nathRN, congratulations!! I too accepted an offer from neuroscience and will be starting in April. Looks like we will literally be coworkers, how cool! Have you already started looking at housing? When are you going to head over there?

Narakira - Are you starting in March? They offered me a position as well.

SimplisticRnx, I think it just depends on the manager. Did you say you interviewed for adult medicine? Did the manager tell you anything at the end of the interview? When I had mine the manager told me that she would be forwarding my information a...

SimplisticRnX, I will be flying out of Indianapolis Indiana.

Erin, I don't think I would make it through the 4 hours with high heels on! LoL! I will just wear my suit as planned. Well I didn't really have any input in the unit that I would be interviewing for. Neuroscience is the department that has interes...

Erin, I was wondering if you wore a professional suit or scrubs to the site visit. I was planning on dressing professionally, but in the email that the recruiter sent out she said that scrubs were okay. How was everyone dressed? Thank you for the...

Hi nathRN! I am travelling next week for a site visit as well. I'm very excited even though I don't know what to expect. Best of luck to you as well! Maybe we will bump into one another.

Wow 75 questions in 45 minutes is fast! It took me 2 hours to get through my 75 questions before my computer shut off. I was counting on not having to do the whole 265 so I decided to really take my time on each question even if the correct answer ...

SimplisticRnx are you applying for a spot in the new grad residency or just for a staff position? Im not sure if everyone has to tour/shadow. It is my understanding that the site visit is important so that they can see if one might be a good fit fo...

TigerLilie, How did the site visit go? Can you tell me what the process is like? What do you do during those 4 hours? I will be flying out in a few days for a site visit as well. I am so nervous because I would really like to be offered a positio...

nathRN, im flying out for a site visit and face to face as well! When are you headed out? ...if you don't mind me asking :)

I was wondering if anyone can tell me the actual start date for PCMH's new grad residency program 2012? I had a phone interview last friday (01/20/2012) and the manager told me that someone would be in contact with me to tell me about the next phase...

I took my NCLEX exam earlier today at 12:30pm. My computer shut off after I finished the 75th question and I got home around 4:30pm. I felt like the exam was extremely difficult and that I was failing the entire time. So many SATA and priority que...

I realize that it has been awhile since anyone has posted about PCMH but I was hoping we could revive the thread. I have an interview on the 20th of this month for the New Grad Residency Program 2012 that will begin in March. My interview is with t...

To the OP, I see where you are coming from. I too was raised with certain old fashioned standards about the man being the "head of household" in every sense of the word. In my family, being an educated woman and being able to make money was stresse...

I'll be graduating in December as well!

I agree with the post above. I think that if nursing homes had more opportunities to work 12 hour shifts, more RNs might be interested.

I'll be there in a few days! I'm very excited!

You must be Houdini and Florence Nightengales love child. I have read in numerous posts about nurses being forced to prioritize care due to lack of support and time, and expressing guilt about not having time to give baths. What is sad is your naiv...

I may get flamed for this but I think this is where private nurses should come into play. People need to realize how unfair the hospital system can be towards the nurse. So many nurses do not have the time, support, and resources to deliver the typ...

THANK YOU!!! I'm not an RN yet (10 more months to go) but I worked on a telemetry unit as a tech for almost 2 years and saw firsthand how huge of an issue staffing can be. As a tech, I picked up OT when it was convenient for me and when I needed t...

Do you guys have mandatory overtime at your facility? Are you being forced to miss out on all these wonderful opportunities with your family or are you choosing to?

such as .....?

Who do you propose will pay for new healthcare staff to the increase in patients if people are not held accountable for helping to pay for their medical services? Where are the hospitals going to get the money to hire all of these much needed worker...

While I understand the point you are trying to make, I am pretty sure the OP was generalizing and one does not need evidence based research to do that but I'm actually interested to know if there is evidence out there because I wouldnt be surprised i...
