So my situation was a little complicated after graduation but its finally working out in the right direction. I graduated 2.5 years ago with a BSN in a second degree accelerated program. Had great grades and was generally a good student (3.89 GPA) but wasn't able to work due to immigration issues. Finally got that worked out and got my documents necessary for work this week and now finding a job after being out the industry for so long has me feeling like I forgot a lot of things and a little terrified of an interview process and their questions.

I'm not really worried about the job itself because I'm sure the orientation will get me more comfortable and accustomed to the skills and knowledge I once had plus a lot more. I'm more worried about scoring the job especially that I would like to start in ICU. Well my question here is to ask everyone here their thoughts on what I should do--I really would like to read something to refresh my mind of important things. I asked friends and they said they wouldn't bother reading any patho or anatomy books but does anyone know of a good refresher general book that's not 500 pages just to get me a little more confident in myself for any upcoming interviews.

Also, does anyone know of hospitals where graduate students were successful landing an ICU position in the NYC area?

Looking forward to some responses,
Danny

There are nurse refresher courses at Jr colleges, and CE courses, I'd start there. Good luck!
