Hey!! So I came across NCH seasonal nursing jobs a few months ago and have been thinkin about it ever since but wasn't sure if this was a good opportunity. Plus I didn't want to get stuck down there for 6 months by myself with nothing to do!! How many of you are officially going? Also, I'm curious how this housing works since it sounds like I would be applying late? I thought they gave an $800 stipend, was I mistaken? Thanks for any input!!!

I applied and got a job offer at MCCG --The Medical Center of Central Georiga in Macon GA. I applied before I even graduated and flew down for the interview just shortly after graduation. I applied and had a call within in a week for 2 different positions. I also didn't take boards until awhile after I had the job offer

I just graduated May 2011 and applied for a few jobs in Georgia and got an offer in the ICU...so I took it! I am actually a bit nervous now, but there was no way I could turn down an offer like that. I know a couple other students that I graduated with that had offers in the ICU as well...It all just depends on where. Also, mine is a teaching hospital so that may have made a difference? Good luck!

If you could PM me that would be great! Why is it you decided to not take the job if you don't mind me asking

What are the benefits for MCCG? I have an interview coming up but I am just kind of curious as to what they are. I am unable to find anything listed on the website and I noticed $2000 keeps being mentioned. Is that a sign on bonus?

I just got a call from MCCG for an interview on 6 main Med/surg today!! I am from Minnesota but going to try and fly down in a couple weeks for an interview!! From the research I have done it seems to be a great hospital!

So they won't be taking anyone graduating this coming May 2011? I still haven't heard from my recruiter either...I am thinking it won't be good news :S

I haven't heard from my recruiter either and I am getting really worried...and ANXIOUS!! I just want the results already...Everyone keeps telling me no news is good though. I guess that's one way to look at it!

Oh my gosh that is a LOT of applicants?!?! Is the the number FOR SURE?! My recruiter originally told me that there were 100 spots available but now I keep hearing there are only 50. Over 400 applicants in NUTS!

Congrats to both of you!!!! That is so exciting!!! I am going nuts here knowing people are finding out left and right!!!!!!!

I haven't heard a THING from my recruiter yet. I just e-mailed him again today...I am getting really nervous. Maybe they said no to me right away because I will be a young new grad with no nursing or military experience =S So anxious!

I put Colorado for my first duty station too!...Then DC for my second and Seattle for my third!

My recruiter told me that I should know by Thanksgiving...but from what I keep hearing everyone is saying it took much longer last year. I am keeping my fingers crossed my recruiter is right though!!

Is this your second time applying? ...and it took a month and a half? My recruiter said that he thought we should have answers for sure before Thanksgiving.
