Is anyone else here in the area having a hard time finding a job as an Rn? I graduated in September and have been applying to tons of stuff and have only heard back from one place. Does anyone have an idea of who may be hiring new grad rns in fort wo...

This is what I send out at the beginning of the year and again after Christmas break. I also do a PowerPoint at the beginning of the year that goes over everything. I send out bags of bandaids and tooth boxs too, so that helps on the little stuff. I...

30-40, 11 daily meds. Most stuff is simple stuff though. I would say I only see like 5 kids who are actually sick.

I could have written the post myself. I've been in school nursing for 2 years now and I feel the same way. My husbands military and I have 3 kids so the schedule is nice. I really hate being the only nurse in the building and being the only medical p...

I know this seems silly but it's been bugging me. I had a kid come in and said he got poked in the thigh by a pencil. His overall demeanor was happy, he was with a friend and they were laughing. He had on tight jeans that he couldn't roll up so I had...

Thank you guys, that makes me feel better. I always try my best to call when needed but some days are crazy and I'd be there all night if I called every parent. I suppose everything is a learning experience though!

Hello! I am an RN in the DFW area. I have little over a years experience as an RN working in postpartum and a year experience working in pediatrics as an LVN. I have 3 children, 2 that are school age and a toddler. My husband has a demanding job in ...

Thank you all for your input! I appreciate it What do you do as a field case manager? Also, what is PSA nursing? Sorry, I am still trying to get familiar with all of the home health terms.

You could always email/call the nursing recruiter who set up the phone interview. The recruiter I have been working with is great, she always replys to emails or calls back quickly. Good luck!

Thank you! I'm excited ? It is a staff nurse position, not a residency. I was also told the 21st I would hear about beginning the hiring process but I haven't heard either. Hopefully we will hear something soon ! Which Baylor are u going to be at?

Thank you, I am happy for you as well! Congrats on graduation and good luck with nclex!

Well I saw that they had just posted an opening in that unit so I emailed the nurse manager asking about the opening. I let her know I was very interested and she got in touch with the recruiter and I had an interview a few days later. The next day ...

Well I ended up getting hired on the postpartum unit at Baylor all saints! I'm really excited and I think it will be a good fit for me. Does anyone know how long the hospital orientation for Baylor is?

The nursing managers never got back to me. I just emailed the recruiter who told me all of the positions had been filled.

It's about 30 min, not too bad . How would I go about applying there? How do you like it so far?

Thank you NICUGN : ) you are right, I am trying to stay positive and move forward. I have been applying to other places in fort worth. I have 3 kids so I can't work in Dallas bc it is too far .

I didn't get the job, I'm happy for the new grads who did though : ) I am kind of discouraged though, I have been looking for a job for a year now without much luck.

I interviewed on the 9th as well. I'm not giving up yet but it's just frustrating to not know. I applied to Texas health, north hills and jps and haven't heard anything . I'm trying to stay positive though.

Congrats! It sounds like a really great opportunity. That is the position I interviewed for as well but I haven't heard anything so I am guessing I didn't get it. When did u interview?

Good luck and I hope you hear good news as well this week! Which area did u apply to?

I'm still waiting to hear if I got the labor and delivery internship . The nurse manager had said we would hear last Friday but no word yet . I emailed the nurse recruiter yesterday and she said she was working with the manager on her decision . I ju...

Wow ! That is awesome, congratulations!! I also graduated in July 2011 and have been looking for a while and applied to many internships with no luck . It is rough out there. I'm so glad you got a job you love! I had my interview at All Saints on Tu...

That's wonderful, congratulations!! I had my interview yesterday for l&d, I think it went well. The nurse manager was really nice. The internship program sounds great and they seem really supportive of new grads. She said they are hiring 6 peopl...

How did it go?

I also just submitted my app, I didn't call or anything. I do live in fort worth , she asked me which place I preferred . Wow, three is not many but I feel fortunate to have an interview . I got my rn last November and applied to so many internships ...
