JacSeqsurg

I was just wondering who has gotten the Methodist Dallas Internship! I'm in the OR and I'm really excited to meet everyone!

I applied and got an OR interview and was supposed to hear last week. I'm guessing they are trying to recover from the West disaster but I'm on pins and needles.

Thanks! I really do just want to be in the OR, nothing else has really struck a chord with me so far. Did you apply to a hospital that you were familiar with (like did clinicals or worked as a PCT)?

My clinical starts at 0600, ends at 1800 and we have an hour commute to the hospital

Thank you all for posting. I was thinking of doing a med-surg year just to have some kind of acute care experience in case I did move or like my prof said, it becomes too stressful with kids and being on call and I needed/wanted to change units. I do love the OR (had a clinical in the OR today in fact!!) and I believe I will apply for everything, and if I get it, I'll take it. And if not, I'll just stick out med-surg until I can transfer units. Thanks again everyone!

I am a nursing student, set to graduate in May of 2013. I know I want to be in the OR because every time I've shadowed and observed I have been in love. I have been told that I should start applying around November to line up a job. My question is, should I apply for my dream OR RN position or a Med/Surg to get some acute care background, or should I just wait and do a GN position or maybe an internship? Any comments would be super helpful. Thanks!

I'm not graduating until next May but I was wondering, should I apply for a GN position or an RN position and when should I apply for them? I am a very eager beaver and I want to get started and have everything in order so that I can really impress the nurse managers that hire. Also any tips for job hunting would be very much appreciated!
