Has anyone interviewed? What unit are you interested in?

What attracted you to Duke?

I am going feb 29 for interview/shadow for a med surg unit!

[Royal_RN, BSN, RN]

Very nice. Best of luck!

I interviewed/shadowed in January and really enjoyed the whole experience, especially the shadow component. I would think of some questions not only for the interview, but also for the floor nurses. The nurse I shadowed was very open and I wish I prepared a couple more questions for her.

[JessK]

Would it be okay if I messaged you? Just have a few questions about it!

[Royal_RN, BSN, RN]

Feel free to ask. I will try to help as much as I can, but I think we both are technically new here, so I don't know if PM will work.

That’s amazing!! I'm also from New York! I'm about 45 minutes outside of NYC. How long did it take for them to offer you the job after your interview? I interviewed for a general medicine unit

I'm from Long Island. So I did their "New to the OR Event". It was like a hiring event with all the different OR specialites and about 30 candidates looking to work at Duke. The event was so cool meeting with different nurse managers. They got back to us to two weeks after the interview. I found out last week and accepted the postion over the phone. I am now waiting for an email with the offer and how to proceed next. I'm so scared I am not going to get this email even though I accepted LOL. I just want to sign on a dotted line and make it offical so I can really celebrate

They called yesterday and offered me the job! I will be starting in July or August

Hello everyone. Congrats to everyone who has received an offer.

I interviewed/shadowed in the CTICU last Sunday. I was told I would hear back by Tuesday (today), but I have yet to get a phone call or email.

Has anybody received reaction or acceptance notices for the CTICU?

That's wonderful. How many days after your interview did you hear back from them? Did they contact you via telephone or email?

[Royal_RN, BSN, RN]

I interviewed in January and actually received my offer by email from the recruiter by the end of the same day.

I did not apply to the CTICU however, so every unit may do things differently. Also, based on what I've seen, people receive offers within a variety of timelines...some right away like me, and others received them after a few weeks. I'd imagine the CTICU is in high demand and there are more applicants to interview and thus the process just requires more time, perhaps leading to a longer wait time.
