Hello, I was wondering what everyones opinions are on feeling micromanaged by nurse managers, nurse educators, infection preventionist, etc. I'll start with saying I tend to be a little of a perfectionist in the ICU that I work in (what ICU nurse is...

I live in Amarillo, TX. Moved here about 3.5 years ago. Be prepared for friendly people who say hello in the grocery store and gentlemen who hold doors open for you and take their hats off when they meet you! Everyone is alllll about their guns, so a...

I've been a nurse for 6 months now and landed an amazing job right out of school in the Cardiac ICU at a local hospital. During my orientation my preceptors and managers said I was exceeding expectation left and right and couldn't believe how well I ...

Thank you all for your responses! Staying per diem at the hospital is a good idea, however the clinic is hiring a full time employee, so the only available days to work at the hospital would be saturday or sunday. Which is doable, if there aren't an...

Hi everyone, Last week, I performed my very first round chest compressions during a code. (had practiced on mannequins, but never an actual person) There was a team of nurses, docs, pharmacists, there to guide me and ensure I was doing adequate comp...

Hey guys, I just found out that I passed my NCLEX! I took it, the computer shut off at 75, did the Pearson Vue trick, got the good pop up, then 48 hours later found out I passed! I took Hesi's all throughout school, including the exit which we had ...

Hello, I come from a school with a 98% pass rate for several years in a row now. I was top of my class and graduated Magna Cum Laude with a 3.873 GPA (so close to summa gaaah! :/) anyways.. I recently took my NCLEX and passed in 75 questions. We had...

I have not received any rejection emails. I am not sure they are sending them out this year? I haven't heard of anyone receiving any.

Well I guess we'll keep our fingers crossed!

Has anyone heard anything from Critical Care or ER?

Hello, BSA used to be a non-profit hospital and is now for-profit. They weigh very heavily on patient satisfaction scores and it is very apparent for nurses who work there. They are also hurting for nurses very badly. Many nurses that used to work...

From my personal experience, While I was in nursing school, the majority of our exams contained CRITICAL THINKING questions, not memorization questions that you can answer from simply reading a book. In my experience, the nurses that excelled in sc...

Hi everyone, I am seeking information about getting hired at Baylor Hospital(s) in Dallas, TX as a new graduate RN. I am interested in working in the ICU and plan on applying for their new grad internship come February. I am currently completing my...

Hi, join our on-going conversation about the internships. Search "Baylor June 2015" and it should come up as the first one! That thread has helped me quite a bit!

My classmates have had their OR & Med/Surg phone interviews already. Apparently the only place that is left open for those positions is in Garland. The interviewers said Baylor University Medical Center and Plano are full for those internships. ...

I am hoping that is the case. Has anyone received any rejection emails?

2 of the people in my class got their phone calls today and their phone interviews are next week! They applied for the Medsurg internship and the OR internship. I applied for Critical Care, Progressive Care, and ER and have not heard anything yet.

Hi everyone, I also applied and have not heard anything back. I hope they start soon!

I have also applied! I have not heard anything back yet though.

Hey everyone, I am graduating in May and applying for some new grad internships. Here's my dilemma, there are some at a hospital I would consider working at, however they are not on the unit I would like. I am very interested in ICU and would really ...

Thank you so much! This information is very helpful!

Hey TexHaws thank you for the helpful information. I am heavily considering applying to one of Methodist Dallas new grad internships fro June 2015. I have tried to contact the lady in HR that the website says to call for more info, but she has not re...

Wow that's crazy that only a handful of them actually found jobs! I definitely will work on my networking! Thank you for the advice, I really appreciate it! Which hospital do you work at, if you don't mind me asking? Any insight into the different h...

I agree! I better start getting working on finding some connections in the Dallas area! Just from reading the other posts, I feel as if new grads sometimes have a hard time finding jobs in that area, so I'll need all the help I can get! haha
