1. Port Accessing Question

   Curlynursern replied to Deb25's topic in Oncology

   Yes, you need a new needle. This is the rule for any procedure you will do as a nurse where you are "inserting" anything. (IV, needle for a blood draw, port needle, foley..) — with IVs and blood draws, you can adjust the angle without pulling the nee...

   Curlynursern replied to CN101's topic in New Nurse

   I’m pretty sure rejection letters do get sent out, but only when they close the job opening for good— essentially when they’ve hired everyone/everyone has signed their contracts. I took the job at LIJ for oncology and then I got a rejection letter la...

   Congrats and good luck! The interview style depends entirely on the specific management of the unit interviewing you. I interviewed for a med/surg oncology floor and got like 5 clinical questions, whereas people I know who interviewed with a PICU, CT...

   Congrats!! That’s great. There was only one in-person interview, but there were several people interviewing me (about 5). I got a call the next day from the recruiter asking me for my references online, and then a week after that I got the offer

   I’m sure you could but I know when I interviewed there were only 4 onc spots available at LIJ and she just set me up with the interview and I didn’t ask anything after that except if I could also interview at manhasset. The interview they set u...

   It is also a two year commitment! You are accepting a job/signing a contract for a specific unit when you accept the fellowship. The fellowship rolls right into the job on the unit (and a large portion of the fellowship is preceptorship on that unit)...

   Ugh that is frustrating. You can try the fellowship email but in my experience, they don’t reply back quickly, if ever. Its confusing, I’m not entirely sure how the recruiter works either. I do know that my recruiter said it was within her scope...

   @_allnurse I’m not 100% sure, all I can say is that when they ask you to complete your video interview, one of the questions is “which one specialty do you choose and why”. So I think it’s possible you may have to narrow it down yourself. You should ...

    @CN101 Thank you! I’m a new grad, but I did have Northwell externship experience (for Flexstaff- not a particular hospital) I hope you hear back soon!

    Curlynursern replied to CN101's topic in New Nurse

    Thank you so much! It was about a week and a half between applying and receiving a call. At first I was asked to complete a video interview (no one on the other end, you record yourself answering one question at a time — only have the option to ...

    Hi! I applied to all of the oncology fellowships and I actually just got my offer letter from LIJ! Sooo happy, I really thought it was a long shot that I heard back at all I know a few people who were asked to complete the on-demand video interv...
