Any interview tips on the ones who did get offers?? What do you think made them hire you?

How did everyones interview go?? I thought It went by really fast.

Ive been looking for info too! I got the call yesterday for an interview there next week. I have to fly down from the bay area. They said it will be a 30 min interview with 4 ppl. They're thinking of hiring 10 people total or more for M/S Tele and a step-down unit. Thats all the info I got.

Okay, so i applied for the VA position and submitted my application along w/ the 2 required federal forms, cover letter, and resume. But my application status says unavailable. Is this a technical problem? I swear I completed the application. Is anyone else having this problem? or can help? I would appreciate it

Hi I just took my NCLEX and still stressing over it. I had a priority question that bugged me, and I wanted to ask any fellow nurses on this thread and NCLEX takers for some help I know we are taught ABCs when picking an answer for priority question but the question was .."Which patient in the would you see first? and the 3 answers I was stuck on were a. Pt complaining of chest pain -----possible MI b. Pt complaining of SOB ---- I picked this , am i wrong?! c. Pt w/ clear dry drainage around halo traction --- I was thinking it would be CSF leaking

Congrats! Did anyone else get a call today?

Hello I am a new grad and trying to prepare myself for interview but I have no idea where to start! Nursing school DID NOT teach me anything on interviews. Can anyone please give me tips ? or questions they have encountered?

This is for the John Muir nurses in walnut creek I am currently a preceptee at John Muir and I would love to work at their ICN/NICU one day just bcuz i fell in love with the hospital and I have always wanted to be a NICU nurse. So I have heard that they are opening a new ICN unit with more beds. Does this mean they will be hiring really soon? I will be graduating this Dec 2010, since with this hiring freeze craziness is there hope for me???? Also any tips ?

Hello I am a senior nursing student and starting my preceptorship this weekend. Im real nervous about it. What are some tips that can help me get by for those that experienced it already? How do you organize all your doctors orders for all 4 patients??!

Hi Working NICU/Peds Nurses I will be graduating from the nursing program in December and I am already searching through hospital websites for openings. I know that with today's economy it has been hard for many new grads to even land a job especially in the bay area which is where I am located. I just would like to know from you nurses working in NICUs/PEDs if your hospital or unit is hiring at the moment or REAL soon as of 2011?? Will you be opening New Grad programs? If so, where and when? Please let me know. Thanks!

Wow its great hearing about all the new grad's job positions in the NICU. Hearing everyones stories makes me even more excited to finally graduate. I also wish to work in the NICU right after I pass my boards. However, I am still in my last semester of nursing school and I am precepting in a adult medsurg unit b/c it was the only thing available for me. Do I have a chance to win my first nursing job in the NICU if i havent precepted in one ??

Hi Nurses! I am currently in my last semester and starting my preceptorship in a couple of weeks. However, I really wanted the NICU for preceptorship but I was unable to land a spot in any NICU out here in the bay area. So i ended up being placed in a adult med-surg floor:crying2: My question is..Will any NICU accept a new grad like me, with preceptorship experience in a adult medsurg ?? Or do only new grads with preceptorships in the NICU have a better chance ? Also how does new grad/employee training go in the NICU ?
