I am a nursing student who will graduate in January 2016. I have been offered a job at a major hospital and it is my dream job. It is an internship for new grads and this opportunity will never be available to me again
problem: after graduation we have to go back for NCLEX review and Hesi exam for 4 days. This is not part of my grade. I have taken practice Hesi at school and scored highest in my class. Starting the same day I would start my new dream job. So far the school is not budging...saying if I don't go I won't be able to take my NCLEX.
i am beside myself that I may not be able to take this job. They are hiring a group of grad nurses to all start at the same time
Can I ask the job if orientation can be a little flexible for 1 week? Or do some of the orientation on the off shift? Or do some of the hospital orientation at home...the paperwork parts?

That is likely more flexible that getting your school to budge on a requirement
If you have a month off between graduation and the review course, you might check if there is another review course during that time period that meets the school's requirements.
If you can provide proof that you completed a review course that is up to their standards the school might accept that. Otherwise you'll have to take their course since they could withhold issuing your degree for failure to meet all the requirements for completing their curriculum.
In regards to a new grad program. I took a job as a new grad in a critical care program that was 5 months of training on the floor and classroom. The first 2 weeks were general hospital orientation then after that was the classroom and ER/ICU stuff. They made us take the nclex and you had to pass in order to work beyond that point. You can have passed the nclex and still be considered a new grad since you have no experience. I'm pretty positive most programs function this way. There is no way they will train you for months and your not a registered nurse that's a liability. Secondly, you seem extremely arrogant. My program was a really good program and there were applicants from all states. They took 12 people out of 300 well qualified applicants and interviewed 75. I now sit in on the panel interviews and the arrogant ones are usually not our first choice, they are hard to train. Unless you personally know someone doing the hiring I wouldn't be so fast to assure yourself a job. I would focus on your review course since its a requirement for your program.
You will fail to meet the requirements if the requirements are to attend this HESI class 1 month later.
In my school, I will get pinned in December, but I have to return in January for a 3 day review course and an ATI exit exam. Only once I pass the exit exam will I be allowed to have my transcript sent to the BON. If I don't do one of these items, I pretty much wasted the last few years of my life.

So so you have switched from plain old rude to passive aggressive. Childishness is unbecoming.
As as far as answering your questions, unless someone is on the specific hiring or recruitment team for you facility it is another am example of this board not being able to answer you question.
The people to ask would be the people responsible for hiring as they would know.
If you want to come and vent about being bummed or upset over the inconvenience of your review course or whatever then that is one thing. But you continue to repeat yourself and ask questions no one here can answer.
I get it. You want this job. It's your dream. I would be upset too if this happened to me. But taking it out on people who can't answer your question for you is not the way to go about it.
I havent asked any more questions. Its all figured out. Here is the deal...if someone doesnt have an answer or suggestion then just leave the post alone. As far as ppl telling me that i have to meet requirements or i wont be cleared to take boards...that is obvious and assinine. Also i was being told that when i get my RN after passing boards...that too is obvious. If you are hired for a job before you take boards your title is GN-graduate nuse. After you pass boards you are an RN. I dont know why anyone is arguing that fact. Not saying it was you. Im done and i did get a few good suggestions...for the most part ppl were saying you have to do your requirements or you will have wasted nsg school cause you didnt take boards. Never had any intention of that. Its all good. I talked to recruiter and dean and they are working it out but it wasnt simple by any means. I would delete all this nonsense if i could
