Has anyone who interviewed for NSU/Neuroscience heard back??

I received an email on may 26 for an interview for the neuroscience unit

Hello, I am a new graduate nurse applying for nurse residency programs in Southern California. I have applied to numerous jobs but have yet to hear back from anywhere. Below is my cover letter for an ICU position I applied for, so any help or critique or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! [also I have certifications in BLS, ACLS, PALS, NIHSS, & FEMA but not sure if I should state that as they are on my resume] July 13, 2022 Hiring Manager, Jane Doe Hospital Name 1234 Hospital Dr City, State Zip Code Dear Jane Doe, I am writing to express my interest in the ____ Nurse Residency Program in the Cardiovascular Thoracic ICU and Cardiovascular Thoracic Telemetry units. My critical care rotation at _____ Hospital along with my senior capstone experience in the ICU at ______ Hospital have provided me with a solid foundation and understanding of critical care nursing in the ICU. Being an individual with experience working directly with cardiac ICU patients, combined with my personal ethics that closely resemble the hospital's mission of of providing quality patient and family centered care, I am enthusiastic and eager to prove myself for this position. I recently graduated with my BSN Magna Cum Laude from _____ University in early May 2022. During my critical care rotation in the CVICU, working directly with complex cardiac patients, I have developed a better understanding of managing arterial lines, ventilators, complex cardiac medications such as vasopressors, vasodilators, and antiarrhythmics, and interpreting heart rhythms. Throughout my studies and accumulation of over 200 hours in critical care, I provided direct care to patients with diverse cultural backgrounds where I practiced my skills in assessing, planning, evaluating, and implementing a multidisciplinary plan of care while focusing on patient advocacy. Interpersonal skills are other strong qualities I bring to my nursing care such as bedside manner, empathy, communication, teamwork, collaboration, and effective time management. I am confident that my compassionate heart combined with my skills in adaptability, leadership, critical thinking, and high-pressure decision making make me a quality candidate for this position. I look forward to speaking with you soon. Sincerely, My Name BSN, RN

hello all!! i am currently a 20yr old female & will be starting my 3 year BSN program in the fall, which i will graduate from in spring 2022. i am very interested in joining the military for nursing & have been for quite some time however i have a few questions. first, my hopes are to work overseas in different countries and help treat soldiers & civilians. i definitely want to join the military for nursing however i’m leaning towards maybe a 5 year max service, as i would prefer the “civilian nurse” lifestyle for when i’m married / have kids which is why i want to become a military nurse in my early-mid 20s (i will graduate with my BSN/RN at 23) i understand i probably won’t get deployed overseas right away, but i would prefer to travel & work overseas (Germany, Korea etc ) as soon as possible. i am wondering which branch i would be able to work oversees the “quickest” and how long the commitments are for the different branches. secondly, i’m wondering if i should look into joining ROTC at my college to help me in the military nursing field/future application process or if it’s too difficult to do both while in nursing school?? thirdly, is it recommend to join the military as a nurse as a new grad or is it better to get 1-2 years of civilian experience before entering the military field. i understand the application process can be quite lengthy of about a year or more, so should i begin the application process during my last year/semester of nursing school or is it better to work as a nurse first and while i work to apply??also, i am wondering if there are any GPA requirements that you need to attain in nursing school because of the competitiveness of military nursing? or any certifications that may help? thirdly, are there any summer volunteer programs to gain experience working in the military field under nurses?? i have my CNA license too. or any sort of organizations to help people abroad in the medical field?? i’m sure there are but i don’t know of any organizations (haven’t researched much) i completely understand i’m still 3 years ahead of even graduating but i like to plan ahead & ANY information/advice would be much appreciated! i have begun researching the branches but i would love to hear any additional insight! thanks in advance!
