Has anyone worked at Joe DiMaggio, Nicklaus or Baptist Hospital for pediatrics? I'm considering leaving my job and looking to apply to these hospitals but I am unsure which would be best. I will only have 6 months of experience as a new grad. My goal is to work in pediatrics or L&D. But L&D is much more competitive so that will be difficult. Any opinions are welcome. Thank you!

Is this for the new grad nurse residency?

There are no pts on vents. The telemetry floor is split into stepdown pts and medsurg. You need special training for the stepdown pts so they don't give those to new grads right away until after 6months of experience. There's a tech 24 hrs a day looking at the monitors so you do not have to analyze the rhythm. It's a regular cardiac floor.

Congrats! I chose UM for the pay and because I heard good things about them. NCH pays less and there’s also less opportunity for growth because nurses who work there stay there for years. I also did not like the management. But if your highly interested in pediatrics then you should choose NCH because UM unfortunately does not have a pediatrics unit.

Nevermind ? It began working today.

Hi! ? Have you tried to access the ulearn website to see the courses & modules we have to complete? I keep receiving a sign on error every time I try to access it. I’m just curious to see if I’m not the only one. I thought maybe they either haven’t set it up or we don’t have access until later on this week.

Thank you for reaching out! Yes, I received them all. So excited! Enjoy your weekend as well! ?

Okay, I will.

Oh okay, so we've received the same information so far. ?

Maybe they will validate our ticket? Considering it's the first week. But I don't think we will go to the hospital the first week. The last onboarding information I completed was setting up payroll & the insurance. I was told we will receive an email today or tomorrow in regards to orientation. I bought hunter green scrubs because that's what I've seen all the nurses/staff wear. Also, the picture day for our IDs is on Friday and the dress code will be business casual. I'm waiting on further news as well.

Hey! I haven't looked into the parking yet. I might be parking at the metro station & taking the metrorail to the hospital. What about you? I saw the parking rates and it's expensive.

LOL ? We're you able to set up your work email?

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it! I actually received the emails today from HR for the payroll, benefits, etc. My recruiter seems annoyed of all my emails & calls so I gave up. LOL I’ll keep you posted as well if I find any more details.

@Mari BSN RN Hey! Were you able to find out anything in regards to orientation or the dress code? The recruiter informed me that I will probably receive an email by Thursday or Friday in regards to orientation. Did you complete the physical, drug test, & fingerprints? Just curious to see if that is what the email you received yesterday was in regards to. Because I completed those tasks about 1-2 weeks ago and they told me that the next upcoming emails ill be receiving are for orientation, not for any other onboarding tasks. But I haven't received anything in regards to creating a CaneID so I'm confused.

No, I haven't received anything yet. ? I was just about to email the recruiter. I guess ill wait until the end of the day for the onboarding email. Yes, definitely! That's a good idea ill do that too.

I realize that now from experience and I'm glad I ignored it. I emailed one of the educators for the program and that's where I received the information about orientation. I haven't heard anything else from HR or the recruiter. I'm very persistent to get more information LOL. It's hard just waiting. Not sure how long it'll take to receive an email because they opened the job listing again a couple of days ago to get more applicants. I'm probably going to do the same and call today because now I'm a little confused. I was told to wear a business casual outfit for the picture/orientation. Did she mention to wear scrubs for the nursing orientation or the HR orientation...or just in general? I bought hunter green scrubs too on amazon LOL just in case. I will let you know if I'm able to speak to the recruiter or HR. If you hear anything could you please let me know! ?

Oh okay same here ? I'll be doing night shift. What about you? Have you received any info regarding orientation? Apparently were suppose to receive an email from HR soon because March 1st is HR orientation & March 3rd is the actual nursing orientation. Not sure what the schedule is going to be like but the recruiter told me it was going to be virtual? But it doesn't seem like it. I'm guessing we'll take our picture for our ID's on Monday. Did they tell you this too? Many people discouraged me and told me to not even bother to apply because they give priority to their students..but I applied anyway. That's great to hear! So far I've heard only good things ?

Congrats!! I'll be starting March 1st too! ? Yes, the reason for this is when they contact you again your offer letter will be attached to that specific posting on workday & that's where you sign the letter. Have you received any of that info yet?

Oh okay. LOL That's awesome! I'm so glad to hear that. I was skeptical to work there because I've never done my clinicals there or know anyone that works there but I took the risk anyway. Thank you!

How did you know! LOL Did you work in that unit before?? That's awesome! ? Good luck to you!

I denied the offer for NCH. I was more between UM & Baptist & I chose UM. Congrats! ? I will be working in Cardiac how about you?!

I heard back from them on Tuesday. They sent out denial emails yesterday. How about you?

Oh okay same here. I was hoping too!

Hi! @FSofi Have you heard anything from Nicklaus??

Yes, my school offered us the course last year before covid
