I am scheduled to start in July, it is really stressing me out because I wish I could just start now and help out. I spoke with HR 2 weeks ago and they said my start date will not change, but that was also 2 weeks ago and things seem to change by the hour at this point.

I will be graduating in May and starting in the ICU in July at a level 1 trauma center. It was mandatory for me to complete my capstone in the ICU, I would not have even gotten an interview if I did not have that experience. I had to write in the hours of ICU experience I had in my job application to be considered for the position. I did not want to work at the hospital I completed my clinicals at, but I could have easily gotten a job in that ICU because of my capstone and the connections I made. I also worked as a patient care technician in the OR throughout nursing school and I think that helped me a lot too.

Hi! So I graduate in May, and am supposed to be starting a new grad residency program in July. I am really worried that my start date will be pushed back due to COVID-19. Anyone else in this situation know anything at all about what your hospital is doing in regard to new grads?
