  1. New Grads/RNs without any work for almost a year now

    SA is better I think but you will still have to work hard to get a job if your a new grad. They hire more around May and December so it is all about timing for new grads! If you have 1 years experience you can find a job almost anywhere. Good luck!
  2. New Grads/RNs without any work for almost a year now

    I have looked all over Texas I will post about my experience and advice to others once I gain a postion. I have learned a lot over the search process and will definitely pass on what I have learned so others can avoid the mistakes I made and have an ...
  3. New Grads/RNs without any work for almost a year now

    Yep unemployed but 1 more interview next week but not holding my breath. 60 applicants for 1 new grad position. But eventually we will both get lucky so dont give up is my advice!
  4. New Grads/RNs without any work for almost a year now

    Keep on looking is my only advice! I am at 6 months now with only 3 interviews after applying everywhere. With BSN, ACLS, PALS, and great resume. Times are tough and not getting any better sadly even for nursing!
  5. No jobs...Seriously reconsider nursing school

    I agree with Cleo comments if you cant handle the truth then dont read it! But I do beleive a real nursing shortage will exist in ten years when the old baby boomer nurses hang up the scrubs! That is why the schools are cranking out students now unfo...

  8. New grad relocating to Houston ... is it THAT bad out there?

    My advise dont stop in Houston unless you are an experienced nurse or already have a guaranteed job. Go to San Antonio or El Paso. Google hospital webistes at those cities and apply they are hiring currently but Houston, Dallas and Austin areas jobs ...
  9. LVNs check out UTMB website careers they positions all over Texas.
  10. ADN/Magnet Hospitals/Ability to Find Work in the Metroplex

    not good for any new grads!
  11. To be or not to be a nurse...

    If you have the desire to do something do it and dont look back! If you are looking for the easiest or highest paying profession dont do nursing! If you sincerely felt the need to help people even when it goes unappreciated most of the time and dont ...
  12. I need some advice.

    You can still get into nursing. UTMB places a lot of emphasis on the whole person concept not just GPA's. Write a really good essay when you apply and address the deficiencies you had earlier and how you have overcome them since. I recommend going to...
  13. Houston LVN Grad looking for work

    Check out UTMB galveston website for careers they hire LVNs all over Texas.

  16. Not a drug user but tested positive for cocaine

    My advice if you knew they were a drug abuser you should have avoided them and thus avoided the problem you have now. Druggies only care about drugs and until you learn that you will be putting yourself in danger of even worse situations than failing...
  17. Oklahoma nursing job market on the news

    Same propaganda all over the USA! The economy is hitting healthcare too. Now the school are cranking out twice as many students as needed. Jobs are hard to find no matter what field or education level you are. It is hit or miss witha lot of luck and ...
  18. $20k+ for LVN school....is it worth it?

    This site has had 10 or 20 people ask this same question in last year. I recommend you use search function top right and read all the previous discussions. They might help. But I agree with above post go to a community college and check out that poss...
  19. UT- Application Process

    Psych 2317 will meet a statistics requirement not a math requirement. I know that is confusing but that is the way it is. It isnt considered a math class by admissions it is a statistics course for research procedures. You must take a college level m...
  20. UT- Application Process

    You must be TSI complete to recieve a degree as per the state of Texas. So yes if you have not met the requirement through testing or a class then yes it will be a huge roadblock. I suggest you buy a book on basic math and see if you can study on you...
  21. It is a no brainer answer. If hospitals make less money so will everyone else. Why would hospitals make less money. Because he is reducing payout on medicare and medicaid to fund all the new healthcare benefits/ programs. Just my opinion but it seems...
  22. UTMB Summer '09 Applicants

    Wow! everyone is so concerned with me. I feel so special. I am happy some graduates are so friendly and joyful. Many apply to multiple schools because they want to go where it feels right for them! Not just to a school that will take them. If only pe...
  23. UTMB Summer '09 Applicants

    thanks DM, I decided to go to local college in fall. It isnt so rushed and is probably allot easier and student friendly in my opinion. I dont like being rushed when I applied almost a year ago. It is a bad sign of what lies ahead in my opinion. I wi...

    Thats it I am tired of waiting, they really need to get their act together. I have had it with this slow unprofessional school. You would think by 1 apr on this glorious day that everyone would know what the deal is! Only 32 days till classes start J...
