I will be graduating from nursing school on December 10th, doing the Hurst review the following week, studying myself silly for a couple of weeks, and taking the NCLEX as close to New Year's as possible.
My first job interview was for the Cape Fear Valley Hospital nurse residency program and I got it. It seems like an awesome program, but I was wondering if anyone had personal experience with it and could tell me what to expect?
Also I'm really nervous about the NCLEX so wish me luck, ya'll!!!

Amanda,
Did you start yet? I am applying for the med-surg residency and wanted to know how you were doing. Also after the residency what unit did you go to? Did you get a choice or did they just stick you somewhere? I definatley don't want to accept and then not have a choice as to where I work. I applied for an overnight shift in the Women's Pavillion and the recruiter contacted me stating that the unit does not take new grads and that I need to apply for a residency program. If anyone else has any insight please respond! Thanks

I just submitted my application for this program starting Feb. I had a great conversion with the recruiter and she sent me the "packet" to fill out and return. It sounded positive that I may get an interview so fingers crossed. How was the interview process for you guys and do did you feel like the program was a good choice?
