Got The Job!!!!!!!

I got the phone call this morning :yeah: The Manager had the Nurse Recruiter call me with the offer for an RN position,full-time, 3p-11p on NICU. I'm am SOOOOOOOOOO happy. After months of not even getting interviews, I apply, get the interview, and get the job in less than a week :yeah:. Orientation doesn't start until September 15th and I already know I will work day shift for awhile with a preceptor before moving to "my" shift with another preceptor. Unit orientation, I was told, doesn't have a exact time limit. I do know that the day shift part will be several weeks, I think, since they want me to see what does go on during the day (tests, procedures, c-section admits, etc). Probably would get to hang out with the delivery team, who knows...I'll ask.

I am so excited. I think I impressed them by knowing something of what they do (thanks to this forum :bow:). And, I was willing to work 3p-11p. A lot of people don't like that shift, it's not my favorite but I'll work it. Its the 7a-3p shift that's going to kill me LOL, I am SO NOT a morning person :yawn:

Now to study, study, study for the NCLEX so I can pass the first time.

Thank you ALL for your encouragement. :bow:

I've worked it before, I just love 7p-7a much better. Hard to do anything extracurricular on 3p-11p but I'll manage

I'm just amazed on how fast the job offer came. I interviewed on Friday and actually got the phone call on Monday. But since I wasn't home and had my cell phone off while at another interview, I missed it. I have another interview on Friday I need to cancel, but the lady doing the scheduling hasn't returned my phone call yet.

I do want to get at least one book to start preparing since I am essentially going from med/surg to NICU, though going from LPN to RN is going to be just as big a transition :eek:

It's going to be scary for awhile I think as I've barely taken care of well babies, let alone sick ones. I just need to remember this is totally new, and I'm not expected to know anything.
