If there are any international nurses here, especially ADEX Medical Staffing. How long did your contract take to complete?

I have signed up to take the CCRN exam. I really don't know where to start studying. Any advice from those who have taken it in the past? What studying materials should I use?

Are you only applying to hospitals near you? Sometimes you have to take the risk and apply hospitals a bit further away. Some hospitals are hiring . Continue trying. Every new graduate can relate. You’ll find something

I wouldn’t totally say they loose money. It’s like investing in someone and get a return. So they train the nurse and the nurse has to stay for a certain period of time. Reasons why most hospitals make new nurses sign a 2 contract or offer a sign on bonus. However, there is a lot of resources and efforts that go into training a new nurse. It’s a win win on both sides.

I agree. At this point the hospitals are putting all of their efforts to fight the virus and not really thinking about training new nurses. I’ve been seeing new graduates talking about how hard it is to get into a hospital especially now. I empathize because I once was a new nurse and know how they feel.

I’ve been hearing rumors that say the hospitals don’t have the resources to train new grads right now because they are using all of their nurses to fight the Coronavirus Would be great if someone in the hiring position for hospitals give some insight. It’s sad that now there is a huge nurse shortage but they only want experienced nurses.

I got the job. Really excited to start. Did you hear anything back?

???We will get the position. I am putting it out there in the universe. Don’t know what to do to take my mind off it. I will see if I can get a follow up by the end of next week. Hopefully I don’t have to and hear the good news before then.

It is very slow. I guess they don’t sense the urgency and anxiety on the applicant’s side.

Congratulations ????. I’m next for sure. So anxious to hear something back.

Do you think that with coronavirus being a pandemic it will affect that nurses trying to get a job in a hospital? Are hospitals open to hiring? would love to hear from nurse manager, HR or anyone involved in the hiring process.

I had a phone interview yesterday. It was great on my end. I answered all of the questions and the manager sounded pleased and satisfied with my responses. I have been constantly checking my email and praying for a phone call. At the end of the interview I asked 2 questions. I also thanked the manager for taking her time out of her busy schedule to interview me and I hope I hear from her soon. The question is usually how long after a interview do a hospital usually follow- up and was I too pushy with my last statement? I am so anxious that I am picking apart that last statement saying that maybe it turned her off????

Hi. Did you do your phone interview already? How was it? I had a phone interview yesterday for a position that I really want. The interview went great on my end. Lasted about 30 minutes. I am praying I get a positive update soon. So nervous

I just had a interview yesterday for a hospital and position that I really want to get. I’m edge waiting for a response. Constantly checking my email and hoping for a phone call. I affirm that both of us will get a call or email soon saying that we got in. Let’s claim it ????☘️

@OregonRN512Thank you for your post. I am interviewing for an IMCU tomorrow. Praying that I get in? Already claiming it ☘️?☘️???
