Pitt Country Hospital in Greenville, NC (Vidant Medical Center) unit reviews

U.S.A. North Carolina

Published

I am trying to decided between a few units at Pitt County Memorial Hospital. I have shadowed on both the MICU and SICU and I have NO idea how to choose!!! Does anyone from PCMH have any experience on or with these units that they can share?

Congrats!!! Are you starting in June because you are still in school or haven't taken NCLEX yet? They said if I am offered the position I will be starting in April....I graduated in December and I passed NCLEX in feb.

Nope, its because that's how long it's probably going to take to get packed up, find a place to live and move all our stuff from KY to NC :eek:

Ohhh I see. That is funny because I am from Boston and they said April! I really don't have anything to bring with me. I would literal just find an apt and get furniture the week before. I am not married/ no kids...maybe thats why I need less time! I just wanna start ASAPPPP....I feel like I am forgetting everything :no:

I applied in early Feb and I was called for an interview about 10 days ago and I am interviewing next week. I am pretty sure I just applied for a staff I position for the ED but I got offered only new grad positions to interview for. I did not send letters of reference but I do have to have 2 clnical instructors fill out forms for me and provide them with 4 references on the day of the interview. Good luck!

I applied to a Staff Nurse I positions and was emailed back the next day. It took several days of phone tag, but I finally had some interviews set up. You will be told all the units accepting new grads and you choose which units you want to interview for. I interviewed for 5 units. I just sent my clinical references this week as I wasn't bothering them again unless I got the job this time. They will provide you with the forms needed to fill out, or at least email them to you. Be prepared with questions to ask, especially during the peer interview. This is your chance to find out from the source what the unit is really like, manager, etc. It can be a whirlwind of a day if you have more than 2 interviews in one day (like I did whew....), be sure to eat that continental breakfast at the hotel LOL.

Hope this helps some.....

I'ver heard through the grapevine that the new state-of-the-art neuro units are hiring new grads (don't know the specific names of these units, but they are new) and that they are decent units in which to work. Right now a lot of the positions in these units are being staffed by travelers, due to shortage of nurses. So, new grads - here's an opportunity for a great start to your career!

I'll pass this info along to my husband. I think he'd really enjoy a position in the neuro ICU.

Hi WildCatFanRN...did you get offered all of the positions or was SIU your first choice? I am so nervous about doing so many interviews in one day.......did they ask any questions that caught you off guard?
