1. UT Southwestern Nurse Residency Summer 2022

   flower808s replied to nursedreams2022's topic in Residency

   The interview from what I remember had standard questions like why you want to be in the OR, how you handled difficult situations, etc. My advice for you all if you decide to join UT: ask questions and show interest! And grow a thick skin—don't take ...

2. Questions about OR fellowship?

   flower808s replied to eah8y4's topic in Operating Room

   I like working with all different members of the surgical team and the level of interaction with the patient and the family. Each day varies, I can have hectic days and I can have slower paced days. What I especially like is the feeling of satisfacti...

3. BSN RN Summer 2023

   flower808s replied to CollegeKid2020's topic in Residency

   Wow! Are you under a contract or something? All you should have to do is submit a 2 week notice. Does not matter if they accept it or not. I hope you have someone to talk to. Burnout is very real.

4. From Oncology to OR

   flower808s replied to Shan's topic in Operating Room

   I would look into what is called RN Fellowship programs first! This is similar to residency programs but fellowships are for those who have experience as an RN. You would get more support this way. Programs like this are usually inpatient hospital ba...

5. ATI Comprehensive predictor

   flower808s replied to Erika ekness's topic in Minnesota

   From what I understand, when other students in my nursing program did not pass that predictor, they took it again and it had similar if not the same questions on it. I would ask your faculty to clarify as they should know. Good luck!

6. Questions about OR fellowship?

   flower808s replied to eah8y4's topic in Operating Room

   You may want to know some basic medications as a circulator so if your patient has medication allergies you know what to avoid. Other than that, you will learn as you go. Good luck!!

7. Travel OR nursing with a physician wife

   flower808s replied to cosmo7009's topic in Operating Room

   I've not heard of nurse and physician couple in the same workplace either, but every other couple has essentially acted as if they were not together at first. Some workplaces make a bigger deal about it than others, so be aware of that. Some people t...

    flower808s replied to nursedreams2022's topic in Residency

    Hi everyone! As an update, I interviewed for the ambulatory clinics yesterday and the OR today. Does anyone happen to know if UTSW offers relocation bonus/reimbursement for residents? I forgot to ask, but so far I think only Medical City does that...
