  2. I don't mean to complain..

    I hear ya Susanna. I have a great team of coworkers with me, but when we're all under the same pressures, its hard to often get support. I think Medicare is broken. Patient SATISFACTION truly has no...

  7. I don't mean to complain..

    I still, resonate with what Anna says. HHC might be different than the acute hospital care. True, the hospital has understaffed us, but when I'm unable to say "wait" to a patient that needs water for...

  10. I don't mean to complain..

  11. I don't mean to complain..

    I think that is also a main ache of my current job- I have complete patient care. Telemetry at my hospital (and maybe this is at all hospitals) is considered intermmediate care. I have 4 patients, but...
  12. I don't mean to complain..

  13. I don't mean to complain..

    If I could hug all of you, I would. Your words have really helped me put everything into perspective. I found such joy, and such a sense of pride when I graduated that I really truly defined myself as...
  14. Hi! So I couldn't find a thread for the March 2014 start date, so I thought I would start one! How is everyone? I believe we find out soon if we were selected for interviews. Anyone know anything...
  15. I think that is what I am most worried about- that I won't have time to pull any references together. I do believe they are interviewing over the course of a week or two? I can't recall. I emailed...

  18. Houston Area?

    Hi all! :) I currently reside in Colorado but was looking into what the job market looks like in Houston? What is the 'nursing climate' like? What health systems are the best? Any advice or comments...
  19. Houston Area?

    Oh I had no idea, thank you for that invaluable
  20. when i asked at a job fair they had they told me that it was essentially one interview by HR and one by the departments. That could have changed now. There is a panel of interviewers so you only get...

  23. I'm sorry to hear Southern at least you have UCH. I still haven't gotten anything from Children's, my status is still "screen". Does yours say anything different than route? I hope I didn't delete...
  24. I feel like everyone's says route, makes me nervous. Wish they would have sent an email to those that had no chance, haha. Been anxious the last 2 weeks r/t this whole process
