  5. Did anyone receive the pre-screening email from Methodist for the Winter
  6. I had a similar experience. You handled it like a pro! Good

    Yes. I was in the waitlist but never got called. I emailed the recruiter several times and haven't heard back. Thank you! I wish relocating was an option for me
  9. Houston Nurse Residency Summer 2020

    Yeah that's what I'm thinking. That it could be illegal to practice under my license, I'm sure I would be held to the legal scope of a nurse. I just want an open door, I am honestly tired of waiting....
  10. Yes, out of those three. I am not sure about the rest of the GN programs. Most places do say that you qualify for a raise after your first year. For HCA, the pay is for 2 years. They make you sign a 2...

  12. I am a May graduate, I have interviewed for HCA and St Luke's already, these numbers came from the recruiters there. My friend started at MH in July and that's her pay. Like I said above, St Luke's...
  13. MH is $29, HCA is $28.50, St Luke's is $31.50 (+$4/hr if @ TMC) I am not sure about the
  14. Is anyone here a May graduate applying for a second (or ever third) time? I took the NCLEX right away and have been licensed since June. I have a 3.3 GPA. Got as far as an interview with St...

  18. I have tried every hospital, submitted over 100 applications. Is nobody hiring ADNs? I am in a BSN bridge program and will finish in 6 months. I graduated in May and have been licensed since June....

  22. Houston Nurse Residency Summer 2020

    Thanks, I am at a disadvantage because I can't really relocate. Does anyone know of any small hospitals in the houston area that I could apply to? I have tried everything. MH, TCH, Methodist, St...
  23. Houston Nurse Residency Summer 2020

    Has anyone heard of anyone getting a job in a hospital (not home health) without a residency program? This is all so
