2. My ATT is not coming and I don't know what to do :(

   natchan23 replied to wifeandmomoftwo's topic in General Nursing

   What state are you in? I had a lot of trouble calling the BON in WA state but did some homework and hunted down some numbers. Try just calling the general number and asking for who handles the ATT. If you always get a voicemail then ask for someone e...

   natchan23 replied to natchan23's topic in Washington DC

   I did and I'm so nervous about finding a place in time and how I will like living in the east coast. I have a friend over there looking for me but he's a guy so safety isn't as much of a concern for him I think? Maybe I'm overly nervous about safety ...

4. July Washington Hospital Center RN Residency

   natchan23 replied to GuatericanNurse's topic in Washington DC

   I was wondering what the July WHC RN residency folks think about the program, hospital, area, etc. Do you like working there? Is the staff generally happy? Is the patient load reasonable? Was it hard to find housing? I was just offered a position for...

   Wow! I don't think I ever heard about the 18 month commitment. That freaks me out! I just heard that I got it officially today :) I was at the airport and didn't hear my phone but got the voicemail. Did they tell either of you what unit you're on? I ...

   natchan23 replied to RedXIII_'s topic in General Students

   I also felt stupid talking to the mannequins but just decided to bite the bullet and do it when being taped or observed by profs! Just remember that you aren't the only one feeling dumb about it. Everyone does and you gotta do what you gotta do, righ...

8. If new grads can't find jobs in hospitals...What about Home care ?

   natchan23 replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in General Nursing

   In my senior synthesis class a grad from June 2009 (when the job market was worse than it is now I heard) had an alumni panel come talk to us before graduation. One alum talked about how frustrated she was about not finding a job so did home healthca...

    natchan23 replied to natchan23's topic in Washington DC

    Thanks!!! The interview itself wasn't bad at all. In fact, I found it was surprisingly easy -- even the clinical questions. Everyone is interviewed basically at the same time, just spread around the auditorium. There were about 12 people with me on m...

    natchan23 replied to natchan23's topic in Washington DC

    Thanks! It went really well. Everyone was really nice and they said I can just send in letters whenever. There were about 12 other applicants there yesterday. The manager I spoke with said she'd tell them to definitely hire me. We had a great chat an...

    natchan23 replied to natchan23's topic in Washington DC

    I tried calling the nurse recruiters but it went straight to voicemail... I hear that this hospital isn't very good at returning calls so I didn't leave a message but will keep calling. I'm just wondering if it's worth it to fly across the country fo...

    natchan23 replied to natchan23's topic in Washington DC

    Thank you 0402 for the info! I'm glad to hear they are understanding. I wonder why my confirmation email didn't say that? I didn't even get a call but my email said that it was a pleasure to chat with me that day... Since it was impersonal I was wond...
