U.S.A. Georgia

I just applied to piedmont for their fall rn residency program in critical care.
I have an interview next week and am getting nervous and excited at the same time.
Has anyone applied for this position?

I hope you get it! everyone who makes it through nursing school should def have a job coming out of school..geez! i'm looking everywhere!! a lot of hospitals in chicago want you to wait til april to apply.
it gets on my nerves because I've gone to 2 jobs fairs in the area & a lot of them say apply in April...it's like, i don't pay my fee to get into the fair to be told that! so i guess i'm taking matters into my own hands :-/ because i really don't wanna be unemployed too long after graduation!
are you currently a CNA or PCT?
I also have family in GA so that would be nice. for some reason, i really wanna live down south. its one thing living in a big city your whole life. you get used to that living & when you go somewhere else, you have these big expectations in terms of entertainment or social life. but i wouldn't mind living in TN or GA. i've been to SC once, but never NC.

I am just like you!!!! I need a job before graduation. I have no experience as a CNA. I honestly don't think they cared. Are u a CNA? If you are, that can be a plus. It will be nice if we both get in to Piedmont. I really hope you get a call soon.
I am a CNA on an onc floor now. my application status still just says 'app received' i hope i hear from someone soon. the hosp i had the phone interview with sent me a rejection email & i was just sooo sure i would get it lol. it was in the middle-of-nowhere texas anyway lol
There are so many hospitals are out there. Don't get discouraged! Plz let me know if you hear from piedmont!! :)
i will! i hope its soon, but u said they're working with the new hired for March...so i have to practice patience lol it's soo hard for me to do
did u apply for gwinnett medical center as well?
Yes i applied today. did you apply there???
lol yess i applied there 2 days ago!
hey! NewNurse83, did you get an invite from Gwinnett today? There is an open house & you HAVE to go to be considered...I'm considering paying $230 to get on a plane & go!
Yes I did get the invite. I may go there too. I am only 3 1/2 hr away so. Wow you are going to go to atl for the open house and fly back ?
yea i have to determine if it's really worth it! its an 11hr drive, but like a 2hr flight...but i have a cousin in decatur so they'll drive me there & back...i'll just be paying for the flight! when i can find out if i can get those 3 days off
At least you have your cousin there!! Wow let me know if you decided to go. I think I am going to the open house check it out!!:)
