That's probably the reason I was hired as well!! I have plenty of vent experience from being an RRT, I know the hospital, and know the computer system, so I would consider myself a shoe-in for a new grad position. I'm am looking forward to learning in critical care units as a RN!!

Great news, I was notified today that got the job as ICU float!! Thank you all for your advice!!

@pinknblue82: Yes, if I cant get into my ICU, I'd settle for Tele float, we don't have a step down unit!!

@Trilldayz,SN: I've been a Registered Respiratory Therapist for 12 years now! I'm part of the Code/Trauma/Rapid Responce Team. I'd say I have pretty good critical care experience/exposure. I'm trying to be patient, but it's the ICU that I love, not med/surg float pool!!

Is it unheard of to have new grads go directly into critical care? I'm in Connecticut and most of the hospitals stress "NO new grads will be hired in ICU"! Why has this changed? I know plenty of nurses that went straight to ICU upon graduation and are some of the best nurses.

BIG congrats!!

Did you do Quick Results? Does it work on Sunday? I took mine Friday (6/29) and would live to get my results!

BIG time!!

That's awesome NurseCrystalRN!! I'm glad you got right back in and tackled that beast! BTW, my name is Crystal, I too will be Nurse Crystal RN. I just tested yesterday!!

Thanks Tashy!!! In that case, I don't want one!! Lol!

Does Pearson Vue send you a breakdown of your exam to see how many or which questions you answered incorrectly. I was wondering of they sent something similar to Kaplan's end of test analyzation!!

Rebecca929, did the Pearson Vue Trick work on the weekend? How did you make out?

Same here! I too test on 6/29!! I praying for us ALL!!

Best of luck to all of you soon to be RNs!! Please post if you do PVT!!!

AWESOME!!! Congrats!!!
