Thanks, Fizz--that gives me a clearer idea. I think learning how to evaluate patients who want a lot of attention will be difficult for me as a new nurse. Your point that it is not always in a patient's best interest to sit and talk is a good one f...

Hi, I know this is an old thread, but I liked the advice I was reading in it. I am a new grad and was just hired as an acute care MH nurse on the night shift. Your posts have been helpful as I gear up to start my new career. I was wondering, IdrilRN...

I haven't heard anything yet from the hem/onc/BM transplant unit. I was hoping that "after July 4" meant this week, but who knows.

I'm an older new grad as well and have been looking for work since last Oct. My previous career was in infectious disease research. I have an MSN and a high gpa, and have my credential as a clinical nurse leader. I've gotten past the first round in...

That was my pick,too

I was also wondering why it takes so long, unless they are contacting our references and need to allow plenty of time. For those applying for hem/onc/BM, did you tell them your preference was for days, nights, or it didn't matter? I told them days ...

A friend of mine was just offered a spot in the July 11 cohort (in the last hour, I think). Last name starts with S. For those of you who have received calls, were you told to expect to work nights? And if so, what did you tell your open house in...

Congrats to those of you who got accepted. Way to go! Are they going to send you paperwork to sign or what is the next step?

If you could, please ask her if they want an answer on the spot or when we need to make our decisions. I'm waiting on a decision from another interview and won't know for 2.5-3 more weeks.

I didn't ask. Last I heard it was "60 but possibly more"

I had to contact the HR person who sent out the email request because I was having trouble accessing the form. I asked if getting this request for information was any indication that we would be offered positions and he said no. They will have the f...

Just checked and found the request for the application that came yesterday. So no one has reported that they haven't gotten the request?

I haven't heard anything yet

Altho I think my interview went very well and my interviewer gave some positive feedback as I answered, she made no comment at all about her recommendation. Are there others like me or should I be worrying?

My interviewer also said next week, but I asked out front and they said two weeks. Hmm...

I was called around 6:30 pm Mon to verify the time & was later sent an email with all the info, including who will be on the panel. Such a long interview---1 hr

I'm hoping to be interviewed early as well, since I have another appointment to get to in the westside after my 4pm interview.

They'll let us know by next week. I asked very few questions since they were running late. I learned they are heading towards an all RN (no LVNs) workforce and a 1:5 NP ratio on the M/S floor. 1:3 on SCI. Sounds like they are getting the new grads o...

So Jojonavy & WUNSN---what did you think of the interview? I thought that the panel were so very nice and made me feel like I was giving great answers. But I am so upset that they are only hiring for night shifts!

So is there anyone else besides me who is interviewing for a non cardiac/CVT ICU unit? If my math is correct, there were 23 applicants CC'd on my email. If 12 of them are interviewing for the 4 cardiac/CVT ICU spots, that leaves 11 interviewees fo...

I believe this will be the last interview and then they decide

I've gotten most of my stuff together for the portfolio, except for refining my short essay. I have another job interview tomorrow at the VA Long Beach and the USC brunch on Fri, so will start preparing for the CS interview after that.

The email I received does say to include the resume

Thank you so very much, Carolyn. You've really given me a clear picture of the program. I'm really hoping to get into the program.

I was told by Cedars that they are expecting to interview 300 and hire 50 (possibly more).
