Im so excited that I have an interview at Hopkins next week for a UAP/RN position. Im scheduled to meet with recruiter, and interview with two nurse managers and have share time on two floors. From 9-5! Longest. Interview. Ever. Im hopeful it will...

Congratulations!!! Im taking it you got an RN position then? Lucky duck!!! I am certainly not complaining about starting as a tech, as Im sure I will get some great experience...but...I cant AFFORD to work as a tech for long! I'll be working to p...

Thanks! I got an email 2 days later. I did follow up the following day with an email as well.

Thanks! I start on Nov 7 for hospital wide orientation. Best of luck with your move!

Thanks! If you look back in thread, there is tons of info regarding W4 interview. I got hired on a different unit. I start Nov 7 and the interview for W4 was about an hour.

I got hired! It is my dream unit...as I will get trained and certified in oncology/chemo/critical care and cross trained for outpatient services after I transition to a RN on the unit. I applied for a clinical associate position and they emailed...

I just wanted to update you...I got my first choice job on Oncology/BMT!!! Im ecstatic! It is for the UAP/RN position, which Im actually happy about because the responsibilities on this floor are intense. The info you gave me for the other unit re...

W4A is a surgical unit, with a concentration on ENT and head and neck surgery. The interview was about an hour, with 2 hrs of share time. Overall, I like the unit. The interviewer told me she has about 6 other interviewees (You included!) and hope...

@sb30 Based on the advice on the board, I called nursing recruitment, and was shocked someone actually SPOKE to me! They told me to apply for a nurse clinician I position or clinical tech. There were no NCI positions I was qualified for so I appli...

Wow, more great info! I dont think Ive ever been so prepped for an interview! Thanks again all; hopefully you will all me be new co-workers, and we must meet and do lunch :) I've been jittery all day, making everything is perfect, so hopefully I w...

Yes, that is really good to know. This way, If I dont hear by Friday, I will know I #failed! I also agree that getting in should be the hard part...moving around not as much. As long as they dont make you commit like 3 yrs on a unit, that would be ...

Im sure Hopkins' Psych is the real deal. I did a clinical rotation at a state hospital (bleh) and worked on a unit in a major teaching hospital in another city...likely accounting in such differences. I didnt mean to beat it up, because its a GREAT...

Wow, thanks for the info. Ugh...tons of trachs and strictly surgical huh...I would DEFINITELY be more interested on the strictly oncology floor, but I guess beggars cant be choosers. PAGES OF QUESTIONS?? Like typical "when was a time when you..." ...

Thanks! With a little more digging I found out some info about each unit. The surgical IS Weinburg 4A, how did ya know? Is that one you interviewed with? The other one is Blood and Bone marrow transplant...FASCINATING stuff! That would definitely b...

Fantastic! Thank you so much for your reply! I hope I didnt offend you about the change of clothes question; but you saved me from looking tacky showing up to an interview in scrubs! It sounds incredibly intense. I have one more question...what...

So I thought i'd update! I called the recruiters office directly, and surprisingly got right through to someone. She told me to go ahead and apply for a Clinical Tech position. I did, and received an email back in like 10 minutes regarding being e...

I agree...and it can't hurt to look and apply! Best of luck to you!

Its a tough market here, not sure how it compares to others. I am a new grad and have sent out approximately 50 applications, and have had only one interview, in which I didnt get the job. If at all possible, I would suggest holding off until you h...

Awesome! Thanks so much for the reply, what great info to have. Best of luck to yoU! :heartbeat

This may seem like a silly question, but how did you apply for an UAP/RN position? Was it specifically posted like this, or did you apply for a regular tech position? T.I.A!

Hello all. I have a DUI charge only a little over a year old that I plead guilty to in another state. I hadnt even considered this being a potential breaking point for my new career! Any advice what I can expect when I apply for RN license in Maryl...

Hello all. Im wondering if anyone has any experience with the MD BON in this case. I will be graduating in 3 weeks and just NOW find out that having a DWI charge may prevent you from getting a license or require a probation period. The offense was...

Thank you for your response. To clarify, I have no intention of being deceptive to the BON. In actuality, the state that the offense occurred in doesnt consider it to be a 'criminal' offense rather a traffic offense which doesnt show up on fingerpr...

Grrrr I know exactly what you mean! I think in every cohort, there will be some clashing personalities. My specific pet peeves: -Asking the instructor after every topic "whats on the exam?" -Using class time to ask questions about material that is e...

Please dont let others determine your future! You CAN do it, as long as you want it bad enough. It is no doubt a challenging feet that requires a lot of sacrifices. As long as you sacrifice the right things, you are good to go! My personal experienc...
