UVA New Grad RN 2012 - Page 2

tonik3264, I have a phone interview with UVA on 3/15/12 and would greatly appreciate any advice or tips you can share!

that's great, good for you!

advice: just be yourself, be natural. be very very excited to be working at uva. kiss their butts, tell them it's your dream job. does that help? i'm happy to elaborate. just be very energetic, articulate and totally thrilled to be on the phone with them.

Thank you! How did you feel about the questions they asked?

i was hired into the picu, so i had a pretty good idea the types of things they would ask me and i was ready. all psycho social stuff, nothing technical. why do you want to work in the picu, pediatrics. what about your background makes you a good fit for it.
they want to make sure you have a good idea what you're getting into, and that you're excited about it.

what unit are you interviewing for? maybe i can help there. it's today yes? write me at tkistner@gmail.com and i'll give you my phone number if you want to talk beforehand.

good luck!
toni

Hi,

Where should I upload my "essay identifying areas of interest" for the UVA application process?

Thanks,
Anna

Is it a hard process to get a job as a novice nurse at UVA after graduation? Do they favor MSN's over RN's?

It's hard to get a job anywhere these days as a new grad.

Really? IT seems like I see nurse job openings all the time in the papers etc...

Do they say they will except new grads?
