You have a chance at VA hospitals, its always open and its a federal job

In Houston there is Memorial Hermann, HCA hospitals has tons of opening in diff locations too, Cypress Fairbanks, North Cypress, St. Lukes, Methodist Hospital, Austin area im not sure but Scott&White accepts all the time new grads! You guys just need to get that new grad window , once u got 1 yr ur ok to go anywhere except CA coz theyre just always souch competition there its impossible sad to say, Good luck.

Houston like Memorial Hermann, HCA hospitals, Cypress Fairbanks alot, im not sure Austin but I know Scott&White always have new grad

bad choice San Diego is nice im from there but no opening unless ur experienced nurse. My advice get in as a Cna then u got a chance

Im from Scripps and i went to that new grad but i needed to move to Houston, TX... if u guys are trying to get in a new grad you guys need to consider Texas coz there is soo much here to apply at. Sad to say CA especially San Diego is very limited in New grad training for RN's good luck to u all

Thanks HouTx!

I heard the program here is awesome but very competitive and stressful. Good luck on you all!

We are moving in Houston area in 2 months, thank God it was easy to find a job over there knowing I have less than 1 yr experience. Im torn between Memorial Hermann Memorial city med. center or Conroe Regional medical center? Conroe is booming they said and schools has such high ratings, I dont know about Memorial. Though Memorial has been there for a long time. Anybody familiar of these hospital in Houston TX area?

thank you guys for your advices...really appreciate it. I have 6 yrs experience as a Unit secretary at the same hospital then 7 mons RN. Lying is not a good idea, just desperate to move. Im not happy with that place and very exhausted. I know I'll eventually learn to manage it. Thanks again for all your replies.

I just need some advice cause i barely finished my new grad training and only got 7 months of RN experience, then got news that my hubby needs to transfer to Houston for better job opportunities, ive been reading alot of peoples concern that there are not that much jobs around, is it ok to say in the resume that i got 1 yr experience so atleast employers would even consider me? I know its bad to lie but in our economy right now its like you really need to do everything? would they find out?

As what i have heard from my manager, as much as possible try not to get hired by subacute hospital like Kindred or Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) because once u start working there your not considered a new grad anymore and ur experience is not counted because its not a hospital setting. I know its hard to be picky right now coz its hard to find new grad Rn jobs but what can you do? ...

I' ve been seeing newgrads volunteering in hospital and introducing themselves in the floor. In this way you set your foot in and get hired! Good luck to all!
