I am a prospective May 2017 new grad from an ASN program. I recently had a phone interview with a nurse recruiter at a local hospital for a new grad residency. She set up interviews with 3 nurse managers with available positions. None of these floors are my top three choices, so I was looking for advice and input about these kind of floors in general. The first floor is a med surg/oncology floor. The second floor is a cardiac step down and the third is telemetry.
