TCU Fall '09

gasmaster · Apr 22, 2009

I think it's specific to certain buildings. It's just down the block from the anesthesia building. The area around TCU is very mixed. Some of the most expensive homes in FW are there, and then a few blocks from that are some of the worst neighborhoods. So it's a toss up. West gets a little iffy. SW is good in certain areas, NE is good, NW some areas good.

Present and accounted for...I'm starting CRNA school at TCU this fall as well. Nice to meet you guys! I, too, am trying to figure out where to live for that first semester. I am moving from Tulsa. I have no clue, but plan on driving down there in the next month or two to pin it all down. I want to live close to school as well. Good luck and I look forward to meeting you guys soon!

I'll be there April 30! Not really sure what the Expo is all about, but I'll be there nonetheless. See you there!

2 blocks away is no problem. I can walk that no problem. I had just heard that there was zero parking anywhere. Glad to know that isn't true. Now to find an apt somewhere that isnt going to cost a small fortune. Thanks for the feedback.

Ok, so according to Kim in the TCU offc, the expo is a job expo? I haven't received my invite yet but she said it's in the mail. Finding a post grad job now.....nice!

gasmaster · Apr 28, 2009

Ah, didn't get the career fair notice in the mail because they were sent to the new students accepted this year. Since I was not on that list, as the hold-over from last year, I didn't get it. I was getting paranoid! Ha! Anyway, so Carol gave me all the info & I am planning on going. Sounds like a great opportunity to network.

For those of you that got to go to the expo...how was it?

For those of you that got to go to the expo...how was it?

It was okay, lots of people there, but the recruiters were really wanting to talk to the folks going into clinicals & those graduating. I did learn that a lot of jobs will hire when you are still about a year from graduation so that they can lock you in to a position. I also learned that a lot of positions are paying REALLY nice sign on bonuses. I was most interested in St. Jude. They were very interesting....all CRNA's, not a single MDA on staff! Cool huh?

Thanks for the info! I am glad to know that there are sign on bonuses in this economy. Sounds like St. Judes would be a good place to work. I am looking forward to attending this next year.
