Hi, I was wondering if anyone is familiar with this hospital? I'm from Houston and have an interview for their GN position with their trauma department. I like to know if anyone is working here and can tell me a little bit about the hospital? Or a...

Have you considered relocating?

They called to schedule an interview but I already accepted another offer and finished all my paperwork, wished they called sooner

Budget? Rent apartment or buy a house? Do you mind commuting? You probably won't be in traffic cause the time you start work anyways. A little bit more info would help.

just wait until you have to do your charting on admission and assessments, my friends working there always complain about it when we get together. And yeah med admin sucks especially when you have to freaking call and verify bunch of meds constantly...

well if it helps you even more, keep in mind Anderson doesn't have computerized charting which really realllyy sucks lol

I applied to the first posting that had the March 31, 2013 deadline. But received no calls. I applied again hoping I get a call.

its the same one, I guess they reopened those applications again

thx, I interviewed last Thursday with a panel of nurses. I'm trying to follow up but not sure who to contact because they don't post contact info to their HR department online -_-. I was told a decision was to be made either last Friday or Monday (...

Its all the same at the end of the day the new test is just increase in certain percentage of topic (1%). But the content are still the same its not like they added in some new nursing content.

I am in the exact same position as you are. Graduate and passed NCLEX and trying to do extra certification to help me land an interview lol. Im from Houston too. I would stay away from online courses cause they aren't accredited by AHA and thats w...

I cleared my inbox

Don't be so worried about the new NCLEX, my friend used Kaplan Q banks and Trainers for her 3rd attemp on NCLEX April 2 and she passed. She said it wasn't any different from the previous NCLEX that she took and Kaplan helped her passed.

I recently applied to the Northwest and Kingwood GN location hopefully I get a reply soon.

the PVT works I took my Nclex on March 28, 2013 and had the same popup and bought the quick result just to make sure and it said I passed.

Stopped at 75 questions I was done with the test in 30 mins.

Don't worry so much about your scores but just read the rationales and learn how to answer the questions. I only studied for a week and only used Kaplan Q banks and Question trainers right before my NCLEX and passed with 75 questions. I didn't go ov...

doesn't seem like that much of a difference in what the test will be besides the passing standard raised a little bit. Just keep studying. Have you tried Kaplan?

1 week exactly, but I would not recommend it. I am probably the biggest procrastinator in the world. Graduate Dec 15. never really scheduled a test date because I never really started studying. Once I did schedule a test date I kept pushing it back ...

How soon can I do the pvt? I did it 30min after my test after I left the testing center and got the good pop up is it good or did I do it too soon?

Yes there are sections from the book that aren't on lecture you have to read. I compare all my notes, from lecture notes that I take in class to the ones from my own reading, I do the same when I am studying. As you re-read the book make sure you u...

I am not sure, but I know 5 people that I talk in school won't be coming back

yeah I know, its harder than when I went to UH for sure, I made mostly A's when taking my pre-req but I have to study a little harder in Nursing school.

What are your current grades so far? Semester 1: Basic Concepts B, Health Assessment B, Patho A, Clinical A Semester 2: Vital Skills (Elective): A, Med Surg 1 B, Pharmacology A, Clinical A Also how many hours do you spend reading and/or studying pe...

Its going great, I remember being in the same shoes as you guys last year. I'm starting semester 3 this spring lol. Man orientation is going to be very boring for you guys haha.
