You really didn't give us anything to help you narrow it down with? 1) MSN or DNP programs? 2) Do you want to take the GRE? (there are very few schools that dont require this) 3) Do you want to take ochem or biochem (some schools require one of the ...

I actually received a job offer before I even graduated. Most if not all of my interviews were before or during Finals. I was literally taking a final and then driving to Houston that night so I could interview the next day for a job. (I went to UTHS...

Well I'm just here to offer encouragement! I just quit my job at Ben Taub to start crna school I didn't read the whole thread but here are some thoughts. 1) Most hospitals in the Houston Medical center are looking for BSNs (sorry but thats the truth,...

Yes, you will need to shadow. Most places will ask you about your shadow experience. Why would they accept you into a CRNA program if you haven't even taken the time to see what the profession does. I shadowed a CRNA at my own hospital, does your ho...

Can you even take just one section of the GRE? I retook it and my scores for math/verbal flip flopped but both improved. I just know if you take it again don't do worse.

You will be fine. I had a GPA of 3.14 with my first degree. I think my nursing GPA was 3.8 and I was also in an accelerated program. (I also had to make up grades like you :-p) Can't tell you much about your GRE scores because I took it with the new ...

Honestly CVICU is nice to have. Other factors 1.) Small or big hospital? 2.) GPA science and your nursing school 3.) GRE scores 4.) Just critcal thinking in general that comes with the job Everyone that applies will have ICU experience... It's what y...

I would say so Aero! Trauma at a Level one definitely looks good! Trauma is exhausting though haha

I sent you a PM. Figured i'd tell you my name and where I work not in a public place haha. I wasn't planning on working at all. I actually planned to quit work in April and give myself time off. I actually don't have kids or a family or anything so t...

I'm from the Houston area. I work in the medical center as i'm sure you do also haha. Also interested in meeting our fellow classmates for the next three crazy years man!

I got in, bros we be! haha

I've gotten mine also! Good luck!

The medical center is pretty close in pay for each hospital so guess about 26-28hr

Shesarainbow - I pretty much explained that I was graduating soon and I was looking for a job in the unit because i've always wanted to work here.. Some places were great about it and others not so much. One Manager called me back 4 days later and se...

Harsh facts but 1.) Since there are so many nurses BSN/ADN every semester being pumped out of all the nurses school, the hospitals can afford to be picky :-( 2) GPA does count, refer to point one. This nursing shortage does not affect the med center ...

Hmm, Well I guess I should respond! 1.) Lets see the work environment? a) It's pretty culturally diverse at Ben Taub and LBJ as far as RNs go. b) They are both teaching hospitals so unless its just a ignorant resident most of them listen to what you ...

Hmm, Well I don't work there, but I did interview and got offered a position when I first graduated. As anyone will tell you be yourself. When I interviewed it was with the Recruiter first and then if you passed her it was with the nursing managers o...

^^ My manager said they were still in the interview process.... haha

I did!! It only took them long enough...... I had to turn down Hermann though but oh well ICU is where i wanted to be.. Goodluck to the others still looking!

Congrats on the job :-p I got a nice offer also! I start Monday >.

Congrats on the Job :-p For my interviews I just go in and never rehearse lol.... it seems to go pretty well for me... Some interviews are so random there is no point in preparing...

Well, I guess i can give my 2 cents here also. I graduated in 2010.. 1. I dont think the school was poorly operated... So i dont know that that person is referring to. 2. I agree with the curriculum always changing but apparently its for the better....

I know that the Externs and (students that did clinicals) that worked at Ben Taub already had a first interview M-cabos. I know they are in the process of setting up the 2nd panel interviews.

Done!! Ummm, I dont know her that well haha. You could always stop by the office when working? Thats what I did....

That would totally Irk me also! I was annoyed it took them so long to give me an interview for another position that I started applying to other hospitals..... But I did apply to them before i started looking elsewhere It's a bit sad that I was inter...
