I got the same e-mail. It said that they'll send monthly updates about the status of our application. I got so excited when I saw jacqueline's name -.-

Question, to those that got accepted/interviewed, did they ask you which campus you preferred?

@TheStudent123 @Ariemay82 Thank you both for the support and information! I'm excited to say that I got a job at my dream hospital in ICU! I'm both terrified and excited at the same time!

@mrg-BSN-RNThat's amazing! I'm so glad to hear that and I wish you the best of luck! I unfortunately did not enjoy my interview with Northwell ED. Compared to other interviews at different hospitals, the managers and educators by far had the worst energy I have ever experienced in a hospital, so I recused myself of the position immediately after. I ended up taking a position at my dream hospital anyway. But for people still interviewing, YOU ARE INTERVIEWING THEM AS MUCH AS THEY ARE INTERVIEWING YOU. If management does not fit you and your needs, it may not be worth the position.

That's incredible! Does anyone know if NYC salaries are comparable to LI salaries for any hospitals?

Congratulations!! I'll be interviewing on Monday for ED @ LIJ!

I got in an person interview for ED at LIJ, has anyone gone in for an interview yet? Can you let me know how it is? Hey, I'd like to hear how your interview went and if you got the job! I also want to ask what the salary is if that's alright. I have another job offer and I don't know what salary I should be aiming for at this point.

I'm a new grad so I'm not even a baby nurse yet, but during nursing school with the breakouts and terrible stress, I made it a point to go get a facial with a trusted esthetician both for my skin and mental health! Also, I practice a lot of yoga and exercise which helps my skin glow. Eating right and drinking water does wonders. As far as actual products I love naturium brand at target for affordable prices and sheet and eye masks for the days when my skin needs extra TLC.

@TheStudent123 For some reason I can't reply to you, maybe I don't have access to that yet. Thank you for the input! Unfortunately because of COVID there wasn't enough ICU preceptors at the hospital I was placed in so last minute I was switched to ED. I really hope that doesn't make me less of a candidate because my school couldn't get it together for our capstones LOL Did they ask clinical questions?

@TheStudent123 I tried to message you, but I'm not sure how to send it. I appreciate your help! I'm based in NY so that is where I'm looking. I have an interview with my top choice hospital & fellowship this Thursday and I really really want to make a great impression. Any tips for making myself stand out during the interview?

Hi, I know you're well passed your graduation date. Maybe this will help someone else? I don't know what you ended up doing, but I know plenty of RNs who started in ED and ICU as new grads. One of my friends said that her hospital prefers new grad in ED because they don't have medsurg habits (I'm not sure what that actually means LOL). So many of my mentors who are in the generation above me tell me to start in medsurg to learn the basics but everyone in my generation told me otherwise saying if you hate medsurg, there's no point in burning yourself out getting fundamental experience you're gonna get in ICU and ED anyway. I'm a new grad interviewing for ICU fellowships, and I've been asking the same question and those are the responses I get. TL;Dr - It's better to start in a unit that you love and be excited to learn than be in medsurg where you'll end up burning yourself out and losing motivation.

@Curlynursern Yeah, I agree with you. It does specifically say emergency fellowship so I will continue with that. Maybe if I can get further interviews somewhere down the line I can share my preference. I'm honestly thankful to get any fellowship at Northwell so I'll be happy either way!

Honestly, I have no idea. I emailed asking about the process of the fellowship programs in general and my recruiter never answered me back. I have to complete the interview by today and I don't know if I should continue with emergency or go with my top choice. I wish there was a number I can call. I might contact the northwell fellowship email.

@Curlynursern Thanks! I got an invite to the emergency on-demand, but my top choice is critical care so I emailed the recruiter to see if I should put my top choice or stick with emergency. I haven't heard a thing from the critical care positions ?

I applied to both emergency and critical care at all locations. Does anyone know if I'm allowed to be in the applicant pool for both or just one fellowship?
