  1. St. Rose New Grad Residency Sept. 2013

    Hi there. Interviews are usually from a panel of nurses. In my case, I had 2 because the nursing manager had to be elsewhere. Dress professionally, be confident, and think about the questions asked before answering them. I can't exactly remember the ...
  2. St. Rose New Grad Residency Sept. 2013

  3. Dont ever want to do critical care ... Afraid of it?

    I thought the next step up is PCU or IMC.... Acuity is higher than med-surg yet lower than ICU. Going straight to ICU will probably overwhelm you. I am in IMC and let me tell you, some days I feel like the unit should be called ICU. The difference is...

  5. What da heck is a Nurse Career Battery test?

    This "NCB" test is so stupid. I took it for an awesome new grad residency position and passed. However, I also took the same exact test for another hospital position and failed, which eliminated my chances of applying to over 10 hospitals in the city...
  6. Just Got Denied at VA for New Grad Program

    Being a veteran means nothing to the VA. I applied for the VALOR program with them as a nursing student and didn't get selected either. I have 7 years of active military experience in the USMC and I am also a war vet. Having a military background (ve...
  7. Failed NCLEX at 1st attempt and am devastated!

    Hi. I'm sorry to hear that you didn't pass. My advice is to pick ONE NCLEX source and master that front to back. Dedicate about 2 hours a day to focus on studying without any distractions and read all the rationales, even if the answer you chose was ...
  8. Part time patient sitters, hrs/wk, benefits?

    I was a per-diem sitter for 3 years (12hr/day shift) while going to nursing school. We do have full time sitters at our hospital (county). It is the easiest job ever and perfect for nursing students. I was able to get a lot of studying done (unless I...
  9. How long did it take you to land your first job?

    I'm from Las Vegas. Graduated May 11 and passed NCLEX June 12. Interviewed for New Grad residency on July 17th and got offered position the same day. But..... I have also applied and received rejection letters for about 20 other positions before land...
  10. St. Rose New Grad Residency Sept. 2013

    Did you get your official offer letter yet? I'm still waiting on it. The verbal offer just feels surreal right now and I can't trust it until I see it on paper. Lol
  11. St. Rose New Grad Residency Sept. 2013

    Yeah I agree. I was only there for 1 interview and had to wait 2 hours for it. I had a lot of anxiety watching people come and go. Soooo many people had two interviews, which made me feel kind of nervous because that doubles their chances of being se...
  12. St. Rose New Grad Residency Sept. 2013

    Got the call around 3:30 today... Soooooooo excited to start working!!!!
  13. St. Rose New Grad Residency Sept. 2013

    Just had interview today. Lots of new grads. I had a panel of two nurses and both were extremely nice! Of course I felt interview went well but it all comes down to who they decide to choose. They said they will be making selections shortly after all...
  14. Better 1st job: Summerlin or St. Rose?

    Congrats on getting THREE interviews! I am also a new grad and have been dealt with a lot of rejection letters too. I have my own rejection email folder in my gmail account.. lol I am also interviewing next week for St. Rose IMC-Siena team. Fingers c...
  15. St. Rose New Grad Residency Sept. 2013

    They say bring 1 professional and 1 personal reference. Do you think it would hurt to bring more than 2? I don't want to overdue it. Lol... Also, they say interviews begin at 8:30. Are they just interviewing us in the order we arrive or waiting for g...
