I talked with one of the nurse residency recruiters and she said the process can take a couple of weeks! Just out of curiosity where did everyone apply to and what department? I applied to Centennial (L&D, mother baby, and NICU) and Summit (L&D/mother baby-it's a conjoined unit)!

I applied to Centennial and Summit and haven't heard anything?? Has anyone heard anything from any of these two hospitals? Also I wonder if they don't hire you for the area you applied for will they offer you a job on a different floor instead?

Thank you so much; I'm very excited :) When you called and requested it from HR was that after you accepted your job? I'm also worried about the on call policy. I am planning on commuting from my home town (which is a hour drive) until I can save enough money to move closer (the cost of living is much higher because it's in a big city) so I am unsure on how that would work? If there was mandatory overtime shifts I'd be happy to trade someone their overtime shift for my on call shift but I'm not sure if hospitals will let you do that?

Also I'd like to point out how stupid I feel because I just realized I posted "advise" instead of "advice" oh gezzz

I also want to add to clear up confusion that even though the two hospitals are owned by the same company within each individual hospital things are different like pay, policies, nurse/patient ratio...ect

I will be graduating in May. Some of my friends that have already been hired are being compensated for things like NCLEX review and license cost and some aren't that's why I'm curious. I interviewed for two jobs. One interview was a panel interview where I was able to ask questions like overtime and weekends policy because I was only applying for one department at that hospital so I was able to directly take to the nurse manager on the floor. I did not though ask about any benefits like compensation because I didn't realize at that time that was something hospitals were offering. At the other interview I asked those questions as well but because the way the interview was set up I didn't get an exact answer. Through that hospital you applied for three tracts and a random nurse that work on one of those floors and a random nurse manager separately interviewed me and when I asked they told me the policy for their floor but said it varied depending on what floor I was hired on. I am applying in TN. Whats confusing about the hiring manager is that both jobs are through the same company even though they are different hospitals and if you are a new nurse you have to apply through the "nurse residency" program which is directed by someone in the large company versus someone in the individual hospital. I have tried calling her but have not been successful in reaching her. If I'm not able to get in touch with her by tomorrow afternoon I will just send an email but I feel like it would be easier to ask everything over the phone.

Hello! This week I am suppose to be hearing back from two hospitals I applied to. I would like to know if when you got hired out of school if your workplace offered compensation for things like taking the NCLEX or getting your license? Also did they tell you things like starting pay, how many weekends you have to work, overtime policy...ect and if not whats the best way to get that information before offically accepting? If I get offers to both jobs I'd like to compare things like that before accepting which one I would like. Is that something I should just ask about when they call me letting me know that they want to hire me? Should I just ask what benefits they offer or ask in some way if they could send me a list of benefits/specifications to look over? Also since I applied to two hospitals I hate to say yes to one then the other one call me and offer a position as well but also I'd hate to not accept the first job then never get an offer from the second and end up with no job so how do I handle that? Would the best thing to do would be verbally accept both before the official offer letter comes in decline my second choice? Sorry for the large amount of questions; I appreciate any input!!
