   Thanks for clarification and advice! Now, I have a rough idea what I may say to the family friend. Just got to see how it all turns out… My family friend’s unit manager contacted me today to schedule an interview for the upcoming Monday. Hiring ...

   I have another interview coming up, and I think I need really need to change my mindset on the way things are. The interview part is not the problem for me, but the real problem ends up being the conditions of every new grad job position that I eithe...

6. Interviewing for New Grad positions during the pandemic

   guest1107684 replied to guest1107684's topic in General Nursing

   I am just coming at it from analytical side, since in business everything is about numbers. Words paint beautiful pictures, but numbers show reality of things. Lets say the program started in mid-April. That would make it approximately 20 weeks ...

7. Interviewing for New Grad positions during the pandemic

   guest1107684 replied to guest1107684's topic in General Nursing

   Yes, I think you are right. I should probably come down from a cloud and face the cold and cruel reality of everyday life. Hoping that a Med-surge/Telemetry residency program would interview me for that specific position without all the other "minor"...

   guest1107684 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Just came back from yet another interview for a new grad residency program. Does this sound like kaka that is wrapped in a nicely designed wrap? I had a similar experience a few weeks ago with an interview for ICU position where I was told that they ...

    I am in the same position and would like to know what type of training they provide in their ICU rotation. How is the program structured (classroom and clinical component, mentorship, program-end project)? I couldn't find any information about their ...

11. Is all time availability expected in the age of cell phones?

    guest1107684 replied to guest1107684's topic in General Nursing

    I think I got it. So what they really meant to say is, "We are interested in talking to you about a position at our facility. We are sending you this email to see if you are actually still interested, so we don't make extra effort of calling the pers...

12. Is all time availability expected in the age of cell phones?

    guest1107684 posted a topic in General Nursing

    In my previous interviews, most of the screening calls from recruiters came without notice. They just left a voice message saying that they want to talk to me about available position at their facility. When I was available, I would answer the phone ...

13. What do recruiters want to hear about your reasons for relocation

    guest1107684 replied to guest1107684's topic in General Nursing

    I will try a mixture of all of these next time. I think disgust with LA, CA would be an honest reason for relocation aside from better job opportunities. Thanks for mentioning this, Emergent.

    guest1107684 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am a new-grad who is located in SoCal area. I have been applying to out-of-state jobs and very recently received a phone call from a recruiter. It seemed like most of the questions were focused on relocation rather than on the residency program and...

    guest1107684 replied to short cake's topic in COVID

    Well... It is only true IF you are not willing to relocate. There are hundreds of RN residencies all over US that are currently hiring. Yes, the hospitals are limiting the number of new grads they are admitting, but they are still hiring. Every state...
