hi, i'm starting my cleveland clinic orientation soon and will be taking the PBDS assessment and their METI eDose math exam. I would really appreciate some feedback. how hard did you find the tests? any tips on what to study? for the PBDS i am study...

Can someone who works for UH give information on the hourly rate? I am aware their benefits aren't as good but I'm just looking for health insurance, PTO and a higher base pay from cc. Right now I'm making about $25.50 with 2 years experience at the...

Can anyone offer more info about UH pay for a nurse with 2 years experience? Just looking for approximate numbers here. From what I gather it's somewhere around $28-$31? Also does anyone know how much their float pool pays? I am under the assumption...

Hey guys! congrats on all the new job landings lately! it sounds like things are starting to look better than when i made the decision to leave about a year and a half ago. for those of you who left the city, found good med/surg work elsewhere and a...

hello dear, i am sorry you are going through so much and it must be so hard to be a single mom on top of it. so with this hospital where you have been working for 10 years, are you a nursing assistant there? i think the first thing i would do would b...

hi, i was just curious about the cleveland clinic's increase for shift differential of $5 after one year, do you know if this is true for all areas or was that specific to the ICU? i'm working on a step-down unit and wondering what my pay increase wi...

hi, how did your phone interview go? sorry i never replied with more tips, but as you can probably tell now there aren't a lot of great tips to give other than just doing your best, and then waiting to hear back from a unit manager for your second in...

hi! congrats on your phone interview too! i am actually heading to bed as it's waaay past my bedtime and i am up for orientation in the morning! but i will write more tomorrow to elaborate on your questions. but yes you are correct in that the phone ...

hi, i have a phone interview for a new grad position at the cleveland clinic next week, i was wondering if any of you who've had phone interviews with them (or any hospital) could offer some advice as to the sorts of questions they ask and any way t...

i had wanted to attend this huge job fair last year but didn't have my ohio license at the time. i am happy to say that one year later i finally got a job at the cleveland clinic! but now i have a few questions for those of you who work there about ...

so, it took me a little while but i finally landed a great job with the cleveland clinic! to answer your questions about the phone interviews, this is their first step in the process, as far as i know no one is going to offer you a job just from the ...

i find it odd that every time i post in the ohio forum it's like crickets with the responses? everywhere else on the site (esp NY forum) i get a lot of responses rather quickly, it's surprising esp since the cleveland clinic is the largest employer i...

hi, i have an interview on a bone marrow transplant unit soon and would like a little advice. i'm an (old) recent grad with less than a year of experience at a skilled nursing facility. i am interested in the BMT unit and oncology in general, my onl...

thanks for everyone's input! i had my interview on the BMT unit and i was offered the job! i did really like the BMT unit but i was also offered my dream job on a heart and lung transplant step-down unit so i accepted this offer instead :)

hi, i'm a recent graduate who has relocated back to my home state to find RN employment. i have an interview for a Bone Marrow Transplant unit with a very presitgeious hospital and i am very excited! but this unit has 8hr shifts and i would be on a ...

thanks for all of your input. if the interview goes well and i decide to take the job i will adapt to the new schedule. i also had an interview in the ICU/CCU and am applying to a ton of jobs back in new york (where my fiance is) so we shall see wher...

hi, i'd like your input regarding the best types of nursing experience that will eventually land you an acute hospital job. i am currently working full time as a charge nurse in a SNF (first job out of school). i am thinking about relocating to anot...

Hi, it stands for skilled nursing facility and its a term used in certain nursing homes that have a unit for more accute patients. Its basically a medicaid term, i enjoy working on mine and am doing a ton of things i learned in hospitals, ivs, trache...

thanks for your input. my goal would be to get with a LTAC setting, and feel that SNF is the best experience to work towards that. i also agree that home health and certain clinic experience does not challenge your time magagement and prioritization ...

i couldn't agree with this statement more. and telling our new grads they should avoid working in SNF needs to end, a hospital job may be ideal but a job in SNF is a great way to begin your career and get your foot in the door. i know several nurses ...

hi, i'm an 'old' new grad (june 2011) who has recently relocated to a city that has more opportunities for new grads. I'm a second degree RN who moved back to cleveland after 10 years in NYC (where the RN job market is REALLY bad). i have a few p...

i totally agree with you. my grandmother passed last winter and i would prefer to work in a facility similar to the one that treated her than the majority of hospitals out there, the staff was excellent and highly skilled. i just wish hospitals were ...

i would happily work in LTC, my only issue is that many hospitals don't consider this good enough experience to land a hospital job later down the road. do you know of any new grads who worked in LTC / SNF for a year or two and then moved on to an ac...

i have a few questions for you. i'm a new grad RN and am awaiting to hear back for a second interview but i heard that it can take weeks to months so i am looking into their PCNA jobs to start working in the hospital and keeping some skills fresh. i ...
