I was wondering if anyone out there could give me some advice about updating my resume. I've only had one job as an RN and it is within the Float pool of a major teaching hospital. I'm not sure how to describe the position. I've seen a lot of resume advice about not writing generic nursing tasks, but to focus more on the tasks/meds/treatments that are unique to your specialty. Well I have no specialty. I know a little about a whole lot. I float to 16 different med/surg, cardiac, heme/onc (though not chemo certified), and one section of the ED (simple cases). How do I showcase my skills without being too lengthy. Any advice would be great. Thanks for reading!

I've been looking into school nursing in Boston and couldn't figure out salary. So it's thensame scale that they use for teachers? Do years working at a hospital count as experience? And they count partial masters credits as well for pay increases? It would still be a pay cut, but the hours, vacations, and summers are worth it! Plus a per diem job on the side. It also seems like their yearly increases are more than my 2% raise.

I passed the NCLEX on June 29th and I am also STILLLLLLLLLLLl waiting.....what more do they honestly have to do!!

soooooooo....is this not happening?

Congrats! Which unit were you offered a position in. I haven't heard anything yet, but they said we wouldn't hear until next week so hopefully there is still hope!

How'd it go??? What was it like? Give us some deats!!

Okay, I got the invite. It seems legit. I'm just wondering how many they are interviewing and how many they plan to hire. Anyone have any idea????

sure hope its not the same fair they planned last summer that apparently never happened.

Ya I could have done better...but could have been worse. They didn't take that info like the email said, although it's prob in my application somewhere. I was just thrown off by the whole thing because I thought I'd be interviewing with one or both of my top choices, not 4 different people from all different units.

so how'd the interviews go? I thought mine went okay. It was not what I expected.

so how long do we wait now that references are in....I hate waitingggg

Woooohoooooo got the reference check for New Grad!!!!!

My interview is Tuesday June 5th. They said I'd get an email about what to bring and where to park etc. but I haven't received it yet, has anyone else?

I actually feel more comfortable in a group interview as opposed to one on one. I think we are most likely only interviewing with our top two choices. Mine were General Surgery and Acute Care Elderly. I'm flying in from Boston. Super nervous!

There was 2 separate postings. The ER seems to be moving faster than the general new grad position. Can someone even confirm that this is a legit hiring opportunity. I can't find any info on anyone actually being hired. I'm out of state so I don't know.

so we wont here anything until late june for a july start program?

I got rejected from the ER dept a few days ago but I haven't heard anything for the regular new grad

Anyone else get an interview with University of Colorado Hospital Residency program for July 2012 start?

i'm pretty sure my online status has changed for this job. it used to say something like "under review....if you meet our high standards we'll contact you".....now it says "our recruitment team is currently processing your application. you are being considered along with other candidates for the position. we will be in contact with you only if you are selected for an interview or if we need further information."

Mine disappeared too!! it made me nervous, but maybe it just means they are reviewing them??? I hope for the best

wow that is a longgggg waiting game

I agree about the questionnaire. I kept thinking, should I put what I think they want me to put or be really honest and hope that that counts for something.

On a Saturday??? really? I'm surprised. But my status is the same so hopefully that is good news!

I applied for Med/surg/Tele, Oncology, and CCU. I also got the impression that peds and the ICUs were most common so I'm hoping my choices give me more of a chance.
