Ditto! This has been such a great resource through school, and I'm really looking forward to comparing notes.

I'm glad they started this forum. Started orientation today and start in the ER next week. Should be able to come up with some nice stories.

Hi everyone, I graduated in May and am working in LTC for now, I plan to apply at the hospital after the summer is over, but I have a lot going on this month (bought a house and I'm getting married!) So I thought I'd stay somewhere that I knew everyone and how things were ran. I have plenty of stress already:)

Yeah-we do have a home now don't we!! Thanks a bunch Allnurses, we needed this.

gerrihorse-definately take things one day at a time.

Holli-where did you go to school in Texas? Did I see somewhere that you are from the DFW area?

Have a great day and looking forward to getting to know you all through this forum.

Hi Grinnurse!

I am in DFW - I went to school through El Centro on the Brookhaven campus. You are here, too, right? Where did you go and where will you be working?

Hi Holli-

I took a position on a MS unit about 40 miles east of Dallas. Very small rural hosp. not to far from Canton (First Monday Trades Days) actually the home of Jamie Foxx. I am almost certain you have heard of that if not gone a zillion times!! I graduated in May from Trinity Valley Community College in Kaufman. Supposed to be one of the tougher NS in my neck of the woods. I live about 15 miles away from Canton.

Nice to meet someone who is halfway close to where I live. Have you found any good scrub shops in the DFW area? I have had the hardest time finding a good one. Will you be working for Childrens or Scottish Right? Have several class mates that went to Childrens-one I think is in the Trauma unit or ED.

Nice to meet you.

Hi there!

I did my psych rotation at Terrell in January and met some TV students!

Are you out near Tyler? I have lots of family in East Texas, and I have lived in DFW my whole life, so I am very familiar with the area, and Canton. I have spent a lot of time at the hospital there in Tyler, years ago, with family members.

I will be working at Cook's in Ft Worth. I actually live just south of Denton on I-35W, so it is closer. But I would work at Cook's even if I lived next door to Children's. I did do an externship at Children's, though. My daughter has been treated at both facilities and we all LOVE Cook's! It was the only place I ever wanted to work! I did attend a conference at Scottish Rite, and it seems like an amazing facility!

Good to "talk" to you!
