Hey luvmom, how'd your interview go? Did you accept a position? I'm planning on flying up there in March to interview, but I'm kind of torn on what floors I want to apply to. Which did you apply to? Have you visited the hospital? I'm from out of state and won't even be setting foot in the place until March. Any help would be great! (maybe you haven't had your interview yet. I just noticed your post is only a week or so old). Thanks!

I have several friends from nursing school that started at Salem as new grads... One year later, and they are all still there... They have enjoyed the experience, and have been treated very well. The only downside is the commute from Portland...

Hi jere2012!

I would love to hear your input on the Rn internship! I have an interview on Monday and I am getting so paranoid already. I will be interviewed by 4 nursing managers. Can you help me out and tell me if the interviewing process is difficult? Do they ask basically the same type of questions?...weaknesses, strengths, etc? What should I mainly focus on or brush up on? As you can tell I am sooo anxious about this. I'm more nervous with the interview than the actual program itself! How long is the program? And how are the staff in Salem? Would love some advice!!!
