Hopefull

Thank you so much for your insight. I interviewed and you were both right; I was told the interview would be for a case management position but when it came time to interview with the CNO he was surprised I was going for that position with no experience. I was given wrong info (how embarrassing). But it is a smaller hospital and there were other positions available on the floor for a new grad. I started the process with HR but am now a little iffy about working there because of the ineffective communication, although it would be a good place to start given how hard it is to get into a new grad program in SoCal right now.

Hi all, I’m in need of some advice. I’m a new grad but have not yet started working on a floor since I have been applying to new grad programs but have had no luck. Now, I have an opportunity to interview for a case management position. Should I start my career with case management? Will it be really hard to get a floor position later if I get the case management position? I kind of feel like a lot of nurses eventually tire of being on the floor and maybe this is a good opportunity to “skip ahead” to a position off the floor. But, I feel I might miss out on getting that 1 year experience which seems so essential in a nursing career. In addition, if I get the case management position should I stop looking for new grad programs? I know it’s a lot to ask but any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

I just got the rejection email. Ah well I hope better luck next time!

Yeah, I feel the same it’s been awhile LOL. I think we’re different floors so not sure about being alternates. But I’m a little relieved to know I’m not the only one still waiting. ?

7SE 7SW General Medical.. What about you?

Hi, is anyone else that sent in their references still waiting on an email or call? I’m starting to feel it’s been too long…
