  1. How did you get into the ICU?

    hcox1975 replied to missbutton's topic in MICU, SICU

    I got hired in ICU as a new ADN graduate. I had clinicals in two different ICUs and interviewed in one of them. I also was a LPN for two years and they considered that experience. Maybe you need to...

    hcox1975 replied to wannabenursevr's topic in Critical Care

  7. Update on jobs for new grads

    hcox1975 replied to sillyspicygirl's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I agree with the post that mentioned standing out in clinicals and preceptorship. I did not want to work at the hospital my preceptorship was. So I made sure that I made contacts at my last clinical...

  8. UAB will no longer hire an ADN?

    hcox1975 replied to peace2's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I have also heard that, but I am an ADN and I got a job there last month. I think they are considering it, but it hasn't taken effect yet. I looked at human resources yesterday and they were still...
