   I already accepted another position at DCMC, but was wondering if anyone heard anything from the PICU? That was where I really wanted to be, but knew it was a long shot.

   When I spoke with the recruiter I asked if there are any residency spots left at DCMC. She said most have already been filled by internal transfers, but she is still making a few calls throughout the month. Hoping yall hear soon! At least half my coh...

   The interview went great! Interview ended at 1300 and I had an offer by 1730! Keep at it, and don't give up. The unit is an inpatient pediatric rehab/medsurg. I really wanted PICU, but this is a really good fit, too. I can always transfer to PICU in...

   I think you're right. I woudln't get discouraged yet. Most of the units at DCMC have not started making calls. My suspision is that the recruiters are trying to fill adult spots first to thin out the pedi applicant pool.

    padawon replied to Hopefulnurs's topic in Texas

    It's true. Round Rock has some hard instructors. I took my skills class there with level one professors. I specifically went to EVC because of my experience with 1105. I'm very happy that I did. I've done very well at evc and my friends from 1105 tha...

    I had a 34. I had Bs in a lot of my pre reqs, but I did well on my HESI. If you have a choice between campuses, go to EVC. I did skills at RRC and am now at EVC for level 1. The difference between the instructors is night and day.
