    Childrens Medical Center of Dallas July 2016 Residency

    Nope, and I was wondering the same. I e-mailed the recruiter, since she said we'd get it in a week or so.

    PICU or Pediatric Oncology

    Hi! While I do not have RN experience in the pediatric heme/onc unit, I was a nursing assistant. What I know for sure about parents is that 99% of the time, our kids have a family member present 24/7. I know you are asking about comparisons to the P...

    Childrens Medical Center of Dallas July 2016 Residency

    I looked through an old thread for the residency at Children's Dallas. Some people got their offers 4 weeks after their interviews.

    Childrens Medical Center of Dallas July 2016 Residency

    Thanks! We got a hold of each other and confirmed that the good news was an offer. I am not sure if they are done or not. I got the call yesterday around 5:30 central time, which is kind of after regular business hours.

    Childrens Medical Center of Dallas July 2016 Residency

    The recruiter called me today saying she had "good news" for me. I was unavailable, so it was a voicemail, but I will be calling tomorrow first thing to see what this good news is! I thought you all would like to know CVICU calls may be starting.[emo...

    Childrens Medical Center of Dallas July 2016 Residency

    I remember feeling a little strange when they didn't validate my ticket after my tour. Where I currently am, that's like the first consideration for going anywhere and the first thing offered in any customer service job. I didn't ask and they didn'...

    Still waiting for CVICU as well.

    Childrens Medical Center of Dallas July 2016 Residency

    I did. I asked at the end when they may let me know if it all works out. I always forget details when I'm nervous, so I can't remember if she said I'd know BY the 28th. Someone else posted that they'd let her/him know BY the 28th. I mean, either way,...

    Childrens Medical Center of Dallas July 2016 Residency

    It does say starting the 28th, but I can't remember what the interviewers told me. I think they said by the 28th. I just don't want the 28th to come an go without knowing if that's the end or beginning. Anyway, I might email tomorrow. It doesn't affe...

    Childrens Medical Center of Dallas July 2016 Residency

    Did you get a reply? I'm hesitant to email the recruiter, but I'm still not sure if notifications are sent out by the 28th or starting the 28th.

    Seton RN residency July 2016

    I've also just applied for the Part II application for DCMC. Does anyone know if there is a timeline, or if things are kind of done on a rolling basis? Or more importantly, what's the turn around time for interview invitations?

    Holy crap!

    Childrens Medical Center of Dallas July 2016 Residency

    I was going to post that, since the second interview was more like a meet-and-greet, I can't imagine not getting an offer. I tried looking through past threads, and no one said they did not get an offer after their unit interview. But does anyone kno...

    Childrens Medical Center of Dallas July 2016 Residency

    I haven't asked that particular question. During my interview, the managers explained that the recruiter may be letting people know around March 23 but most likely by the 28th. It seems like a few pieces of this process differed from the given inform...

    students charting Assessments

    I rarely enjoyed being a student nurse, because it's so hard to feel like you are doing anything significant. But then I was assigned to a nurse on a neuro telemetry floor for three clinical days. He let me chart a full assessment in Epic, which mea...

    Thanks for sharing that Nurse20161.[emoji108]🏽 I'll probably be having ridiculous ICU dreams of grandeur and glory tonight.

    Childrens Medical Center of Dallas July 2016 Residency

    Anyone tour the CVICU? Being out of state, I didn't get to take a peek after my interview. I'm curious how the unit is set up, like are computers right outside the rooms, is it a large unit, what else is on the same floor, etc. Any information you wa...

    Thinking about leaving nursing school

    This is so interesting, because I remember having similar feelings as an undergraduate. However, I was a Fine Art major who had thoughts occasionally about being a nurse. Well, those thoughts followed me right into the first year of an MFA program. ...

    Weird/ Dumb Nursing School Rules

    Oh, I wanted to add that I despised that we were made to bring our skills bag to sim lab every single time throughout the entire program. I would park off campus and walk to class, and in the summer, it was awful. Our school scrubs were dark red and...

    Weird/ Dumb Nursing School Rules

    Sorry for the negativity OP. I think your post generated a bit more hostility than you intended. I'm all for a rant-about-nursing school post! I remember sitting in my program's orientation and rolling my eyes a little when they told us we had to we...

    Childrens Medical Center of Dallas July 2016 Residency

    I just had my Skype interview with two nurse leaders/managers for the CVICU. Like others have said, it went really well. It was actually quicker than I thought-- 20 minutes total. We took about 15 minutes for their questions and my answers. Then,...

    Words You Hate

    I just heard a mom refer to her daughter's perineum as her "koochie" during a diaper change. Ugh. So yeah, I'm adding that one on my list, too.

    Cooks Children's Pediatric Nursing Residency July 2016

    I forgot to say that no, they are not hard. Just google some behavioral based interview questions and have good, solid stories for them. I wrote down significant experiences and then was able to apply those to some of their questions. Some though cau...
