Moraine Valley Community College, located in Palos Hills, IL

HI there willIeverbeanurse, I graduated from MVCC, it is possible to get in. Have you completed your prerequisites? And if you did well in the classes there should be no problem getting in. When I applied to the nursing program I heard it was 200 that applied and only 50 got selected. I say keep on trying. Finish all the prereques. And you are right top grades will be enough! Good luck croat

I have a question! What can you do if you applied to every internship program (Memorial herman, Ben taub/LJB, St Lukes and Methodist) and dont get hired? I have graduated Dec of 07, yes 07 and moved in March to Houston from Chicago and was too late to get into the summer internship. Then applied in November and still did not get in any, not even called for an interview. Such a waste of time and loads of frustration. If anyone has any advice please help!

Hi labcat01 Yeah we are in the same boat and we will get thru this. I feel frustrated sometimes, but I'm trying to focus on the solution rather than the problem. I saw on Harris County Hospital District website that there are some position as nurse interns and I applied yesterday. Last week there was a job fair at VA and they said that they would call in 2 weeks. I also saw on HCA website there is a link for New Grads: http://www.hcacareers.com/nursing.html If you click on the link above, scroll down to the bottom and click on the NURSING COLLEGE CAREER EVENTS and you will see that there is a career fair on May 13th at Houston Grand Plaza Hotel. Im keeping my fingers crossed. Hope this helps! One hospital called and told me that they know of a hospital that still had a GN position open, in which the application was due March something and the position started January. Last week they told me they would call me sometime this coming week if I qualified for that position. Anyhow i thought i heard wrong that they said it started January (it was a voicemail) so i listened to the voicemail again and yup she said it started in January. So do you have to apply for a new grad position while in the last semester of nursing is my question? Im so confused. all the best croat

Sorry i left it out. Im located in Houston Texas. thanks t

I just recently moved from IL and am surprised how hard it is to get a job over here. I graduated in December, passed the boards in March and moved to Texas in April. Til now i have no job yet. In IL I had 2 jobs lined up and I declined, since we decided to move to Texas. There are NO GN positions in IL, only RN positions and they give you a 8-12 weeks orientation. So please if someone could tell me how it works. I arrived April 15th and in most hospitals, the application for a GN were due end of March. And nothing is posted to when the hospitals would have another opportunity to apply for a GN position. Are there any place where I could get a job? I applied at many places with no such luck Thanks T
