Thank you!! Great advice!!

Just wondering if anyone could offer any good advice regarding training for the first week of residency?

Hey guys, for those of you that got offered a position and would like to be facebook friends send me a private message. I'm moving from out of town and would love to meet fellow new grads during this transition =) My orientation starts in March!!!

sorry for the typo lol i meant excited as I am!

Is anyone as excited am I? lol It's truely a blessing!!!!!! I hope to work and see many of you during our New Grad Experience!

Tried the trick!! 75 questions!!

Congratualtions to everyone that's gotten offered positions! Yay newRNAllie! =) Good luck to those that have upcoming interviews! So has anyone heard when we start our paper work/orientation?

I think reimbursement is only for relocation (anything greater than 250 miles one can recieve $1,500) but wouldn't hurt to ask regarding flight/hotel expenses =)

Interview tips- be confident, let your personality shine:-) when it comes to interviewing every unit has their own style. don't be surprised if it's a panel interview, expect the unexpected.Review the standard behavioral interview questions with specific examples...research your unit. Like common meds, pts seen etc. It's better to be over prepared then under. Good luck! Remember to leave a lasting impression!!

TooterAI - congratulations!! I was also offered a postion! Let me tell you, the interviewer's asked me three of the exact same questions mentioned above! I also believe CONFIDENCE and one's PERSONALITY is the key to landing a job!

I was offered a position (by phone call) last night from the unit manager at SM =) If your interested in the specific unit, just PM me. Hang in there guys and have confidence! Wish everyone the best of luck!! Also for those that will be offered a position, PM me if your interested in rooming together. Ill be moving to LA before the start date and have no idea where to start looking for a places to live! Any suggestions would be great!!

Hi Nurseteee! I was wondering if I could ask you some questions as well =) I sent you a PM, hopefully you get it, I'm new to all this as well...

Wow that alarms me, she clearly does not have the correct training to start IV lines.

It's hard not letting your nerves get to you but the more relaxed you are the easier it will be to think critically and articulate what the interviewer has asked. Best of luck!! Prove to them you are the RIGHT candidate for the job!

Try to get your foot in the door, perphaps volunteering in a unit of interest if you can't land a job right away. I also would brush up on the subjects that you were difficult for you. It's vital to keep up with the nursing knowledge regardless if you are or aren't in school. Good luck!!
