My reliable source says that it is every other weekend and then the days (or nights) you are assigned to work. And this is supposed to stay the same for two years. You can apparently trade shifts if...

I'm sorry, sweetie. Please don't give up hope. I was hesitant to post about it, but that is why we are all on this board -- trying to figure things out. It's still early

Good morning, y'all. I received a call and email shortly after 8 a.m. with a job offer for the ER. I accepted. The call shows up as "unknown". I hope to hear more of the same from you all! I...

Agreed! As I understood it, offers were not to be extended until next week. I personally know of one exception -- a friend who has been an employee in the ER for a long time. Clearly there were...

I think it's $3.50 nights and $6.00 weekends. So $9.50 for weekend nights. Parkland is great, IMHO. You have to be very compassionate and pretty thick-skinned to thrive there. If you went into...

FYI, I have a friend who had a screening interview for transplant last week, one who has one tomorrow for tele, and another who interviews for NICU next week. Anything new with y'all? Hope it is...

Congratulations, Mannan! Gosh, I don't know, y'all. Perhaps they only contacted a few of the strongest applicants on Friday. I would not worry until after the 28th. Not everyone who is extended...

I interviewed today, and I have nothing but good things to say. The nurse educator, manager, and former resident made me feel very comfortable; they were warm and friendly. The interview was...

Hi Heather, I would take a day to study grammar and vocab to be safe. Grammar was toughest for me, but I still scored a 90. Others did well without much effort. Either way, these sections are...

Oh, I never answered about my stats. My science GPA was a 3.6. My prerequisite GPA was a 3.5. My overall was barely a 3.0, but I don't think they used that one (thankfully). HESI cumulative was...

So I got all of my shots at Dallas County Health Services. $70 for them all, and I had virtually no wait. More expedient and wayyyy cheaper than going to the doc. On the other hand, I don't feel...

Phew! That helps a lot! I'm so late with it all that I doubt I can secure a loan in time. A payment plan is a huge help, though! Thanks again for all the 411! I owe you big
Greenie1 replied to kazuo1513's topic in Texas Nursing
Awesome! You seem to have it together! Right, I'm freaking about the $$$ too! How much do we owe by Sept 13??? Do you have a schedule of classes -- like which classes we take, the order and start...

Hey Kazuo! I'm in, too! Yay! I was initially on the wait list. I'm so excited! BUT, I'm behind!!! Do clinicals start Sept. 20, too? Do you have all of your immunizations? I haven't finished...
