Interviewing tomorrow for 10 CVT. I'm wondering if anyone has advice to share. Maybe there's someone out there that's familiar with the unit? How about those that weren't selected after interviewing- what do felt went wrong? What went right? Thanks!

Hi Freckles, I chose everything ICU. There were BMT and outpatient infusion openings also... oh, and Ortho too. Wishing you the best on a call back next week!

I'm curious. For those of you fortunate enough to have been granted an interview with SHC- which units did you choose for your top choices?

This is an interesting conversation. Thanks for everyone's insight.

I'd like to know as well.

My status changed from: Application received > Application in review > Selected for interview. Interview is in mid-July. Thanks for wishing me luck, along with some solid preparation, I'm sure that I can use it. Good luck with your selection pr...

Thanks! I received the call yesterday morning to schedule an interview.

Looks like interview notifications are underway.

Ditto. Anyone else receive word outside of website status checks? Emails? Interview invites?

Hi! I'm trying to map out my nursing career. As a new-grad, will working in ambulatory care limit your future options as a RN? I'm asking because once a new-grad works as an RN - they are no longer eligible for new-grad programs. On the other hand, i...

Nope... It'll just be an ambulatory care clinic - don't believe pre/post surgical nursing duties are part of the description. Considering new grads are admitted into specialty ICU's where I'm at - I see no reason why it wouldn't be possible for a new...

It seems that the safest bet for any RN intending on going into critical care should be cautioned against ambulatory care nursing. Would this be an accurate assumption?

Those were my suspicions exactly. Thanks for your input.

Cool. Thank you. Hypothetically speaking, if you wanted to work in critical care later down the road, do you think that you'd be competitive? I've put some thought into this, and it would seem that not having hospital experience would be held against...

What do you all like most about ambulatory care and clinic nursing?

Thanks for your reply Dutch! Did you face any particular stumbling blocks when applying to the SICU? Was there any negative feedback in relation to your qualifications to work in critical care as former ambulatory care RN? Also, most importantly for ...

Thanks for your reply brownbrook. I'll let you know as soon as I find out.

Bump In need of some advice from anyone in the know please.

Curious. For those of you selected for the new grad program - were any of you also VALOR participants?

Congrats Zesta, Which VA will you be working at?

Any of those selected for this new grad program care to share their experiences thus far?

Have any applicants received acceptance or rejection letters yet?

Although the requirements for each VA's VALOR program may differ, there seems to be one consistency. You must be a current nursing student enrolled in an approved BSN program with an anticipated graduation date w/in 1 year of entry in order to be con...

Hi, I was recently accepted into the nursing program at SFSU for Spring 2011. I searched this whole forum and was unable to find solid answers to the following questions about the nursing program at SFSU: 1) How much should one expect to pay f...

Don't take this the wrong way- b/c I don't believe that you deliberately mischaracterized the workload required of this course.... or perhaps the course requirement has been changed. However, GWAR is a major writing course and it consumed a dispropor...
