Hey! I was wondering how you got the new grad job? I recently passed my NCLEX and I find it hard to get interviews or call backs from hospitals and rehab centers
I did pretty much the same thing. But I also created a nice packet with a cover letter, resume and letters of rec nicely put together in a large envelope and mailed them to different hospital's hiring departments. It actually got the attention of a few hospitals and I got a couple interviews out of it. I mentioned that I applied online as well (I didn't want to seem computer illiterate) but I think the effort meant a lot to certain recruiters and got their attention. They see internet apps all the time but no one sends mail anymore. With that, it's always nice to send a thank you email AND a thank you card via snail mail after a good interview. It will set you apart from other candidates. But overall I sent out probably 150 applications online before I got my first job.
Good luck!!

Hello all,
I am interested in knowing how much new grads make at Northshore LIJ? (base as well as night differential) Also how much do new grads make during their fellowship? is it the same?
