Hey Everyone! I accepted a job offer!

Published

Specializes in Psych, LTC, Acute Care.

Well I went on a interview today at Wake Medical Center and got offered a fulltime postion working on a neuroscience floor. This hospital is so nice and its a 804 bed level 1 trauma center. They have a zillion opportunites to learn and grow and they were just named the 1 of 2 hospital in the state with the highest nurses satisfation rate.This hospital recieved 98,000 applications last year and its super competative to get in. I will be working three 12's 7p-7a and No Weekends! I will be precepted for 3 months and the patient ratio is 1:4 on good days and 1:5 or 6 on the worst days ever. I cannot tell you all how happy and scared I am right now! Thanks for listening.

Good for you! :nurse: I remember being so frighten of the Neuro floor when I did my clinicals. But after a while came to appreciate it. You really have to have a good (and strong) heart to work on such a floor so I know you'll do an excellent job :yelclap:

Now I am a witness that its a bunch of bull about EC grads not finding hospital jobs in NC! My friend who went through the program with me just got a job at a smaller hospital too. So lets squash that urban legend!!!!

The manager was so into the EC program. She said it was great that I passed the clinicals. She said that there was a nurse on the unit who has failed it 2 times. She said that going through the program showed my willingness to learn. I felt so proud of myself!
