Hi all, I have seen several posting about Methodist hospitals in the Houston area but I was hoping someone had some info on Methodist in San Antonio. I graduate in two weeks (yeah!) I have interviewed for an internship which I am pretty excited abo...

You are not alone. My fiance is still looking. Like you he graduated in Dec and passed NCLEX in Feb. He is going to an interview in Eagle Pass (about a 2.5 hr drive away) next week. I hate the idea of him being gone 3 days out of the week but at this...

There are several nursing school in San Antonio. SAC as HouTx stated before me is one of the most affordable nursing schools around. While it is a great school keep in mind that not getting your BSN will limit your job opportunities when you graduate...

Hi! I am starting nursing school this fall. I am applying for a work loan program. They have asked me what field I would like to go into on the application. I put NICU, PICU, or pediatric oncology. Truthfully I really do not know much about it, I jus...

Hi! I applied for Sac's spring 08 nursing program. Has anyone who has applied had any trouble getting info from the nursing program? I never received an acceptance OR a rejection letter. I can not get a hold of anyone to talk to. I leave messages and...

I can not think of the name of the place... but there is a doggie day care about 2 miles outside Fort Sam's gate at the little shopping center on the corner of Harry Wurzbach and Rittiman rd. I will be passing by there tomorrow. I will get the name f...

Try UT Arlington's RN-BSN program. I have applied for the fall and from my research and by word of mouth it seems like a great program.

I am a new grad at Christus Santa Rosa downtown. As far as I know Christus isn't a lower paying hospital. I am getting paid 2 1/2 dollars more an hour than my peers who went to Baptist and Methodist. I was always told during school that Christus was ...

Have you tried Santa Rosa? It is a great hospital with great people. It is hard to get in as a new grad but if you are experienced it is a lot easier.

RNPIC-- San Antonio Texas is where I am working

They didn't so much ask me questions as they did a lot of telling me about the unit and what they want out of an employee. They want someone who is going to be a long term employee, willing to work nights, etc... At the peer interview they asked why ...

Have you thought about taking an online review course? Hurst and I believe Kaplan offer them. You can study at your own pace at home. If you can study on your own and feel confident with that they go with your instinct. I am not that disciplined. I'm...

I was offered a job at Santa Rosa. It was my 1st choice so I am pretty happy. Good luck on your interviews!

ONENMILGIRL- Could you repost that safety and infection control acronym you told us about? Thanks! I take NCLEX on the 27th... so nervous!

Sorry to hear that. I heard Methodist had 109 applicants for NICU for 2 or 3 positions. I had an "in" and was able to get an interview but it didn't get me the job. It is crazy... Santa Rosa stopped taking apps after they got 1200 apps for only about...

Congratulations! I just got offered a level III NICU job too! I am also interested in finding out what reference books to read so I hope you don't mind me hitch hiking on your post. Good luck on your new career!

Hi! Just checking in to see how the job search is going...

I just graduated from nursing school and used this site over and over again. Whenever I had a guestion... Daytonight always popped up... Thanks for the help Daytonight! Your memory and knowledge will live on for a long long time! :redbeathe

I really prefer the danskos. They are the only shoe I can work a 12 hour shift in without my feet hurting.

I recommend getting an externship in an area that you would like to work. That way you will get paid, gain experience, and have a foot in the door when you graduate. It is getting harder for us new grads to find jobs so having your foot in the door w...

Did you also apply for the special care nursery? It is the step down unit for the NICU. I was told today that they will be schelduing interviews for next week and the week after. I have heard awesome things about the versant program. Fingers crossed!...

I was told the internship starts the second or third week in June.

I have not heard anything yet. My friend got a call yesterday from them confirming what position she was applying for ( she checked all of them.) She was told that she would forward her app to those units? My quess is that the unit managers are j...

I got an interview early because I have a friend on the "inside." The interview was pretty intense. I have never had an interview last over an hour before and I still have to do a peer interview. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

The school I go to counts them seperate. If you pass clinical and fail theory then you only make up theory. We have to have a 76 to be considered passing though. Most schools in our area only have to have a 70. I guess it just depends on your school.
