  1. Tele/Vascular=Critical Care?

    Mrs.Rollins replied to Murse7's topic in MICU, SICU

    From what I've seen so far, any experience in a given area before you're a nurse will serve you well in the long run. Of course it's different when you're on the other side of things, but being a PCT...

  2. Need advice on new job in ICU, not going well

    Mrs.Rollins replied to Treefroggirl's topic in MICU, SICU

    I had a very similar experience when I started in ICU (but as a grad nurse). My preceptor wasn't as terrible as yours sounds, but she did lay far too much on me. In the end, as hard as it was,...

  7. Nursing Shortage

    Mrs.Rollins replied to ruthere04976's topic in General Nursing

    Be aware, though, that the Houston market is hellacious after Hurrican Ike. There are little-to-no grad jobs in this area of the gulf coast since UTMB's closing. At least half of my graduating class...

  8. ADNs having problems getting jobs?

    Mrs.Rollins replied to Future TX RN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I had no problem landing a job; as a matter of fact, I had multiple offers (I graduated from Galveston College). However, half of our graduating class still have not found employment. One was only...

  9. Critical Care Internships for new grads?

    Mrs.Rollins replied to mestizorx's topic in Texas Nursing

    I graduated in May and am currently in an ICU/CVICU internship in Pasadena, just outside of Houston. The internships in TMC are cut-throat! They're extremely competitive. I'm very, very happy with...
