Hello, I am a fairly new nurse. I have a year of Stepdown/PCU experience. I had the opportunity to take one of my patients down to cath lab and stay with them through their procedure basically shadowing the cath lab nurse. Since then, all I want to d...

Thank you all so much. I got the job. I received an email from the director saying he was impressed with my outlook on patient care and that it made up for all the experience in the world ? I am super excited but also extremely nervous. I have a lot ...

Thank you so much! This helps a lot. I am comfortable doing all of the above, as the step down I cam from did handle stable vents and some drips. I interviewed and I think it went well.

Same! That's why I was asking, it says med surg unit, but the spreadsheet says Emergency?

Did anyone receive the pre-screening email from Methodist for the Winter cohort?

I had a similar experience. You handled it like a pro! Good luck!

So this last cohort I interviewed for (but didn't make it) they told us that 95% of all residency spots are for TMC. The satellite hospitals don't have a residency program so the people that get selected for those positions have to travel to the med ...

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 ?

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. I don't necesarily need to work, but I don't want ...

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 year contract with them, also, if you live more t...

Does anyone know if we can work as PCA's if we are already licensed as RN's? I am getting so frustrated and losing hope.

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 pays a differential of $4/hr if in the med center. S...

MH is $29, HCA is $28.50, St Luke's is $31.50 (+$4/hr if @ TMC) I am not sure about the others.

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 Luke's but ZERO offers! I am getting so discouraged! O...

I did and never heard back. Sent a follow up email and no answer.

thanks!

The recruiter I was talking to is Dixie. I wonder if it matters.

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. Is anyone else in the same situation? Any advic...

Did anyone that's waiting on HCA receive an email asking if you were still interested and if you had an RN license yet? I graduated in May, have been getting periodical updates but after that email it's been silent for 3+ weeks. I wonder if they forg...

Hi, I am on the same boat. I graduated in May at the begining of this crazy pandemic. It's very frustrating! Wondering what you ended up doing?

No, they emailed today saying they didn't have any spots open yet. When did you graduate?

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 Lukes, MD Anderson, HCA, UMMC

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

Has anyone here completed the two semester option for the RN-BSN? The deadline to choose between the two and three semester option is coming up and I am almost 100% sure I can handle the 2 semester workload. Has anyone gone through it? Any feedback w...

That's great to know. Thank you.
