where in california do you live? maybe i can tell you some hospitals that you may be able to apply to?

TO:BettyBoop004 I was in your position a month ago BettyBoop004. I am originally from California and graduated june of 2009. My fiance is in the air force and he got stationed in texas. It took me about 2-3 months until i finally got a call back from Methodist hospital. The only reason why i got a call back was because i kept on calling them to see where i was at in the application process after i turned in my application. I finally got a hold of a nurse recruiter who would give me a chance. It is true you should not be picky. I took whatever job they gave me or that was available because once you get your foot in the door and work there for about a year or two then it will be much easier for you to get a job in the future some where else. Don't give up and just stay positive. Too bad your husband and my fiance couldnt switch orders so i could stay in california and not pay another $250 or so just to get a texas license lol. Good luck :).

I was wondering what is the average salary for a new graduate in texas and what questions would they ask in an interview for ortho department? thanks

Thank you for your help. I just sent my application online and i am still waiting on the finger print card. Do you know by any chance any hospitals in san antonio that are accepting new graduate nurses?

I am a new graduate nurse in california, but i am trying to get a license in texas. I am a little bit confused on what i need to do. I looked at the texas website and it talks about compact states and having to take another text called nursing jurisprudence. Do i have to take that test and if i do get a license in texas do i have to give up my california license? please help thank you.
