Hi everyone, I am a nursing student in my second year and I am doing a presentation on VAP. Part of that presentation is supposed to include a brief overview of the history of VAP (I assume how it was diagnosed and treated, etc.) I've found quite a b...

Congratulations!!!

As far as getting the names of people to talk to in HR, all you have to do is call the hospital and ask for the number for nurse recruitment. But like I said, I did all that and it got me nowhere. I was applying for jobs, and then making contact with...

Hey guys, I also just graduated the traditional nursing program through NVCC and passed the NCLEX. I start work with Inova next week. If you guys ever need any questions answered, I'm here to help!

You got a call from a recruiter? I think that is great! I only ever got one call from a recruiter and it was to come in for an interview. But I applied for several jobs and never got a call prior to that. Inova DOES hire news grads, despite any rumor...

PVT worked! Took it yesterday and got my results today (VA has a hotline).

Thanks Flames! I passed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And start work on the 25th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the same question. How long was it for you? According to the PVT I passed, but it shut off at 75 and I feel like I failed. And I'm not just being dramatic, that test was HARD.

I'm so glad I found this thread! I'm taking the NCLEX in the morning and have gotten the following scores on Q Review : 81, 81, 73, 93. But like the OP said, I have no idea how to quantify my scores. BTW, is everyone giving their scores, or percentag...

So did you have to wait a full 24 hours before calling? Does anybody know how soon the Automated License Verification is updated?

Do you have an update? I'm curious to hear how it all turned out for you.

I have so many questions. How exactly does the hiring process work? Who's in charge? What is a "hiring manager"? I just graduated nursing school (ASN), plan to take the NCLEX ASAP. I have zero healthcare experience, left the Air Force to become a nur...

No. "NAS 162 & NAS 162 (8 credits) at NVCC will fulfill the requirements for Anatomy and Physiology and Microbiology ONLY for students who currently hold a RN license." This is taken directly from a sheet they pass out at the information sessions...

I am in my final semester of nursing school and will be graduating this May. I am currently doing a clinical preceptorship on a same day surgery unit, and did IMCU the first half of the semester. I really enjoyed my clinical experience on the IMCU an...

Did I post this in the wrong area? I was really hoping for more advice or help.

I have applied to 4 jobs. I just don't want to rely solely on HR to get hired. From what I understand, the PCD has just as much, if not more power over the hiring process. I will apply no matter what, but I don't want to apply over and over without f...

ChristineN, I think you're going way overboard. I have done quite a bit of my clinical rotations at Inova Fairfax and well as one rotation at Fair Oaks and have talked to and/or seen several ADN students who have been hired in the past couple of year...

Well that's kind of reassuring. I was bummed out that I hadn't heard back but it sounds like there's still a chance! Signing a 2-year commitment is perfectly fine with me! Just getting a job at such a wonderful hospital would be an amazing opportunit...

Not me. I was hoping somebody had heard something by now. I applied and completed the career battery and am hoping to hear back from them. Dec 7th was the application deadline so hopefully we will hear something soon!

Did you receive the application packets before or after your phone interviews? Before your invitation to new grad day? Cristine - do you have any pointers for those of us who might go to new grad day? What should we expect? Any way to prepare for the...

Hi everyone, I am on track to graduate in May and want to know, what is the best approach to looking for a job as a new grad (ADN)? I've been working on my resume and want to start applying within the next couple of months, but don't really know wher...

That might be a good route to take. I called several HR offices today and got the same answers over and over. There either weren't any positions available and to 'keep looking online', OR I needed to wait to look until after I am licensed. I am start...

Okay, this is starting to get very frustrating. I called Inova nurse recruitment and the lady I spoke with said that the jobs will be posted mid-February/March but said that I wouldn't have a very good chance of getting hired because I don't graduate...

Can someone please PM me as well with the Inova nurse recruiter information. TIA

Dvldlphn32, Thank you for you response! I was headed in that direction because I had a feeling the only advantage I had over my peers was my veteran's status. I've been looking at Military to Medicine, but haven't seen anything very helpful. Do I jus...
