THR Versant Residency

Does anyone know when Texas Health Resources will be posting external GN applications ? I know they posted internal but any word on external ?

I know they barely have anything posted. Hopefully more will come this week. But doesn't look like it.

Last I heard is their group graduating with my class from el Centro all got positions and they hired a lot of internal employees, they HAD posted 3-4 spots but I think that may be all this time around.

So are the current positions that are open AFTER the internal applicants have been hired?

Yes, they hire internally first. The maternal/newborn position for Dallas wasn't up for very long. They've already started taking them down!! They had one for Harris in Ft. Worth too and it's down now. I'm thankful that I applied before they were taken down.

Just apply to them all and hopefully if they are posted that means they are still open. Usually companies will open it to internal applicants and THEN post to the public but you never know!

Good luck to all of yall. I still have one more year in my ADN program but I hear the job market in the DFW is brutal so I was just curious.

Not brutal at all if you set yourself up correctly to get a job. Regardless of what you hear it REALLY IS about who you know and if you already have a position at a hospital or not (and if they like you and you work well with their team). Get a job PRN during school as a pct/tech or nurse intern. You have a MUCH greater chance of getting hired as a GN/new grad!

If not - well, good luck! Me and my classmates who were working got jobs easy, those who weren't are still hoping.

Thanks Crossfitnurse! Unfortunately I can't afford the pay cut taking a PCT job, I have interviewed and been offered jobs but the pay is too low. So that is why I worry. But at any rate I just try to leave a lasting impression on the managers on my floor and do my best.

I would really consider even a PRN position and work twice a month or something. I'm serious - I'm seeing the aftermath of it now for those who were not in a hospital system already. Good luck to you!

Residencies are not what they seem. Please be warned...a contract as well as low hourly wage are part of the deal. Yes, the wage is better than nothing and yes a job is better than no job but there are jobs out there that don't have a contract. My advice is to work six months to a year doing something like dialysis clinics, vaccine clinics, or something to get experience. There are a lot of small hospitals that hire new grads all the time and thats because they always leave to greener pastures. But at least you can look for your dream job while you work and get experience without getting stuck in a contract. I was in a residency and my cohorts that got jobs like those I mentioned were payed better than me and were eventually able to land jobs with hospitals after 6 to 12 months doing something they really wanted to do. Don't give up. Keep looking. Keep applying. There are jobs. You may have to commute are work in an area your not in love with but its at least a step in the right direction. Good luck

Thanks Vincent12! That is encouraging. We hear how hard the market is but some encouragement is nice!

Vincent12 what local area hospitals are you seeing hiring new grads without a residency? Curious to keep them on my radar.
