It may actually be a bad idea to start in adult med/surg because then you will be competing against nurses with peds experience for a pedi position. I went into peds right after graduation and it was definetly the best decision. :-)

Hello everyone! I just accepted a position at Scott and White on the pedi floor! I am so excited!!! I'll be moving from Austin and I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any nice places to live? Some places to avoid? I'm thinking I'll move to Round Ro...

Thank you! I will be living in Round Rock and commuting to Temple (Scott and White). I will have a 12 week orientation with a preceptor! I couldn't be more excited!!!

I graduate next month and start my peds job June 8th! I'm so excited! I can't wait to get started. I would also love any advice or words of wisdom!

I'm graduating next month and start my pedi job June 8th!!! I'm so excited! I got a part time job in pedi after I felt as though I had school under control. Maybe you could be a tech at the local children's hospital, or doctor's office? As far as cla...

Try Scott and White in Temple or Round Rock. I just got a GN position there in pedi and my friend has 3 interviews there next week!

I just accepted a peds job as well and couldn't be more excited!!! I would also love some tips for peds and a good report sheet! I will def be purchasing peds made easy now!

As far as I know Dell Children's is not affiliated with any Univ. Students from all over central Texas do clinicals there though. I graduate in May and I applied there and I've been told they are not hiring new grads. Scott and White in Temple also h...

Hello! I graduate in May with my RN and I really want to get a head start on my job search. Does anyone know how early you can apply online for an RN position with Seton? :)

First of all...CONGRATS!!! I just finished level 3 and about to start level 4, I heard tons of students had a lot of trouble passing? I'm just wondering if you have any tips for next semester? I'm taking the HURST review in Jan and I'm hoping that w...

I'm onsite and we wont know who our instructors are until next week. Should I be reading the book or only the syllabus notes? I did the Hurst review and I'm hoping it helps at least a little bit! Thank you so much for responding! Where are you workin...

I transferred programs and it can be frustrating, but hang in there! Getting into nursing school is a long and sometimes annoting process but once your in it's worth it. You CAN do it! Although the road may seem long, just think of the outcome! Also ...

Haha..you can have your NICU and nursery!! I want med/surg peds at Dell Children's!

Where did you graduate from? I graduate in May and your situation is what I'm afraid of. I also wouldn't be happy on an adult med/surg floor. But anyway, I just finished my pedi clinical on a med/surg floor at Dell Children's and LOVED it!! That hosp...

I'll be 24 when I graduate and I believe I will be just as competent as anyone older then me. I've worked very hard to get where I am and just because your in your 20's doens't mean you party. It's been nice to not have the distractions older people ...

I will graduate in may and I have spoken with the hiring coordinater at seton for new grads. I am also interested in L&D and she let me know those jobs are hard to get for new grads . She said most interested in that field work in med/surg and ev...

I have the exact same problem. I m still looking. After MONTHS of applying online and getting no response I have been told to find someone who works at the hospital you are looking to work at and have them help you. It is so frustrating because there...

Has anyone gone to or is going to ACC? I'm thinking of transfering there and would just like some opinions. Does ACC have a high NCLEX pass rate and hire rate? Thanks!

I was wondering if anyone has transfered nursing schools? I need to transfer from San Jacinto (Houston) to ACC (Austin) and I was just wondering if it is difficult? Also if anyone goes to Austin Community College I would love to know if you like it/w...
