North Shore LIJ ED/NICU/PICU Fellowship 2013

Nurse_sian · May 27, 2013

Hi asat,
Yes it's all peds! I wished they could mix peds and adults but I'm pretty sure the whole fellowship is geared towards peds only.
Kemifair - like nurse_sian said, I don't think you can apply for this around anymore, but keep your eyes open for the next to come.

Really? When I spoke to the managers they told me that it's NICU, PEDS and ED and once you start working they can float either of the 3 units, depending on how busy it is. ED is different ages I believe so I guess we get a little of everything!

LIJ has two different ED: Adult and pediatrics (Cohen's Children Hospital)!

Hmmm...weird because the manager I spoke to from ED was definitely in peds! All the questions they asked me were all about peds, why peds blah...blah. Being a children hospital I assumed they also have their own ED and the ED I toured after my interview was definitely peds and not adult. I would actually prefer if it was mixed because it would be more interesting.

I think she said we take up to ages 30 for ED. Hopefully we get a mix of both adults and peds cause then that would be a great experience!

I have a friend that is an RN at Cohen Children's Hospital in the pediatric ED. Although it is peds, adults do come in.

I just interviewed, it went well. I just met the recruiter lady. She asked me why nursing, strengths, weaknesses, the most critical patient I've had and a head to toe assessment on them and a time when I went above and beyond for a patient. Overall it was very good. What sucks is that I'm a new grad with no nclex date yet, so they are apprehensive to hire people in my situation. She said to call her as soon as I have a date.

Congratulations teddygraham!!

Wow...I can't believe they asked you for head to toe assessment! Did you meet with panel from ED, PICU and NICU?

How did u get through I have been trying since march. I have my license and everything and they never call me.

teddygraham · May 29, 2013

I didn't meet the panel, but they said to call as soon as I have a board date to "take the next steps".

Rnmj you already have your license right?

rnmj · May 29, 2013

Yes, I graduated in January and got my license in February. I don't think it should be a problem though if you can get a date for exam and/or temporary permit no? It would be weird if they even waste their time interviewing new graduates, who still don't have a license and then don't even consider them for the position!

Are you currently waiting for your ATT?

When you guys applied, did you leave your documents in a doc form or a pdf form? I left my resume and cover letter in PDF form, but I feel as if they weren't able to open it...

rnmj · May 29, 2013

I always do PDF and I don't think they had any problems opening it.
