JCon

If you find out, let me know please! I'd like to join as well! & congratulations!! :)

What do you mean the title? I want to get to know everyone as well! What unit will you be on?

Also, I'm sure they understand it takes a while to get our test date so I'm sure they're not expecting us to have it right away

I know I feel the same way. I'm coming from California and won't be able to move until the week before we start, it's so overwhelming! When is the social? I would love to be able to attend that!!

I'm in the same situation! They said we only have to have our test date within 75 days of when we start. What unit will you guys be on? Also, I heard there's a Facebook group for this cohort, have any of you been added to it? I'd like to be added so I can get to know others who will be starting At the same time!

I accepted a position on the cardiac med surg floor, 8 Tower! Anyone else on that floor??

Since they want us to wear our school clinical uniforms, do we wear our school badge as well?

@nursehaliz I am in the process right now! One thing I found odd was having my director of the RN program, as well as myself, sign my passport photo. They are so tiny! She signed the back of it. How did you go about doing that?

Thank you so much for answering all of my questions, I really appreciate it!! I am coming from California and we do not have any residency programs like this where I am from, so this style of interviewing is very new to me. I really appreciate all of your help!! :)

What is the interview with the peer leader like? I have never heard of a peer leader so that is new to me. I am shocked to hear that all of the specialty positions are gone. I was told by the recruiter I have been in contact with since last summer that it doesn't matter what time you apply, as long as it is before the deadline they still won't be full because they will not make the final decisions to cut off hiring those positions until the very end. I was not able to apply until April due to some school things I had to get finished first, so I was worried about that being a problem at first. Who said that they are for sure no longer hiring into the specialty tracks?

Hi everyone! So I got an interview scheduled at Centennial, but am not sure how the interview process works. They said there it will be a 2 hour process, and that there will be a 30 min structured interview and then a 30 min peer interview. Can anyone explain how this interview process works? Thanks in advance!

I was told by a recruiter that it did not matter if you applied earlier or not, that the specialty tracks would not be filled before the deadline. Is this a for sure thing???

Hi everyone!! I am currently in the RN program in California and graduate in May. As soon as I graduate I plan to move to Nashville (I will be taking boards in Tennessee). Here in California, when working 12 hour shifts, after 8 hours we get time and a half from hours 8-12, and anything after 12 is double time. Is that the case in Tennessee as well? Another question, I know I will be getting paid less as an RN in TN, but on average what is the starting salary for a new RN grad in Nashville? I'm trying to compare it to what I would be getting here in California. No matter what, I am still moving as soon as I graduate, I would just like to know what I should expect starting out. Thank you all so much in advance!!!

Hi everyone! I am currently in my 3rd semester of my RN program and am applying to a few student nurse externship positions. I am not quite sure what is pertinent to include on my resume, do I mention my tasks from school, or what exactly are they looking for on a resume for an application for a student nurse externship position? Sorry if this is a silly question, but I want to make sure I am including everything that should be included, as well as making myself come across as a strong applicant! Thanks in advance! :)

Yes but I am unsure of which hospitals actually hire new grads with an associates degree. Since I am from out of state I am not as familiar with which hospitals will hire ADN RNs. I know where I live now only certain hospitals will, so I am just looking for some advice about which hospitals in Nashville/Hendersonville area that actually do.
