Got job offer in ICU!!!

Published

Holy crap!!!!! I work as a CNA in the neuro/trauma unit while going to school. A few weeks back they let me know that they have no open positions on my floor. I graduate March 1st...or this Tuesday. My real dream is to be either an ER or ICU nurse. Jobs in Denver are really tough right now, especially new grad positions. I've spoken to a few of the ICU nurses in the past, and they have all said how hard it is to get into this ICU, and that they don't hire new grads. I even floated there one day, and that's what all the nurses said. So the other day I just called up the hiring manager and asked her directly. To my surprise she said that they do hire a couple of new grads each year. After telling her a little about my background she said I fit the perfect new grad profile! So after a few emails back and forth we set up an interview for today. Going into the interview I honestly did not expect them to actually offer me a position on the spot, but that is exactly what they did!!!!!!!! They have an awesome yet intense orientation program and I am just so freaking excited I can't believe it! :yeah:

Now all I have to do is pass the freaking NCLEX! I sure hope it doesn't take long to get my Auth To Test.
