  1. Memorial Hermann GN Internship

    gibson0726 replied to CPhT2RNstudent's topic in Texas Nursing

    Congratulations! That sounds like a really amazing opportunity. I just got offered a NICU internship position, and I accepted it! I know how incredibly lucky I am to be starting off in my 1st choice...

  2. Can ADN nurses land jobs in the NICU?

    gibson0726 replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Yes, we can. I just got a job offer yesterday at a Magnet facility. I will be graduating with an ADN in December. I also have a BS, I wonder if that helped. The recommendation to work in the NICU as a...

  3. Has anyone picked a specialty before nursing school and actually done it after?

    gibson0726 replied to nohika's topic in General Nursing

    I had wanted to be a NICU nurse before I had even decided to go to nursing school. When I told my mom what I wanted to do she told me, "you know you are going to see so many babies die. You are too...

    gibson0726 replied to lweatherby's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thanks for the good advice. I actually got a call today and scheduled a phone interview for Tuesday. Unfortunately, my school/clinical/work schedule is so booked that I had to turn down going to an...

  5. Does anyone here like nursing school?

    gibson0726 replied to knittingmonster's topic in General Students

    I loved it up until this semester, which is my last. I am just OVER IT. I'm still learning a lot and feel more and more confident during every clinical, but I am ready to be done. I think I'm just...

  6. Has anyone applied for January Residency programs at Baylor Health Care System??

    gibson0726 replied to lweatherby's topic in Texas Nursing

    I applied for the NICU and PACU on September 4th and I haven't been called for an interview. I got the confirmation emails and an email requesting more information regarding why I wanted to work in...

  7. Memorial Hermann GN Internship

    gibson0726 replied to CPhT2RNstudent's topic in Texas Nursing

  10. Austin Hospitals for new grads

    gibson0726 replied to Leah236's topic in Texas Nursing

    Seton has a very competitive new grad residency called Versant. Check their website frequently. I believe the June 2010 cohort application will be released right after Christmas. Apply early, but know...

  11. Want to move to Texas, but worried about GroupOne!

    gibson0726 replied to MissBrittanyRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I've been contemplating applying for the GN Residency at Good Shepherd. I live in Austin, and I was hesitant to relocate that far. Can you please give me some insight to what the city life is like in...

  12. Memorial Hermann GN Internship

    gibson0726 replied to CPhT2RNstudent's topic in Texas Nursing

    Oh my goodness, I am so glad you posted this! I hadn't received a confirmation email either, so I sent them an email earlier this week, and I have yet to hear back. This makes me feel better, I guess....

  13. have anyone heard back from St. David's new grads program?

    gibson0726 replied to yuchihchih's topic in Texas Nursing

    Seton is looking for at least a 3.0. It seemed to me, after hearing 2 recruiters talk within a few days of each other, that they want to see all 3 of your choices be Med-Surg on the application. I...

  14. Houston GN internship?

    gibson0726 replied to Dramaangel621's topic in Texas Nursing

    Has anyone been contacted yet from Memorial Hermann for an interview? I know their website said interviews were going to be held from September 22-October 9. I guess it's not looking good for me since...

  15. What's the job market like in Texas?

    gibson0726 replied to TeleNurse2010's topic in Texas Nursing

    It is not looking very good in Austin at all. I am graduating in December and plan on relocating. The 2 main hospital networks here are St.David's and Seton. St.David's just sent out an email stating...

  16. shaky hands

    gibson0726 replied to JamDD's topic in Nursing Career

    DO NOT GIVE UP!! No way, no how. You didn't say how far along you are in the program, but I promise, the confidence and comfort level will increase with each passing semester. It is very normal to get...

  17. Nursing school stress

    gibson0726 replied to b_howard's topic in General Students

    I think it does get slightly better. 2nd semester was definitely my hardest, with a ridiculous amount of clinical paperwork. I was also working ~20 hours per week. I definitely know where you are...

  18. Houston GN internship?

    gibson0726 replied to Dramaangel621's topic in Texas Nursing

    The deadline was on September 11. They posted around the 1st, so it wasn't up for very long at all. Sorry you missed it. I have a list of bookmarks that I check on a daily basis, from all over the...

  19. Houston GN internship?

    gibson0726 replied to Dramaangel621's topic in Texas Nursing

    I've really been contemplating lately about having a "back up" specialty or area that I should apply for, until I get the experience necessary to transfer to the NICU. Your situation is exactly what I...

  20. Houston GN internship?

    gibson0726 replied to Dramaangel621's topic in Texas Nursing

    I can't find anything either, other than Hermann. I want to work in the NICU (only!), and I'm afraid with the job market being as it is, that I'm going to have to work in adult Med/Surg. One of the 2...

  21. have anyone heard back from St. David's new grads program?

    gibson0726 replied to yuchihchih's topic in Texas Nursing

    Unfortunately, I received a mass email from St.David's about the Winter 2009 GN job posting. It looks like they are not looking to hire any new grads at this time. I wonder why they even posted the...

  22. Does it matter if I have an AA, BS, etc to get accepted into CRNA schools?

    gibson0726 replied to autumn_sky's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    These 2 schools in Texas don't require a BSN: http://web3.txwes.edu/nurseanesthesia/admission.htm

  23. When to start applying

    gibson0726 replied to rach78's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would definitely start applying now. I graduate in December and have already applied for 4 jobs. Those GN internships fill up fast, might as well be one of the first to apply. Good

  24. Any NICUs hiring..anywhere??

    gibson0726 replied to NurseDevonL's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I just applied today for the NICU new grad internship, starting January 2010! Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. They just released the application today, so I hope that getting it in...

  25. have anyone heard back from St. David's new grads program?

    gibson0726 replied to yuchihchih's topic in Texas Nursing

    I think it depends. Did you contact them to stay on their list? If so, I wouldn't do anything. It seems like they are keeping all the old applications on file. Unfortunately, that means the...
