I picked ER, IMCU, and Labor/Delivery!

sooo did anyone not get an invite to TMC? was told by the manager I was interviewing with that she was recommending me for a second interview but I guess that didn’t happen lmaooooo

congrats!! what unit? and do you mind telling me what your application status says?
