   RNHeatherLA replied to Nurzelady's topic in New Nurse

   I just wanted to let you guys know I got a call this morning (they left a message) from Loma Linda. They didn't say in the message that they wanted me to come interview, but I assumed that's why they were calling. My first choice was Intermediate car...

   RNHeatherLA replied to sunnyskies9's topic in New Nurse

   I used to think it would be weird/awkward to give a thank-you letter in person after the interview, but the HR manager for the hospital I volunteered coached me a little before an interview and said that I should definitely write thank-you cards righ...

   RNHeatherLA replied to Nurzelady's topic in New Nurse

   Haha Littleguccipiggy, I feel the same way! I will definitely be obsessively checking this forum. My heart leaps at every cellphone ring too, and I get so disappointed when an unknown number turns out to just be my college's alumni association asking...

    RNHeatherLA replied to studystudy's topic in California

    Aww I'm so sorry you didn't get the position, I was excited for you that you had a second interview and thought you'd get it! I also got a rejection email today from the PICU but it must be 100 times worse for you since you got farther in the process...
