I'm down to join! :]

I would ask the recruiter about your current situation. They are very understanding and will speak to the director on your behalf. It is on a case-by-case basis, so I am sure they may make an exception for you.

Hey Yumi, is it $6/hr or base pay + $6/hr?

I was asked: Tell me about yourself. Why do you want to work for OR? And then each manager/director of each location provides a brief description of their location. And at the end, they ask which location are you most interested in (Children's, East Campus, Medical Center, Surgical Center, IDK if there are more I forget)?

Children's ?

Nice!! Which location did you get?

Honestly, I think I will because OR is something that I always wanted to do, and as a new grad and even an experienced nurse, it is hard to get into the OR without experience. Pay does increase after a year, but not sure how much. And the on-call pay, I should have asked. Did you get an offer already?

Yes, from my conversation when I got the offer, on-call pay is time and a half base pay (x1.5).

Yes, the differential gets tacked on to the base pay.

It depends. For residency, I know we will be doing 8 hours/5 days (40hrs/wk) for some time. Then, eventually most residents will do 12 hour/3 days (36hrs/wk).

I'm sure you will hear back. Each OR location has their timeline of when they choose their candidates. Apparently, there will be 9-10 residents for the OR cohort for August 2022. And from the looks of the sign-up genius that was sent to us...there were 12 that signed up to interview. OR has always been my passion, but the pay is really turning me off.

I interviewed for the Operating Room for the Adult RN Residency program, but I guess they combined it with the Children's Hospital as well. There were 8 interviewers via Zoom through mine. I got an offer today, but like everyone said, I am unsure if the pay is worth it for a 3-year commitment (1 year residency and 2 years full-time employee). How is everyone else feeling?

I am really nervous about it! We get 5 minutes to see the question and prepare... but then we only have one time to record. Hoping for the best!

I applied yesterday and got an email today to do a one-question video interview.

Hi! Yes, that was me! Thank you haha! Quick question, any guidance on what to study for the APEA 3P Exam?
