UTHSC is a great school with consistent top review scores from several publications. Usually the school with top research funding gets good score on these review along with low faculty to student ratio.

I'm not certain about face-face class availability in DFW area but I hear good things about Hurst Review from many graduates from last May.

I was able to talk with a recruiter today for a possible interview. As the above poster have mentioned, the competitiveness of the particular specialty really depends on the amount of openings that Seton needs to fulfill. The recruiter mentioned that less than 10 slots were available for ICU specialty and more available for other acute care settings, usually Med/Surg floor. Does anyone have experience with MD Anderson in Houston? I was awed by the length of new grad orientation of 15 months . Mostly I hear in the range between 10 - 25 weeks. They seem to have something special and great learning experience for new graduates.

The Seton System in Austin seem to offer alot for new graduates. I find that 'non-profit' hospitals have more extensive orientation as compared to 'for-profit' hospitals. I'm going to look into all of your recommendations and I appreciate all your inputs.

Hi. I'll be graduating this December and have been searching for that first nurse position. I would like your input on hospitals in Texas that has good teaching expertise for new graduates. I've no geograhical preference as long as it's in Texas or whether it is civilian or military nursing for that matter. Although my family is located in Austin and I wouldn't mind staying near family and friends, I wouldn't mind trying new locations. If you have any other relevant information regarding any hospitals I would sincerely appreciate your thoughtful replies. Thank you

HI. I'm not in E-line but I'm going to start the accelerated program at TAMUCC this summer. I was wondering what the job market is like in Corpus ( hospitals, pay etc.) I don't think one can't be too soon to start looking at these things that matter so much. Thanks!
