they do require a clinical capstone

I am thinking about school nursing and was wondering if you would consider it 'stressful' on a daily basis ( besides medical emergencies)? I have 12 years varied experience and the last two jobs have been very stressful ( doctors rushing to get pt to...

Hi, Any Fall 2015 CUNY Hunter NP students out there? I was just accepted to the Adult NP program and wanted to connect with other students. thanks!

Hi, One thing that might help ( i use with pollen, allergy season) is a nasal rinse, like a neti pot/Neilmed sinus rinse. It flushes out your passages. good luck!

i had no research experience and just kept applying until I was offered a job. I agree that most jobs say that experience is required but don't let that keep you from applying. are you near a major cancer center? (memorial sloan kettering, MD anderso...

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, I assume no potty accidents :)

i would say just apply and write a really good cover letter.... ya never know!

So i had a first interview for this position and did some research on here. Anyone currently working for humana? How is it going? What is the case load like? I have never worked from home so i'm not sure how i will feel about 8 hours in front of a c...

Thank you for sharing! Seems like a different kind of stress... good food for thought :)

I am thinking about school nursing but had a question about finding a job after school nursing. Do you have any problems changing specialties after? If I work as a school nurse for a while then decide to go back to beside, will I have a hard time get...

I am a RN (BSN) with 11 years of experience in med/surg and most recently ambulatory surgery. I am looking for a specialty change and have always been interested in research/clinical trials. In the past, whenever I saw RN research positions they alwa...

Hello, I am looking into getting my MSN in education and my manager recommended Aspen University. My concern is getting a job afterward and having a hard time since my degree is online from Aspen. Is this a concern? Or is it worth it to pay more and ...

any updates on Aspen University? Looking into the MSN education track....

Hi, So TMC has many hospitals including Memorial Hermann, Houston Methodist, CHI St. Luke's, MD Anderson, Texas Children's, VA, Ben Taub, and Women's hospital of texas. Most of those hospitals have satellite sites in the surrounding suburbs. Most hav...

I know for sure Memorial Hermann and Houston Methodist require a monthly contribution to medical / dental insurance. Maybe MD anderson or the public Harris county system pays 100%, not sure

I will look into research positions in the next few months. Thank you for responding!

Yes, you will not make as much as you did in NYC. I took a $5/hr pay cut (worked in NYC) but remember there is no state or city tax in Houston so that softens the blow. How long have you been a nurse?

Hi, what is the tuition reimbursement like at MD Anderson? I know at Memorial Hermann it is $5k a year and $4K at Houston Methodist....

Where are you relocating from? Are all of the positions in the Med Center? Where you live and the commute may be a factor to consider. I have heard mixed things about HCA facilities in other cities.

The two big systems in Austin are Seton and St. David's. Seton has a nurse residency program for new grads you could look into. There is also Baylor Scott and White which is smaller. good luck!

the big trauma ER (level 1) is in downtown Austin (University Medical Center Brackenridge) and is part of the Seton network. the other big ERs in Austin are North Austin Medical Center (part of St. David's) and St. David's Main has a location in d...

I'm not sure how it works on the app but on the desktop website you can click on a users name and it should say "send PM". Yes, I was offered a position at MH Southwest :)

Congrats on the job offer! Did you go to the Memorial Hermann recruiting event this week in NYC? I also received a job offer. Are you able to send PM (private messages?)

I, too, am moving to the Houston area next year and this is what I've learned so far: The two biggest systems in the Houston area that have the highest employee satisfaction are Memorial Hermann and Houston Methodist. There are other systems out ther...

Hi, Is MD Anderson hiring nurses? I've been looking at their website for the past few months and there are only two positions posted. Is there a hiring freeze?
