Need Some Good JuJu!

Published

Specializes in Pediatrics.

Hi All!

I'm a 2009 'New' Grad struggling to stay optimistic! I've been volunteering with Child-Life since October and found out yesterday from the Nurse Manager that there are 3 FT nurses leaving the peds unit in the next month or two. She came to tell me personally that I should look out for the RN posting on the HR website and apply! :yeah: Well, yesterday it was posted and I applied that night! I'm on pins and needles waiting for the call for an interview..This opportunity would be sooOoOOo amazing! :redbeathe :redpinkhe :redbeathe

The thought of actually being able to start my career/life is overwhelming, but I'm also trying to not get my hopes up too much because it'll be a heartbreaker if it doesn't work out..

Anywho, just sending out a plea for some good juju! (If you have any left - I know it's rough out there for us new grads)

If you need some juju too, post it here, and I'll whatever I have left along :)

If you don't mind me asking what hospital is this?

Also, how did you get involved in volunteering with Child-Life. It sounds like it would be a good thing to do while job hunting..

GOOD LUCK by the way. I hope you hear back soon.

:yeah:Interview update: As far as I can tell, it went well! It was kind of strange 'cause they didn't really ask me any questions except 'Why did I move to New Orleans from Boston/How long am I going to stay here?' and 'Have you only been applying for peds nursing positions?' They're like we already know you, so we don't need to ask you a lot of questions. I asked everything else from orientation to rn retention to uniforms. I made sure I talked about my love for teaching and learning, and how I'm taking PALS next week..everything I could think of. My cheeks hurt from smiling so much! :D I reallllllly hope I get it!

I am going to have to be patient though. The unit director is going on vacation next week and she still has more interviews after that, so I have at least two weeks of holding my breath in front of me.. :uhoh3:
