1. OR Interview: Questions for interviewer & interviewee

   Guest463066 replied to Winterblue09's topic in Operating Room

   I worked as a care partner for 2 years in the same OR I ended up accepting an internship position in. The manager actually told me that he preferred it when applicants had fewer questions. His opinion was that more questions mean you didn't do your h...

2. Call pay

   Guest463066 replied to SandraCVRN's topic in Operating Room

   Central Virginia....we get $5 per hour of call. Once we get called in it is regular pay, unless we are in overtime or night/weekend pay. If we do get called in and they don't end up needing us or are there less than 2 hours, we get paid automatically...

5. Sentara hiring process?

   Guest463066 replied to bisson's topic in Virginia

   My mom works for Sentara and has told me that their HR department is not the best in terms of communication turnover. You should probably shoot the nurse recruiter an e-mail to get your name fresh in their minds.

6. confused about MCI accreditation

   Guest463066 replied to mg9004's topic in Virginia

   Do not go to MCI. As of 2-3 months ago they are no longer accredited. Even though you can still sit for the NCLEX after graduation, you will NOT be able to continue your education any further. So if you eventually want your bachelors, your credits wi...

    I have my rec letters already, so that's one thing off my plate. OH...I know this is kind of a "duh" thing, but make sure you ask people that you are 100% sure will write you a good letter. One of my friends, who is also applying asked her Nurse Mana...

    I'm applying for the critical care track, but I've heard that it is the most competitive....it makes me nervous because I feel like my resume is unremarkable. How important do y'all think volunteer work is? Do you think if we have a lot of work hours...
