Are most of you guys already scheduled for shifts during September and October? Do your units schedule in 4 week blocks? Do your units require you to work AM shifts for 2 weeks and then PM the next 2? Are you required to work every other weekend? These are just "out of curiosity" type questions. I am always interested in how different places do that type of thing? 

Any thoughts on whether charge experience is valued at CWRU? Or for that matter, at other schools? 

I love asking questions! 

We do 6 week schedules. I am currently scheduled half way through October. I am just going to have to adjust my schedules and trade to make it all work. We do 6 week rotations of days and nights for the rotators. I am straight dayshift though. 
And charge is probably good on your cv, but I would imagine a large number of candidates are charge nurses on their units. Not sure, just a guess.

They sent out an email to some candidates last week apologizing for the delay & that the commission will finish the review this week & we should hear something soon.  Anyone here applied to Akron?

[SuccinylColace]

@IcuRNx our charge nurses all have a minimum of 5 years of experience. So I am not a charge nurse but will likely be training for charge soon

For logistical reasons I truly hope invites go out tomorrow so that if I get one I can work on switching shifts with another nurse if need be. Even trades have to be done a certain number of days ahead of time. I don't know if they allow you to pick from multiple time slots and what dates those slots fall on 

[NoOrdinaryICU]

The anticipation....  I’m gonna be checking my email q30min!  Haha

[NoOrdinaryICU]

So another day/week has gone by & still haven’t heard from them.  I wonder what’s taking them so long.  Oh well, time to enjoy the holiday weekend!

Key phrase there is, "holiday weekend." I don't think they are in session on Monday due to the holiday. Maybe interviews will be in Oct.? That way scheduling won't be as tough. I'm pretty sure it is not recommended to show up after working the last of 5 night shifts.? ?

I'm guessing no news still?

No news as of yet .

[SuccinylColace]

Haven't heard anything since the end of August when we got the email apologizing for the delay in application status updates. I think that last email was sent out 3 weeks ago

[Calvin7392]

Same. It’s rather frustrating . Hope they respond by end of week so we can coordinate our work schedules .

My brother received a denial letter today.  He emailed them to ask for details of the decision.  I haven't heard anything.  He has 5yr ICU experience, working in Metro, GPA 3.5, undergrad from Youngstown.  I have 2yr ICU experience, working at CCF, GPA 3.6,, undergrad from Case.
