Hi all, I was offered and accepted a position last week! I interviewed with and will be working on 4E. Congratulations to everyone who have accepted positions, I can't wait to start! Currently, I'm looking for housing to start around July 1st. I'm planning on doing a group house/apartment with 3-4+ people, everyone with their own room. I'm planning to live in DC around U Street, Dupont Circle or Adams Morgan. I also love Georgetown but would only really consider a place there if it was close to one of the bus lines that go to WHC (H2, H4, D8). From what I've see it'll probably be around 800 per room because multiple roommates really save money in dc proper, which is comparable prices to Arlington but you get to live in the city! I figured it'd be fun to live with other people in the same boat as I, and after orientation we'll be on different schedules so the place will seem more spacious. Let me know if you're interested or have something set up with a few people already and could add another. Send me a message at my alt. email: [email protected]. I'm a 25 y/o female and consider myself fun, respectable and easy going. I'd be fine with all female roommates or half females half males, either way hopefully all with similar easy going, fun respectable personalities. I'll be at WHC for my paperwork and physical on the 13th, if anyone else will be around that day!

I definitely don't think they interview everyone and am very pleased (borderline honored) to get an interview with so many New Grads being on the market. I still think they'll take many more interviewees (possible made up word) though for the (at least) eight interview dates AKA keep hope alive to any and all :) Like I stated before, I read past programs stating interview 200, hire 100/120 but I imagine only the Nursing Recruiters know what they want for this July. To answer your q's I'd read past WHC program message boards, they go over most of those topics that only those that have done it can answer.

yeah that's the information I've basically read so far which still makes me a bit nervous. I take in Wednesday. It's funny because unless I would've emailed the Nursing Boards weeks ago, I doubt Ill ever know the answer to this Q, haha :)

Pokytroky- I'm going to PM you so hopefully you get it . Honestly, I'd be into any of those Cardiac Units. If I'm able to interview for Cardiac I think the specific unit will already be identified though, whichever needs staffing, etc. I think I'd learn a lot in Cardiac Medical, Cardiac Observations I'd be super excited for and Cardiac Surgical would be like a 2 for 1 deal I think, haha. Other interviewees (Mandy2point0, FuturenurseT, BlessedNurs, an121na) what are you all looking to get into? I submitted (1) Cardiac, (2) IMC, (3) Med/Surg. I'd love ED as well though.

Hi everyone, I just received confirmation to Interview! I'm ecstatic and encourage others to stay hopeful, I know it was a rough few days waiting and reading others had interviews (though happy for them!). I applied 4/13, received their request to interview yesterday 4/20 where I wrote my unit preference and date available to interview, and then received confirmation today 4/21. I'm interviewing on 5/9. Is anyone else interviewing this day or before? Please let me know! Also, if anyone has any information if they're looking to interview and hire about the same numbers as February (read interview 200, hired 100/120) that'd be helpful! Or any general tips with the WHC interview process and how to get hired would be great, haha! My preference is Cardiac, wondering what the Cardiac Nurse Manager will ask if I'm lucky enough to meet him/her. Again, good luck to all :)

I've read the NCLEX information in full but have a question about TIME PER QUESTION. I realize including breaks, the tutorial, the exam, the pretest questions, etc you have 6 hours. BUT: If you sit at a question for XX seconds/minutes, will it automatically count it wrong even if you answered right? A Professor of mine once said that if you take that long to answer a question (I think her example was something like 90 or 120/150 seconds) the exam won't alert you/move forward but whatever the answer it will be counted "wrong". If anyone WHO IS POSITIVE of this information can reply I would much appreciate. I sit for the NCLEX next week so I doubt there is enough time to contact NCSBN. Thank you & Good luck to all :)

Congratulations Mandy! Yes, could you let us know what day you applied? Also, what day did you receive their interest to interview you (phone/email?)? What day are you interviewing? Sorry for the questions, just want to push forward :) Good luck! I imagine you'll do wonderful on the interview!!

YnotAsk, I take my boards on April 27th as well. What program were you in? I wrote it in my Cover Letter when I was scheduled to take the boards so they would know 'I'm not slacking off' haha. I've already submitted my application but have been looking towards this program for months while I was still in Nursing School so I wanted to get it in asap. Good luck!

Thank you for the heads up BlessedNurs. If anyone hears back any information from the recruiters please post so we all can see how the process is going In the mean time, does anyone know about how many people they've interviewed/hired in the past February, October or July (if there was one) Residency programs? Or what kind of GPA they're looking for? Good luck to everyone x 100

Hi everyone, Please if anyone could reply back to these two quick questions (you know how priceless information can be when you're in the shoes of a new grad ): I would love (love love love) to be hired for the WHC July 2011 Residency orientation group.... 1. When do you think they'll post this opportunity in the Career Search/Job Postings on their site? (From past posts I'm seeing 2 months in advance but I wanted to hear anything different) 2. Will the post be in the normal Nursing Job Search area? What will it say (just wondering if it'll look obvious or not)? Sorry to sound hypertedious but I check frequently and haven't seen anything yet. I would hate to miss so I want to be as prepared as possible. A genuine thank you to anyone that can provide information

Hi CharmedJ7, If I'm correct with the timing, did you start in the July 2010 Residency program? This is also the program I hope to apply for soon, but of course 2011. I will be coming in from out of state as well. I take my exit Hesi required by my program in March and hopefully my Boards asap (since most say Hesi prep is harder than NCLEX prep, thus once you pass Hesi and it's still fresh you should take NCLEX asap). Though, I'm most likely going to register for my licensure to be in DC, not in my current PA residence. (Goodbye Philadelphia hopefully) to avoid the transfer process. I was just wondering if you were apart of the July start date, when did you apply and what was the process like in terms of dates for you and other new grads you started with, etc? Thank you!

Sorry hidden, didn't mean to quote that reply of yours. I was just referring to yours and others messages earlier about Q2's difficulty rate. Thanks!

Could any ACErs maybe take a second to explain why Q2 is so rough? Is it the classes and if so, which ones are the worst? Or is it the balancing act of classroom workload with 3 days of clinical. Also, are we tested on the three clinicals separately, together or is one of the classes (300, 301, 303, 308) just about the clinicals, or does each class have its own clinical (except Pharm) because I see they're 6 credits. Sorry I realize that was a lot of questions, but just trying to figure out why Q2 is so rough and how I can try to set myself up for success in preparation (mentally and educationally) for this term. Sidenote: goodbye Summer

yes, I just talked to Peggy. She said it's going to be 8-5, as of now but might change

It's a pretty big attachment (whole year, but reminder its for Fall 09 so ours could be different) so can you pm me your email address. Thanks!
