Hi everyone

I was placed on the alternate list and would like to apply to a future cohort. To those who got interviews/job offers, what certifications did you have? At the time of applying, I only had my BLS. I am grateful for any info. 

also, congrats to those who got offers!!

I had my ACLS, PALS, and NRP. However, I do feel like learning about interview tactics is way more important than having extra certifications.

Thank you. I obtained two additional certifications (ACLS/NIHSS) since then, but don't have the means for more. I am now extensively revising my personal statement. I hope to land an interview for the OR this next time around. I appreciate your input and congratulations!

Nope once they said that I didn't really care for it anymore. Message me if you're looking for ICU experience! I was offered a new grad ICU position at a teaching level 1 hospital.  They have 4 new grad cohorts year round with unlimited spots. As long as you pass the interview then you're automatically enrolled into it

Hi, I'm a nursing student and I'm really interested in the ICU position. I was looking for a residency opportunity but couldn't find anything so far. Would it be possible for you to share the info with me? Please contact me @ [email protected]. Thank you so much in advance!!

3S Short Stay

Hii just came across your posts. I'm interviewing for 3S and wondering if you had any insights or advice to practice for the interview? and how do you like working there? TYSM!

Hello ladies,
I was selected for an interview for L&D. Please if you interviewed for that position and got hired, is their any advice or insight you can share with me. 
 

Thank you

Hi there! If anyone has any advice for interviews please let us know! Thank you!

[polina11]

My best advice for this, or any, interview for a new grad program is to highlight your willingness to learn, to seek guidance when you don't know something, and to keep your patients safe. As a new grad, you're not expected to know the full answer to many things they might ask. It's OK to admit you don't know something. Say what you *do* know about the topic and how you would get the answer if you were a new grad on the floor (e.g. ask the charge nurse, look at the MAR, search the drug guide, etc). Talk about your work ethic, prioritization, critical thinking skills, etc. Most importantly, SAFETY! All those basics you learned in nursing school. Have examples ready to tell of how you demonstrated these basics in the past, even if it was from an unrelated field or from school assignments/projects.

Thank you! 5S General Medical/ Acuity Adaptable Unit.

Yes, yesterday at 1:15.

Hello! If you don't mind, what type of questions did the unit ask? Any advice? Super nervous!

Hey guys! Did they send all the interviews out for PP and L&D? Still haven't received anything back. 

[Diamondzee1]

I haven't received anything or heard back for L&D, not even a rejection email. I also applied to all the L&D position listed.

Hi everyone! Does anyone who interviewed for Postpartum have any interview advice? Nervous but excited for it! 🙂
