Hello Houston Nurses, I have a question about getting hired and graduate nursing programs.

Hello everyone, I’m currently a senior about to graduate in May (hopefully). I’m applying to jobs in houston but Im nervous because although houston has a lot of hospitals, there’s a ton of competition. When applying to nursing graduate residency programs are their typically a lot of positions available? Most places say go with your first choice but I don’t want to limit my opportunities. I’m interesting in working at memorial Herman in either the woodlands or the medical center, but I’m also open to other locations and hospitals.

A little bit about myself; I’m a bilingual Male (Spanish) getting his BSN with a GPA of 2.9 in just Nursing GPA (got one C in medSurge/adult health 1 that brought me down other 😞 than that 1 A and all Bs). Is there anything I can do to help my case and put me in a better position to get hired? I’m interested in Oncology/IMU/PACU/ICU/ER/OR/Observation. I’m really interested in oncology since I had Hodgkin’s and the nurses were really compassionate and it sparked my interest in nursing and I would love to work with oncology patients as I could relate
