I got the job and start next week. I must say I am pleasantly surprised how big this place is. Yes the benefits are awesome. Union for RNs is NYSNA. I am on the night shift...the differential is 10% of whatever your base salary is depending on the position plus they give an extra 1000 for BSN. I will be getting close to $87,000. Since I plan on doing my Masters in gerontology, (or nursing management with a focus on adult population) I will probably stick around. There's a lot of opportunity for research there pertaining to aging adults.
About the interview, I was very relaxed because the she was very pleasant. She did throw a number of questions at me. Initially she asked me how was my night and told her I worked. Then she asked how was it so I mentioned I had to send someone to the hospital because of chest pain....she said good the interview has just started. She used that opportunity to find out how I handled the situation. Also asked about abuse ...what is my knowledge of it. If I found another co-worker taking money from a patient's bag or a nurse stealing narcotics how would I handle those situations. She said she liked the way I answered all my questions. She then sent me to HR to do a pharmacology exam (it was not that easy). They said they will call me within a week. Got a call 1hr after I got home for an offer. Some people may think that's not enough money, but to me it is a lot and I am so thankful.
Congrats on your job offer! Do they hire new grads? I'm obtaining my adn right now and fear I won't be able to get a job anywhere. 87k is not bad at all! BTW I just finished my first clinical rotation and doing peds/med surg for the fall semester. Do you know if places will hire me as a CNA considering I completed my first clinical rotation? I would like to get some experience until I graduate next year. Congrats again!
