Hi Deepa,

Hope my response isn't too late. I managed to find something in the end. I would suggest looking at the tourist rentals first, they are pretty decent month to month except they kick you out in the summer months and up the rate for tourists. You can maybe do that until you can find a more permanent apartment. When are you starting orientation?

Hi pryo,

Thank you for the reply. In the begning I rented some tourist place but later I found some good place. Thankyou for the response.

Deepa,

First off, thank you to everyone who offered great advise in this thread! My second interview with Bassett is this Friday via Skype with 4 different nursing managers. It's a 2 hour interview and I'm preparing as much as I can, but need some advise! What type of questions were you asked during the second interview? Any advise you have is so incredibly appreciated!

[deepa37]

Congratulation ,

mine interview was personal not Skype and the question were very formal. It was less likely interview. Don't be nervous and best of luck!!!

Hi did u ever take the position at basset Medical and how is it going. patient/nurse ratio?

[Nveesee]

I took the position in the OR and it's going well! I'm not sure what the patient to nurse ratio is because I'm not working on the floor. Are you interviewing for a position here? If so, best of luck! :-)

[LeLeRN2b]

Yes. I will be working night shift on the surgical unit. I preferred the OR but didn't get an offer there. Thank you so much for the reply

Good morning everyone,

I just got a phone interview with Bassett Healthcare this morning and they said they will set me up for an appointment to go to Cooperstown for an in person interview. They also told me that they are offering an OR Nurse Residency since I would like to start in an OR environment. Has anyone been to Bassett's OR Residency or were the other heres that were hired just hired as Regular OR Nurse and not on the OR Nurse Residency? Anyone had any experience on this?
