  1. Not many Black/African American nurses working in the ICU's

    Yes it matters.
  2. Not many Black/African American nurses working in the ICU's

    You are right! I was the only "person of color' in the CVICU internship program. It was an expectation of CCRN, moving up the clinical ladder, and become an advanced practice nurse. The color of my skin was not a factor at all. Knowledge of the cardi...
  3. Not many Black/African American nurses working in the ICU's

    Hello, I have worked in the 3 different CVICU's in the past 8 years and there is always less than 5 AA nurses in the unit. Why?
  4. ICU visiting hours.. What is reasonable?

    I think visitation should be in scheduled blocked times, for example 10-noon, 1400-1600, 2030-2230, 0400-0530. Or something similar. The patients are in the ICU for a reason. I know the family wants to be at the patients' bedside but, they need to re...
  5. Diversity in the ICU

    You can forget about Parkland Trauma ICU, no diversity at all. I do not understand how that is. Look at the location and the population of patients that come through that hospital. I don't know about Baylor, but my friend told me her horror story ab...
  6. Diversity in the ICU

    I would really like to work in the Northeast. I enjoy being a ICU nurse and I prefer to work with a good staff mix: Male, female, new grad to 10+ experience, and nurses from different backgrounds.
  7. Employment after having report on group one

    Call group one and get a copy of your report.
  8. East Texas

    No flexibility with scheduling at the Tyler hospital. Everyone works the Matrix and the removed the fourth day so you might work tues, fri, sat, sun, wed, thurs or mon, fri,sat, sun, wed, thurs for the rest of your career in East Texas.
  9. Diversity in the ICU

    I have worked in the ICU for 7 years and 4 years on Medical/Surgical/Telemetry floor. I thought I would see more diversity in the ICU's by now. I found this very disappointing in some of the major cities in Texas due to the large amount of nurses fro...
  10. Memorial Hermann is planning on unpaid GN intersnship

    RUN, RUN, RUN!!!!!! Memorial Hermann is not a good company to work for. The best of the best (from hell!). I worked there for 3 years and it was not worth it. They should offer top pay since most of their Neuro-ICU nurses left at the same time. RUN!!...
  11. How do I get accepted into Texas CRNA school?

    Your degree in biology should help, take the GRE, you need >500 on verbal for UT houston and an overall score >1000 for all the schools in TX. Try to work in a CVICU or Trauma ICU (level 1 preferrably)
  12. Memorial Hermann TMC Location

    Apply to another facility in the Medical Center. I worked at Memorial Hermann TMC for 2 years and they do not value their nurses. Ask the nurses on the unit how long they've been a nurse and how long they've worked at Memorial. I worked on a unit wit...
  13. TX ---Male Pre-Nursing Students

    Good luck to all of you, I enjoy working with male nurses. No drama!!!!!
  14. Any black male nurses out there?

    I work in the famous Texas Medical Center in a CVICU and as far as black nurses there's less than 5 on days and nights total. Prarie View has a nursing school in the medical center and I know at least 40 nurses graduate in the spring and fall, but I ...

    UT at Permian Basin offers MATH 6301 in the summer.
