  1. Fresh Heart Training

    I started out my internship in the CVICU, and as much as they would give you the "less sick" CVICU patients they just sort of threw you in there to sink or swim kind of deal. You always had someone around but at the same time there were multiple sick...
  2. Pain management post open heart surgery?

    Most of our patients come out and follow our Rapid Extubation Protocol unless there are complications or the surgeon wants to sleep them overnight r/t some past issues. If they don't have an IABP or something preventing them from getting up (high dos...
  3. Parkland Hospital - Good Place to Work?

    Lately they have been getting dinged because a patient died in restraints (which is a no-no!) and for infection control. I don't know if they solved that or not. I interviewed there in May for ER. It's definitely a good experience because it's a coun...
  4. I went to a satellite campus for my nursing school in Round Rock and I found that it relied heavily on who you knew in the hospitals. I didn't apply to Austin because I was moving back home to DFW, but I had a friend who had a relatively lower GPA an...
  5. Baylor 2011 Internships

    Honestly, No. It was about a 3.31...I had a 3.5 but due to circumstances and certain classes/professors a lot of us took a hit our last semester.
  6. Baylor 2011 Internships

    Baylor will call you. If I remember correctly I think she sends you an e-mail asking to set up a time to interview. You will set up a time with the recruiter (mine was ******** ******) and she's really nice and the phone interview went smoothly even ...
  7. BSN Now or ADN Later?

    Good luck to you, this was my second degree. I had a 4 year degree before pursuing my BSN. Luckily, I was a science major and a lot of my classes were accepted at pre-reqs and I had managed to take psych while I was still in school because I was thin...
  8. How do your pronounce "peds"?

    I say, "peeds"
  9. BSN Now or ADN Later?

    I am a new grad, and yes, financial aid isn't very good but this was my second degree. A lot of the places I applied to for work said they ruled out ADN's right off the bat because many places are looking for BSN candidates. Good luck!
  10. DFW GN/RN June 2011 Internships

    There are so many applicants for these internships; it's getting really competitive. I was offered a position with Baylor CVICU yesterday and had to professionally tell the other facility I was unable to sign with them yesterday. Good luck to all of ...
  11. DFW GN/RN June 2011 Internships

    Phone interview went really well. Scheduled for an Interview in person Friday. They said they would let me know immediately...which is great because I'd have to sign with the other position in the afternoon. I'd love to work in the CVICU!!! Good luck...
  12. DFW GN/RN June 2011 Internships

    Thank you Lovelymo79. I am still going to interview but I definitely agree that a job in hand is better than an "if".
  13. Dell Children's/Seton/St David's Info Please!

    I think salary for Seton is starting off for GN's here is around the $22 range. All I know is stuff for Graduate Nurses, so I'm sorry if this doesn't help you.
  14. Dell Children's/Seton/St David's Info Please!

    My nursing program is new to the area, but I've done some clinicals at Dell and it's an amazing facility. The only thing I know about applying is that Seton seems to have a lot of "glitches" in applications so you need to stay on top of the people wo...
  15. DFW GN/RN June 2011 Internships

    Is anyone else just hearing from Baylor Critical Care? I thought they had forgotten about me so I've already verbally accepted a position for Critical Care in the DFW area; but then today I get this e-mail asking for a phone interview for Baylor. I'm...
  16. Critical Care Trauma Nurse Parkland

    I received an email saying that I wasn't chosen for the ER residency but then like 3 hours later I got a call saying that I was on their alternate list as well. Would have been nice to know BEFORE I got the email. I've accepted a position as well at ...
  17. Critical Care Trauma Nurse Parkland

    Does anyone know how many people they are interviewing for ER?
  18. Critical Care Trauma Nurse Parkland

    I actually received an e-mail yesterday asking me for an interview. They said they only have 10 positions!!!
  19. DFW GN/RN June 2011 Internships

    TXPeds is correct--only 10 positions at Parkland ER. Thanks meggo--It actually surprised me. I scared my roommate because I jumped up really quick when I got the e-mail.
  20. DFW GN/RN June 2011 Internships

    I'm sorry to hear that I just happened to check my e-mail today and Parkland ER sent me a message requesting an interview so I guess I started freaking out too soon, but it's so suspenseful waiting for the responses from the different hospitals!!!
  21. Critical Care Trauma Nurse Parkland

    I've applied to Parkland also and haven't received any good or bad news...so I'm assuming it's good for now?
  22. DFW GN/RN June 2011 Internships

    Hi, I'm new to this site, but as of recently when I started getting nervous about getting a job I ran into this site. I have applied to basically all of the hospitals in DFW. I had an interview with UT Southwestern OR Internship and I have an interv...
