    Yes- but I was told they finished all interviews. They typically interview for all positions for the unit in a grouping. Fellowships/Residency programs still take the same classes and start on the...

    From what I have heard, NICU is only participating in the residency program once a year now. They are revamping another program. CVICU I believe finished all interviews in May, I interviewed on the...

    Don't give up- I didn't get into a hospital job (happened to be an ICU training program) till 5 years ago, and I graduated 9 years ago. I had to move for 2 yrs 5 hrs away from my husband but we made...

    Yes the fellowship, but I believe the overall number of program slots are the same- we still take the classes with the new grads since it's a new specialty but our orientation is a lot shorter due to...

    Doesn't hurt! Hem/Onc experience would be valuable too! I went from adult CVICU to NICU (huge jump) but it's not impossible to do, just it's hard to adjust to the different sets of treatments/normal...

    Sort of- peds CVICU deals with congenital defects ,anomalous veins, ect- even my adult CVICU experience doesn't translate well to peds since it's mostly MIs from CAD, diet, ect. Even between two...

    You work tele in adults? That should help, get any certs and go to classes if you can for hemodynamics, critical care, ect. Good luck! I think though, other units would be happy to train you to do...

    This makes sense- less patients means they can't properly learn to take on assignments (new grad wise). We'll see- maybe I should check in with the recruiter

    If the managers decline to move forward with video interviews- they'd send out an email based on what the recruiter told
