George Washington Hospital New Grads...?

Published

GWU has no info on their new grad program on their page (I'm not even sure if they have one). I tried contacting the nurse recruitment, but haven't heard anything back. Does anyone have any info on them, or an alternate contact? Thanks.

do you have to send in references and transcripts first? and then did you get rejected?

no, just an online application, no transcripts, no references..

After you submitted your application did it ask you questions about what degree you will graduate with, how many critical care clinical hours you have, etc?

I received that message after I submitted my application the first time because it asked if I would have a BSN when I graduated and I put "no" because I will actually have an MS....so I had to go back through and apply again for another position and say that I would have a BSN because the lowest degree that GWUH will hire, and putting MS is not an option in the drop down box.

I would contact their nurse recruiter directly if you have further problems. She is pretty good about getting back to people-at least that has been my experience.

Yes,

I am almost 100% sure that is what weeded me out. I haven't taken the NCLEX yet, I will have between 100-120 hrs of CC experience, but I will have a Bachelors. I emailed her and am just waiting for a response. Hopefully she will reconsider.

What position did you apply for?

I initially applied for the ICU but during my phone interview was told that I needed a lot of experience to be considered for that (either working as a tech or prior ICU nursing experience since I am a new grad-they like new grads to have a year or two of med/surg before transitioning to the ICU) so I was considered for the Cardiovascular Center Unit instead. I haven't taken the NCLEX yet but I was offered a job by the director of nursing for that unit on the day I went in for the interview.

I don't think it matters that you haven't taken the NCLEX yet.

look on the left hand side, there's a part that says employment, go to search jobs online and look for the positions which say RN internship and apply there.

Did they send you an email asking for a transcript/references? I submitted my application but haven't had any follow up.

about a week later, the nurse recruiter emailed to send transcripts and references and then will follow up with a phone or on-site interview if they are still interested
