Tmc

Yep, they do. At least, that's what they told me when I did my clinicals there. They were actively recruiting us as early as second semester.

Cool! How did you like the facility? Do you, would you work there? How is the pay?

Thank you!

I didn't like the facitlity at all.

I used to work there and I don't now. However, to be fair, I worked there as a tech, and not a nurse. I did 1 year of my clinicals there (Peds, psych, OB, L&D, and med-surge) I worked in L&D and ED as a tech. I have not done clinicals or worked in thier critical care units.

I hear their pay is awful! But that was last year when I was new, and you know how much pay can change in a year. I think it was under $22/hr. Eek!

Oh, but I did like the OR. I like the set-up, I liked the pre-op area where everybody got their central lines placed. It was a fun time. However, the nurses in the OR were SUPER mean to us students. I bet that wears off after they get to know you though. At least I hope so.

Sorry, TMC does not have the best reputation in town.

Any way you could look into UMC?

I went to the TMC recruitment day, they splash out lots of money...treated all of us to a night at the Tanque Verde Guest Ranch...very nice. They had a "Meet the Managers" reception prior to that. I was looking into going into the ER. The ER rep was ..to put it nicely ...not very impressive. However, just for a look, I was taken on the OR tour by the OR manager. I really liked her, she gave me a great tour and almost had me....If you are interested, definitely have them take you around. When I get burned out at the ER I work at, I just might give it a try..

I just wanted to post this for you. UMC offers fellowships, one being in OR. Here is the link. http://www.azumc.com/UMC/body.cfm?id=182
