The Lowdown on Austin Hospitals

U.S.A. Texas

Published

My husband is being transferred to Austin, and I couldn't be more thrilled. I am originally from there many years ago. Anyway, can someone fill me in on the hospitals to work at in Austin. I have 2 years med-surg and 1 year of per-diem psych at a state hospital here in NJ. I am looking for a place with nursing self-governance and where the turnover is low because nurses are respected. Can anyone comment?

Specializes in ICU.
Hi All!! For anyone who has been following my posts, I HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED INTO THE VERSANT RESIDENCY PROGRAM!! I am now a cardiac medsurge nurse :)

Please don't take this the wrong way but I don't think you are a nurse yet based upon your previous post that says you will graduate in May.

Most likely, you will pass the NCLEX and do fine in the versant program, but until then you are not a cardiac medsurge or any other kind of nurse.

Hopefully someday you will understand where I am coming from.

I'm not sure about Texas, but in many states it is against the law to call yourself a nurse unless you actually are.

I work at St. Davids South Austin Medical Center. Started as a new grad, and I absolutley love it. I have a year and 4months under my belt. The nurses there are all very team oriented and are soooo helpful. I absolutley love my floor. The managers are also so caring and helpful. You are never alone there, and its the best hospital system in Austin I think!!

Yes! It is in the NICU. Crazy...I know! It's on Tuesday.

This is my second time applying, and my first interview.

and, Thank you! I hope it goes well!

Working in the NICU in Austin is my dream job, did you do anything different the second time applying? I'm currently working in a different city on a different floor with less than 1 year of experience but I'm applying to the October cohort? Any tips? Thanks (:

Hi! Do you ever check this? Can't figure out how to send you an email, but I do have a couple questions about applying to Seton hospitals.

I'd love to hear what advice you have!

Thanks!
