   RN2783 replied to RN2783's topic in Advanced

   Thank you both for giving me an idea of what the interviews were like for each of you. I had my initial interview with the CVICU Medical Director via Teams/online a few weeks ago. I was really nervous but the interview was more of her telling me what...

   RN2783 posted a topic in Advanced

   Hello, has anyone interviewed for an ICU NP position? How was the interview process? Besides the standard "tell me about yourself" questions, were you asked clinical scenarios and treatment plan? How long was the interview? Were you interviewed in st...

3. how can a nursing home nurse get into a hospital job?

   RN2783 replied to RN2783's topic in General Nursing

   @Sweetnurse63 Thank you. It's hard and I'm close to giving up but I'm hanging in there. From what I've heard, nurses in hospitals around here get paid way more than nursing home nurses.

   I just need to vent, and maybe ask the wonderful nurses here at AN any ideas as to how I can obtain my goal, that is, to get into a hospital job. I have been working as a nursing home nurse for two years now and have been sending out resumes trying t...

   RN2783 replied to daelia's topic in Retired

   I had my interview today too and I'm completely sure I flubbed it. The topics that I studied weren't asked and those that were asked, I have already forgotten. Ugh! I sounded like a complete idiot during the interview, it was so embarassing... I am ...

   Lucky you... wish I could have the same luck as you, but it's very hard to find a job here in the Silicon Valley area as you have read from the other responses in this post. But you're right, just have to keep being positive and putting my foot forwa...

    "We foreign-trained new grads have 2 options: either settle for a LTC facility which would be much easier to get in to, but less pay and sub-par experience that some hospitals may not even recognize, not to mention an easier way to lose your precious...

    I'm thinking of doing some volunteer work at some of the hospitals here. Will that count as a US experience for a foreign grad like me?

    RN2783 replied to RN2783's topic in International

    Yes, I am here legally and have just gotten my green card, in fact. I have all the docs and papers to prove that I am legally allowed to work here in the US, but the thing that's holding me back is that I don't have any US experience. I'm confused ho...

    I need a serious advice too, I can't make a new post since I'm not a premium member so I thought I'd just insert it here. I'm a foreign grad but an RN in CA and I have been looking for a job all over the place now, even tried agencies but I always ge...
