I have the same question about this

I work as a CNE on a GI Oncology unit at Hopkins. What do you want to know? :)

I have a couple of questions. How do you like working there ? How was the interview experience ? How long did it take for you to hear that you got the job ?

My situation was a little different. I go to Hopkins nursing school and I had a clinical rotation on the unit. The nurse manager asked me if I wanted to work there and gave me the requisition number and all that. So she facilitated the process and it only took a few days to hear back. The interview was very low-key since I already knew they wanted me. I have heard from other CNEs that their interviews were low-key though as well. I don't really remember anything about it to be honest except it wasn't stressful at all. After that I attended a fast-track version of orientation and started on my unit. What type of unit do you want to be on? Overall, it has been a very positive experience. I have learned a lot and am easily getting job interviews (I graduate nursing school in December).

I picked surgery and icu! I wanted ob but I'm not sure about them letting CNE work on that unit

Thank you for the info! I had my interview friday and I think it went great. You're right they are very low-key. I did about two hours of share time and LOVED the unit. Hopefully I will hear from them next week! I already declined MDs offer so it looks like I'll be at Hopkins if i get the job. I'm on weinberg 5C and 5D? I'm honestly still confused about all the units and floors in the Weinberg building lol

Did you get it?? I hope so! I just started as a CNE in the ED there at the beginning of the year. I'm learning a ton!
