1. ICU interview

   KellyRN2011 replied to KellyRN2011's topic in MICU

   It was a hospital in Virginia. It was only 150 beds, and didn't accept severe cardiac patients/balloon pumps. I figure I won't really get the best ICU experience there. They interviewed me for both the ICU/PCU unit, and the ER. They said I would ...

2. ICU interview

   KellyRN2011 replied to KellyRN2011's topic in MICU

   It went well, and I think they may offer me a position, but I'm not sure I'm going to take it. The town is 4 hours from where I am now, and I was going to relocate, but I absolutely hate the town. It's extremely small and rundown. Thankfully, I ha...

   Thank you for the advice! I'm trying to research questions and brainstorm answers, so I won't respond with "uhhh...." when they ask. Problem is the interview is tomorrow (just found out today), and I don't feel I have enough time to prepare for thi...

8. How to get a NICU job?

   KellyRN2011 posted a topic in NICU

   Can anyone give me advice on how to break into NICU nursing? I currently work at a LTC/rehab center, as it is hard for new grads to get a hospital job in my city. My dream has always been to work in the NICU though. However, every time I see a jo...

9. LTC to NICU?

   KellyRN2011 posted a topic in Job Hunt

   Hi! Just looking for some advice. I'm a new grad currently working at a long term care/rehab center full time. I'm honestly just not loving it. The pay is wonderful, benefits are great, I'm gaining experience and I do love the residents, but I nev...

10. First job at a LTC facility, too much responsibility?

    KellyRN2011 posted a topic in New Nurse

    I recently got my first nursing job at a LTC/SNF. When I interviewed, they said it was a one day a week position. I said fine, because I had no other offers, and I figured I may be able to get full-time eventually. When I went for orientation, it ...
