  1. Cypress Fairbanks RN Residency Program

    Liss RN replied to Liss RN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Ahhh thanks for replying. Do you want to work in the NICU? I applied for the ED. When I talked to them 2 weeks ago they said they already had about 75 applicants. Scary! Good luck, I hope we get...

  2. New RN, New to Houston, and No Job

    Liss RN replied to Liss RN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Miss Kisha, Thank you for being so kind to share that! I heard that Cypress Fairbanks is going to be starting interviews for the program around the first week of November. Good luck to

  3. New RN, New to Houston, and No Job

    Liss RN replied to Liss RN's topic in Texas Nursing

    ainusca, the job search here is awful isn't it!? It's very hard to get into these internship programs. I'm glad you at least got 2 interviews though! I hope this one goes well for you :) This time are...

  4. New RN, New to Houston, and No Job

    Liss RN replied to Liss RN's topic in Texas Nursing

    NeoNurseTX, thanks so much for the suggestion. I had no idea they had an internship. I looked it up and they just added some RN Intern positions about a week ago so I applied today. Hoping for the...

  5. New Grad! New Job!

    Liss RN replied to NightNurse876's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Congrats and good luck with your new job!! I am a new grad as well, I have had my license for a month. 100 apps and no interview yet. Seems like HR just might take forever? Thanks for giving me some...

  6. New Grad RN CAN'T FIND WORK!! What should I do?

    Liss RN replied to Aubrey88RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Ugh, I am in the same situation, so I am feeling your frustration. I too graduated in May and passed boards in September. I've applied to 70+ jobs. No interviews so far. I'm considering getting a job...

    Liss RN replied to Ms.RN's topic in Texas Nursing

    I just received a call from a recruiter at the med. center location about the internship- they said I was on their interest list to interview. Unfortunately, the med. center location only wants BSN's...

  8. New RN, New to Houston, and No Job

    Liss RN replied to Liss RN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thanks NeoNurseTX. I've applied to a few nursing internships so far. It seems like I won't have much luck with the hospitals in the Med Center because they are very competitive, and apparently I am an...

  9. New RN in TX, can't get an interview

    Liss RN posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Hi everyone, I moved to Houston from Pennsylvania after I graduated nursing school at PSU a few months ago. I passed my boards almost a month ago (licensed in TX) and have applied to probably 70...

  10. New RN in TX, can't get an interview

    Liss RN replied to Liss RN's topic in Nursing Career

    Thank you HouTx for your response! Now I understand why it's so hard to get into the New Grad programs as an "outsider". I've applied to some smaller hospitals in West and NW areas..so I'm hoping for...

  12. New RN, New to Houston, and No Job

    Liss RN replied to Liss RN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thanks Trubie for your response. I was thinking about applying to some places North of Houston, but I was worried about the commute from where I live in West Houston. The job outlook right now just...

  15. New RN, New to Houston, and No Job

    Liss RN replied to Liss RN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thank you, Tree2144 for your response! I'm primarily interested in working in the ER (this is my dream job, but I know it is highly unlikely at this point as a new nurse). Right now I'm considering...

    Liss RN replied to believeallispossible's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes, Lacharity questions will well prepare you for the test. Although I took the RN not the PN, I found the book to be a HUGE help. I had several questions on the NCLEX that I thought were similar,...

  17. Pass NCLEX recently without Kaplan?

    Liss RN replied to shannahan's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I passed the NCLEX 3 weeks ago with 75 questions, and I did not do Kaplan/any program. To study I used the Lacharaty, Saunders comprehensive, and NCLEX 4000. These resources were a huge help!!...

  20. Critical/Trauma Care Internship

    Liss RN replied to NurseyofMercy's topic in General Students

    Internships/residencies are great opportunities. You typically get a few months of time working with a preceptor and possibly additional classroom training. They offer a lot more support for new grads...

  21. Pearson Vue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 2

    Liss RN replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yea, I believe you need to wait for it to say "delivery successful" to try the PVT. It shouldn't take more than a few hours for that to come up. I took the NCLEX-RN 2 weeks ago and passed with 75, and...

  22. At my boiling point...you are NOT a Nurse...of ANY kind!!!!

    Liss RN replied to nursehunnie's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I have seen this as well. It is very frustrating for someone who worked hard for that RN LICENSE. Not to mention it is falsely presenting oneself, as classicdame said. When I was a student I worked on...

  23. Advice for those new RNs looking for jobs

    Liss RN replied to himilayaneyes's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thank you for the advice! I just passed the NCLEX and have not started applying yet as I am waiting for my BON to issue license info, but these are good things to keep in mind. I have heard many...

  24. Low Overall GPA

    Liss RN replied to JTX1717's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know what you mean..it can be very frustrating because programs are so competitive. I was told the minimum GPA was a 3.0 at my school. Somehow I managed to make it. I did talk to the director of...

  25. I need two people to respond to this question about nurses and attire.

    Liss RN replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    I think solid-colored scrubs are best/most professional. I can't stand the plain white ones. I think bright colored or "fun" scrub tops are absolutely acceptable for Peds though! I am
