New grad programs that do video interviews

[JJ1994]

Hi everyone

im getting ready to graduate in December and I am really trying to land a nicu or nursery job. I have gotten some job offers in my area but they are for adult med/surg. I really hate adult med/surg so I'm hoping I can get something else. Im willing to move anywhere after graduation (and I mean literally anywhere if it means a job working with infants). However, I don't have the time or money to go to a bunch of out of state interviews. I was hoping people could post hospitals that they know do video interviews. I've found a few but it's been really hard since its not usually readily advertised.

Sorry you haven't gotten a better response rate. I'm sure that there may be employers willing to do virtual interviews, but they would most likely to be in areas that have a shortage of new grads in their immediate area. That's certainly not the case for most metropolitan areas where there aren't enough new grad jobs.

Something to consider-- working in a true rural hospital - one that's too small to have separate clinical 'departments' - means that nurses have to function as generalists. In this type of setting, you'd have an opportunity to work with all ages in all areas. That type of experience is very valuable in terms of future career options.
