i am so excited! 5 months after passing the nclex-rn, 49 online applications (locally and out of state), and 48 rejection emails/letters, i finally was contacted on friday dec 10 for an interview this morning at 8.30am for an internship beginning in january 2011. it was a panel interview, and i wasn't asked but maybe 2-3 behavioral type questions, the rest were just the usual interview questions. i felt the interview went well overall, but looking back i know i could have answered some of the questions more better. later in the day i wrote personal thank you cards and delivered them to the hospital. they are making a decision with the applicants by this thursday, and we will be contacted on friday if we are selected. i am so nervous, i hope i can make it till then. this will be a long week. thank you allnurses.com. i researched so many interview threads here and felt somewhat positive after my interview today. i'm praying for a phonecall and hope it all works out! :)
yes its friday, and we have been waiting all day! i called today and was told that due to some last minute finalizations all of the selected applicants selected will be notified this coming tuesday dec 21!! i am keeping my fingers crossed for good news and will post as soon as i hear something! i hope for the best for everyone here as well! :)
Good luck to all...week b4 last I had 3 seperate interviews with 3 companies, nothing yet, today I had an interview with VA...hopefully we will all get some very good news for the holidays.
FYI - everyone should try their local public health departments (state job); also your state psych facility and the VA - they all hire new grads...just still waiting on my call - but I am really hoping for VA..
update: i received the call today and was offered the job in the newborn nursery!! :) i am so excited!! the newborn nursery is a separate unit from postpartum, but once we are trained fully in the nursery, we are also cross-trained on postpartum to be floated there when necessary!! right now i will mainly be in the nursery!! i am soo happy!! this has been such a long time in the making, but i give 200% in whatever i do, and i know i can do this!! :) thank you everyone for the well wishes, positive thoughts and prayers!!
