Thank you guys so much for the advice! Nice to know there's a very supportive community online ? My preceptors were impressed with me during orientation and I'm working on my own right now! I still get those pre-work jitters, but I'm constantly reminding myself that it's normal and I'll get the hang of things soon. And to answer your question, Mrs. D, yes! They knew I was coming in with 1.5 years experience.

Hi! So I was able to land my dream job at a large teaching hospital in a Neuro ICU, which I am incredibly happy about, but I can't help but notice that I've been getting very anxious and stressed. This is my first "experienced" nursing job (I have about 1.5+ years of ICU experience) after leaving my new grad position in a combined ICU at a community hospital setting, and I-of course-expect there to be some growing pains and whatnot. I feel that a part of me is anxious mainly because I gave myself two months off in between to recharge after constantly taking care of covid patients (which did take a toll on my mental health). But does anyone have advice for me? I'm worried that I won't be good enough for this position. ?

Hi! I feel like what you're going through right now is so common among us new grads. I'm a new grad too and am feeling some of the things you are feeling right now, but I heard it should get better after the one year mark! I'm not sure where you are located, but I'm pretty sure it's illegal to have those sorts of contracts. My advice would be to stick it out for a couple of more months and wait till you reach that one year mark, and start looking for a different position elsewhere if you are still feeling the same way. What other specialties you are interested in? I know things are so much easier said than done, but I'm sure you're doing great ? Nursing is definitely a challenging-but rewarding-position, and working in an acute care setting can get very stressful. One thing I like to do when I'm feeling the way you are feeling is to remind myself why I chose nursing in the first place. I hope I was able to help in some sort of way!

To those who interviewed with 6ICU, has anyone received the reference check email?

I heard back from Little Company of Mary for their ICU!

Got my interview invite to Neuro :)

I had mainly basic personality type questions with a couple of clinical scenario questions (handling aggressive patients, medications, and etc).

Has anyone heard back from Neurotrauma ICU?

I also received a faulty link!

Ah so exciting! I hope you get the job :)

I hope you hear back soon! And I don't have any connections at Providence Health.

Routed to interviewing supervisor

Hey, guys! I started a new thread for the upcoming Winter cohort. Just thought it might be easier to communicate with a new thread :)

Just checked the status of my application and saw that there was a status change! I feel that they'll be getting back to us really soon.

I was thinking the same thing too! I was expecting a more complicated application process haha.
