This post has been very enlightening! Thank you Mamita for asking the question and thank you commenters for responding!

Finally got hired a year after initially applying then reapplying 6 months later but this may be different based on the unit you apply for and their need. Also recommend finding out who the manager is of that unit and sending an email to them as well...

Has any experienced nurses applied to VCU in the last month or so? Have you received any call backs for interviews or have been hired? There are several positions posted that have been up for months.I have applied and received a call from the nurse r...

Since my first new grad job in the NICU I had four interviews before obtaining my current job which is my first after my new grad job and they all asked the same things: Tell me about yourself? Tell me about the type of unit(s) you came from? Tell me...

Be persistent! It takes a big hospital system awhile before they get around to you but also know that there are probably 80 other applicants that have applied for that same position. I would recommend calling the nurse recruiter. Or possibly even fin...

This post is very vague. First, I would not recommend moving to an area without finding a position there first. Second, what field of nursing are you looking to get into?

For the NICU you had to have completed an externship or preceptorship to get hired as a new grad. I also was in contact with the nurse recruiter throughout my application process until I was hired (her information was listed on the website). Are you ...

i love the 12's but since when did they have to start at 630 in the morning!! what about a 9a-9p?? I can do that. Plus, when you work nights you are basically working TWO days... hellllo people!! lol

I like that the patients do not talk back to you and the challenge of figuring out what is wrong with them because they don't talk back. I dislike that the parents are there to talk back to you (lol... well the overally obsessive and ignorant ones) a...
