Hello.
I recently applied for a new grad position at NYP and I got an email saying my app is currently "being considered" for the new grad opportunity and they will "contact me within the next 2 weeks regarding next step/status etc".
Does that mean I have a chance to land an interview, or is it what everyone gets after they apply?
It was not a computer generated email.....but an email from an actual person......
Any feedbacks will be greatly appreciated! Thank you :)
Sure you can PM if you want also:) First you will meet with a nurse recruiter if you didn't already do that. Typical behavioral interview questions.. "Tell me about yourself..." Why NYP? + some scenario questions. Then the Patient Care Coordinator (NM) will meet with you but that all depends on the unit.. if peds look up peds scenarios.. for med/surg I looked up past patient care plans and looked up difficult interview questions. KEEP ME POSTED~!! This is an exciting time for all of us! :)
last place I was at it was supposed to be 6 months and it became 1.5 months but that was in CTICU which is a whole 'nother ball game. I honestly don't think the amount of time is as important as the will for the nurses to TEACH. If you have a 6 month orientation and your preceptor isnt a good teacher or you guys dont click it is worthless. I think there are units/hospitals that are accepting of new grads and some that simply are not.
I agree that 6 weeks seems kinda short, especially in a float-like position. But I also think if at the end of that time period, you could ask for another week or two. I'd be happy to get anything at this point and because NYP is such a good facility, they're not just going to throw people out there unprepared, at least I hope not.
