I interviewed (I'm from the midwest) -- their relocation package is not so great (2 weeks gross salary for the move). That'll barely pay for the tickets to fly there.

Hi Ragamuffin, I was curious as to what kinds of things they asked during your interview and what you think made you a stand out candidate for the new grad program. Also, how are you liking it so far? Thanks!

Thanks for all of the responses. I am the one who started this post. I ended up taking the position in the ICU and it was the worst assignment I have ever taken. I floated 50% the time to "step-down." And because most of the nurses were new, I was the one with the most experience. It was horrible. They are more focused on "protocols" then actual patient care. For example, I had a patient I was admitting for resp distress. The nurses were more concerned about rolling the pt over to obtain a VRE swab and take pictures of there wounds then taking care of there resp distress. That isn't the priority when admitting a critically ill patient. The free floating charge nurse never helped. She only sat at the computer and audited charts all night. The doctors on nights were also horrible. I would never step foot in that hospital. They have money and that's why they have a good rep. I did meet some awesome people and made what I could of it. Also, the pay was great! I am not usually a negative person and can make due anywhere.
I ended up going to Kaiser on Sunset in the ICU afterwards and enjoyed it.
