I know this is a very old post but I was just hired onto an ortho/uro unit and it makes me SO happy to see such a positive things about new grads on ortho units. yay!
hang in there ladies! I'm sure it could take a while to get a call. I got day shift (woah!) on 3East which is the ortho/uro/rehab floor. I'm really excited since allnurses has tons of posts under ortho about new grads doing really well in it. Best wi...
Hi tashacorrine and jackie, well I got the phone call! very excited and hoping that you two do as well. They give all the info about unit / shift and follow it up with an email with all the attachments that detail the stuff that needs to be done. Fe...
well, I am hoping for early week because of my other offer but I am sure it will take some time for HR to make all the calls.. I emailed the interviewer last week and she told me that last bit of info about her almost being done with decisions. It mi...
I did my preceptorship on cardiac pcu and loved it too. I am totally just assuming it was a lot of ppl's first choice since getting tele experience as a new grad is so great, but maybe I'm just thinking that way because that's what I think :) but he...
it looks like we chose the same :) I bet cardiac and neuro were a lot of ppl's first choices but couldn't bring myself to choose a "less desirable" unit. I know a nurse on the transplant floor and she loves her unit! I am surprised we are the only 2 ...
I think it went well too, the recruiter was nice and really informative about the program. I had prepared most of the questions so nothing was too shocking although someone had told me there wouldn't be any clinical questions so that caught me a bit ...
Was just called 5 mins ago for an interview on November 15th for general medicine/ortho unit. Thinking I will call back tomorrow since I am supposed to start a job here in Arizona on the 14th! boohoo for me right? but happy to give someone else my in...

I am from the Bay Area and went to school in Arizona and am hoping to return home as soon as I can. I am planning on staying in AZ for at LEAST 1 year of experience ( I start work in 2 weeks, whew) but more likely 2 years. I am worried that 2 years ...

This is where you need to sell yourself! What would you say about yourself in an interview? Discuss your strenghts - high GPA in nursing school, leadership roles, volunteer work, passions. This isn't a "trick question", they are just trying to get to...
Thank you for your responses! I had always assumed that I would train on 3 twelves so when she said 8 hour 5 days a week I wasn't sure if it was normal. Your responses have made me feel confident in the program that has hired me. I will start looking...
Hey everyone, I graduated in May 2011 and received a verbal offer for a new grad position on a telemetry unit in July. Paperwork took forever and I just received the official offer and I am getting set to go in mid November. I am very excited about g...
For a moment I thought I had written a post without realizing it! I graduated in may 2011 and moved to Phoenix to live with my bf (long distance for over a year) and thought it would be "easier" to find a job in Phoenix than my native SF bay area. D...
got the email about references tonight. pretty exciting. I just hope that my references all check their emails and take the time to do the references for me. I would hate to be dropped from consideration due to a professor not completing it. I'm sure...
