I applied in I believe June, if I recall correctly. I was applying lots of places and they're kind of a blur for me, but actually Harris Health was my top choice. I received a call to interview in mid-July and they actually scheduled me the next day for an interview. When I went to interview, there were 3 other applicants in the hallway at the same time I was there, and they were apparently doing interviews all day. I did a panel interview with I believe 5 ladies! It was a little intimidating, but they all seemed approachable. They asked me questions about myself, my background, and why I was interested in ED and then Harris Health particularly. Then they gave me a sample report sheet with (I believe) 6 patients on it. The report sheet had basic demographic info and vitals, and they asked me questions about who would I assess first and second, what would be my order of operations and why, what interventions would I start with, etc. I am not sure if I got all of the questions correct, but I just tried to use my "nurse brain" and say what seemed like the safest and most logical approach. After that, I actually received an offer the same day and accepted it. As for GPA, I am not sure how strict they are exactly, but I think you either have to have above 3.0 or above 3.5 (I'm not sure which but I know there is a minimum). I do know we have to submit our official transcripts. Good luck!

Yes ma'am I did get in and will be starting October 24!

For those of you who accepted positions at Ben Taub, what do you think about that choice now, a year later? I just received an offer and am looking to find out what I can expect.

Looking to reopen this thread to ask the nurses who accepted nurse residency at Ben Taub...how do you like it? How has it been treating you so far, several months into it now? I just received an offer for the ED and am doing my research and looking for candid information on the culture, the training, etc. Also, does the ED do 8 hour shifts?

Hello all, In searching for information about the Nurse Residency Fall 2023 cohort for Ben Taub Hospital / Harris Health in Houston, I have found threads for Summer 2023 cohort, Spring 2023, and others prior. I have not found a thread established yet for the fall 2023 cohort or applicants, and so I decided to start one. I just received an offer for the ED at Ben Taub. I would love to connect with others in my cohort. It is my understanding that LBJ nurses will train with Ben Taub nurses at least initially. Please comment if you are interviewing for or have accepted a position with Harris Health for the fall cohort! Thanks y'all!

Did you get/accept the position? I had an interview for the ER at Ben Taub this past Tuesday, and I received the job offer for the position! I believe that means we will be in the same initial classroom training cohort, even though we would be at different hospitals.
