As far as getting the names of people to talk to in HR, all you have to do is call the hospital and ask for the number for nurse recruitment. But like I said, I did all that and it got me nowhere. I was applying for jobs, and then making contact with...

You got a call from a recruiter? I think that is great! I only ever got one call from a recruiter and it was to come in for an interview. But I applied for several jobs and never got a call prior to that. Inova DOES hire news grads, despite any rumor...

I am in my final semester of nursing school and will be graduating this May. I am currently doing a clinical preceptorship on a same day surgery unit, and did IMCU the first half of the semester. I really enjoyed my clinical experience on the IMCU an...
