    Lovelymo79 replied to aghols12's topic in Texas Nursing

    I wouldn't worry too much about them not asking about clinical experiences. I really can't remember my questions but I don't think they asked much about my experiences. What they'll look more for is...

    Lovelymo79 replied to aghols12's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm from June 2011. I can't imagine why they would drop the rate for GNs. That's less than what they start new grads in

  25. Anyone applied for an Internship for Scott & White, June 2012?

    Lovelymo79 replied to aghols12's topic in Texas Nursing

    Unless they've changed it, which i dont think they have, this wasn't the case last June when I was an intern. We got the same base rate as a GN that we did as a Staff Nurse. There was no pay change....
