Thank you both ! And no there is no contract or anything with either. I definitely am leaning towards the day shift my fiancé wouldn't mind either way assuming I could eventually work days. I was going to see if there was a time requirement to be on nights for the trauma offer or if you could be put on a waitlist or something for days eventually. If not I think I'll just take the day shift offer.

Hi , I will be graduating in May and received two job offers. One at a level one trauma hospital as night shift trauma/surgical resident at a magnet accredited hospital. The other at as a day shift Neurology/Pulmonary nurse resident at a hospital that should be gaining magnet status by June. Both jobs offer the same pay and 12 month residency. The trauma PCU offers a bonus (doesn't say how much) after 6 months. I've always been interested in psychiatric nursing but I did not get offered that unit. I'm also getting married next March so this is also what's conflicting me. I don't necessarily have a preference since I have no experience in either but I do realize trauma can be an excellent experience and sounds very interesting , just not sure how a new marriage and life will be affected. If you had a dream unit on nights vs. day shift med surg in my position how would you make the decision ?

Thank you for responding! I thought management seemed supportive the facility was a tad bit older but everyone seemed so nice. Did you enjoy the unit or get the feeling that the nurses like the unit as well? I’m attempting to decide between a trauma PCU position !

That’s awesome congratulations! Can I ask how you’re making the decision? I’m in between choosing a neurology/pulmonary position at a different hospital or taking JPS since trauma seems so interesting but could be overwhelming so IDK ...but I have no experience with either..LOL also JPS doesn’t require a contract correct ?

Anyone else get an offer for Neurology/Pulmonary? Is this like a med-surg unit?

Did anyone else get an offer for Trauma/Surgical PCU ? Looking to get to know who all else !

Nervous as well I haven’t heard back either for med/surg

I applied for the medical surgical subspecialty! I got my verification email for the interview today as well.

Hey guys I know y'all are probably tired of hearing me be inpatient but I finally got the counter sign today at 1:28 pm ?

Was it a mistake on your end or did they just need clarification ? Just trying to see if I messed up on anything. My status still says in final review and I don't have a signature yet.

I’m still waiting on a signature I was in the first finalist emails too

No countersign yet ?

When I called and asked about the loans I took out for Summer and fall the rep said they would reimburse me then I would have to pay them. Right I wish they could just go pay off Sallie Mae while they’re at it ??

I left the entire employer section blank.

Yes and I used the CAL loan since I'm in Texas plus federal. My school is an ABSN 12months and it started in May which is why I already took out so much. But I just looked it up in the booklet it says if "the participant has taken out a student loan for Summer and/fall while waiting for notice for the award the school is to provide itemized invoice and they will pay the academic institution for the amount/fees covered by the loan." so that's good but of course I'd rather just cancel the loan like you said once everything gets confirmed so I will try that option first ! Thank you !

I'm a finalist too! I hope this means that we got it haha. I don't know what to do with the loans I already took out though.

If already accepted one email i got said “Once you have received final grades for any courses completed please send official transcripts directly to Nursing Admissions at the address below in the signature.” And it’s the Dallas address

Just requested !

Do you have any idea of what their weekly schedule was like ? I realize it probably varies ?

I know she said we get like 2.5 weeks for winter break because the other nursing class is getting pinned. So since they’re focused on that we get to chill for awhile. Sorry I wish I remembered more! But I do recall her stating don’t plan to do anything aug-dec b/c it’s the most hours and hardest semester of the program and your family and friends will see you in December when we have that break haha

Congrats!!! Did they say anything about financial aid or scholarships?

My letter said by February we will begin to receive emails from student services about FBI background check. I haven’t heard about drug testing I guess It’ll be around the same time

She showed me a calendar during my interview. But everything seems really planned out since the program has been going for awhile.

Does anyone know anybody that has went through the program? She showed me the schedule it’s so much ! I was hoping someone who’s been in the program could give some pointers but if not we’ll see for ourselves I guess ?

Mine hasn’t changed from waitlisted. I think I’m going to end up at another program in Dallas it’s way more expensive but at least I’m for sure accepted into the program rather than waiting another semester. I’ll just start thinking about these hefty loans in the mean time ?
