MCA has never had a good rep, they struggle with management everyone hates their life there. Their women's services is whole diff world tho, haha.

Where are you working? What floor and hospital? It honestly varies. Usually will start with class/orientation in Frisco. Then you will transition to preceptorship and will usually do about 6 weeks with a preceptor. There are a lot of factors to consider, medsurg usually is less. ICU, peds, women's services is longer.

Avoid Arlington at all costs. Unless you're planning to work in their women services look the other way. I was actually a nurse extern in Fort Worth. ICU floors are amazing all time fav was MICU and Neuro ICU. Cardiac can be very clicky at first, but they will warm up to you!

Did you ever go back interview with NICU?

Does anyone here happen to know when the retention period begins? Is after training (10-16 weeks, depending on unit) or is it after the year of residency?

No, but if you don't mind me asking, what floor will you be an extern on?

Got the same exact emails! Oh well, wasn't meant to be for me either. Have you applied to other hospitals?

@picklegirl no. I'm starting to think we got ghosted ?

Hi!! Definitely look at behavioral questions, YouTube helped me a lot. Know why you want to work here especially in CICU. Find stories to tell!

No luck on my end, anyone else?

@picklegirl I emailed Friday morning and no response

@picklegirl were you able to hear back from CICU?

Does anyone know this answer? ?
