Hi everyone. I am hoping to get some advice on a situation that occurred last night. My assignment is on a vent and getting Q6 albuterol and pulmazine treatments. I received a prn fentanyl order for agitation. The baby showed no signs of agitation ex...

I did mention that in report, and the oncoming nurse felt the same way I did. I guess I just wanted some reassurance that my train of thought wasn't wrong. Don't get me wrong, I wanted it to work, but after seeing that it didn't... I feel like I let ...

Hi Everyone! My husband is being relocated to Lackland AFB in Sep and I would like to get a jump start on getting info on LVN-RN bridge programs out in San Antonio. I was wondering if Hallmark college is a for-school and if they have a bridge program...

Hello! Any San Antonio Bridge hopefuls around? The program starts 10/03 and I was hoping we could get a group started!

I am doing a 16 week new grad residency program in the NICU. I think maybe hospitals should make all new grads do a residency program no matter what floor they get hired on. Sent from my iPhone using allnurses

Hello all! I've been offered two positions, one is a new grad residency for the ICU and the other is on a tele unit. My dream is to be an ICU nurse and right out of school I have that opportunity. The only thing is... For about 4 months the pay is on...

TurtlesRcool- I didn't think of it that way. Thank you all so very much with helping me with this decision. All of my classmates are telling me to just do the tele job since there is no pay reduction during the training. ICU is where my heart is at, ...

I'm not too sure why either. I will get a higher base pay once the 4 months are done with so I guess I'll suck it up and deal. I really do not understand the whole lack of benefits thing, I'll probably ask the recruiter when I give them my answer. Th...

Nope, just me and my lonesome! I think you are right, I'm just going to jump in! Sent from my iPhone using allnurses

Thank you all for the advice. I misread the the benefits package for the ICU, it starts after the Residency ends. I think I am going to stay with the ICU residency, spoke with the director about the success rate of the new grads on the floor and he s...

Did you get your e-offer yet? Sent from my iPhone using allnurses

Thank you HouTx! Yes, it is a mandatory 4 month residency. You are right about transitioning to ICU later on, I have read on here some of the hoops people have to go through in order to cross train. I think my answer is obvious, but I'm just nervous ...

Woot woot!! Congratulations! Did you accept?

They just called! Did they call you yet? Sent from my iPhone using allnurses

I will keep you updated. I'm not too sure about receiving an e-mail though. He said to look out for a phone call. I'm sure it won't be until Friday though,I believe that is what they said.. To expect phone calls at the end of the week. I'm still on c...

Hello everybody! Today is the first day fto apply to the Versant program at Christus Santa Rosa!! I applied but I am lost at what to do afterwards. It says that you will still need to apply for the San Antonio position, the thing is i can not find a ...

I would look for places in med center. What is your price range? My apartment is 645/month.. 1b/1b it's about 5 minutes from main Methodist... Oh wait.. You are working downtown, right? I'm not very knowledgeable with the area downtown, I just know t...

Sorry, we applied for Methodist San Antonio. They are not affiliated with Methodist in Houston. I did see a few posts talking about the pay scale for Methodist Houston though. Sent from my iPhone using allnurses

I know! I'm an (was) LVN in home health, but now an RN in home health and both pay a lot more. I'll probably pick up a shift once a week to have some extra play money, once the residency is done in November. Did you interview for the Main Methodist ...

Me too! I was a little bummed on the pay (I read about it on previous posts), but it's my dream job so I'll get over it. Sent from my iPhone using allnurses

I'm actually originally from California as well! I've been living here for the past 18 months though. I understand your hesitation! I keep looking at my phone and making sure that the ringer is on! Were you down here on Friday for the meet and greet?...

Hi! Thank you and Congratulations to you as well! The position I was offered is for CICU at Main Methodist. The director called and offered it to me and said that I should be hearing something from HR today or sometime this week. Are you taking the ...

Good luck with those interviews! I went to Methodists Meet&Greet on Friday and landed my dream job on one of the ICU floors there. I've heard that Christus and Methodist both have really good internships. I was hoping that Christus would've calle...

Congratulations!!! I haven't heard anything back yet :-( I applied for the ICU and ER though. Good luck with your interview!

Has anyone heard anything yet? In previous posts it said that they called HR/Nurse recruiter and bothered them, but are we to wait until the meet and greet?
