Hi, new grads just wanted to see if anyone else was invited to the hiring event at Inova's corporate office this month in Falls church.

What is the difference between the evening and night differential when you work 7pm-7am? I am confused about this. Usually, when you work 8 hours the evening is the swing shift time from 3-11pm and night is 11pm-7am. So, do you get paid night for 4 h...

These are new graduate positions. So, you need to have graduated in the past year and have less than a year experience.

I interviewed with staffing solutions and they hire for all five hospitals, so the recruiter told me I will be in critical care. They have not placed me at any hospital or unit yet. I have requested the Alexandria or Falls Church locations. I will ha...

There is also actual postings that will say new grad position or there may be a regular rn post that will say open to new grad.

I just got my job offer today! Yeah, the best Christmas present this year. My start date is end of January, beginning of February.

There are plenty of home health care agencies and nursing homes that will hire ADN's.

Most hospitals in Northern Virginia and D.C. have magnet status and any new nurse must have a BSN to gain employment. You can look down south or any that do not have magnet status. It is getting very competitive and most nurses are graduating with th...

You don't apply for the fellowship program. I just applied for a RN 1 position and the recruiter called me and said that if I were to work for them because I was a recent grad that I would be put in the fellowship program.

Good luck on boards. I know the pressure to pass can be greater when you have a job offer contingent on you passing. Get plenty of sleep the night before. Get your coffee before you test and take your time with each question. Make sure you take break...

That's great. I am assuming you still have to pass boards? Wow...another hiring event tomorrow, that's great. It seems like they are hiring a lot of nurses. Did you get a call or email to let you know you were hired and what unit did you get? When is...

I used to live in that area and unfortunately there are only three hospitals. Two, Mary Washington in Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania Regional Medical Center and they don't do much hiring for new grads. You can also go south about an hour to look for...

Seems like an easy choice, not quite sure what makes it so hard. Did you not mention the position with Inova was 15 mins from your house and that you loved the office and staff? That would definitely be my choice.

Do nurses in the ICU get paid more than other units?

Yeah, I plan on working still but from home. Maybe something like an advice nurse for a health insurance company.

When you apply to Inova the postion/listing says RN GRAD Inova staffg solutions.There is actually an opening right now on their website. Go on the Inovacareers.org and create a username and password and upload your resume and cover letter then look f...

I applied for 13 new grad positions since Oct 1 and saw on nurse.com a job fair in October at the Falls Church location. Went and pretty much was told the same thing as you by the recruiter. Nothing ever became of it. I kept on applying for new grad ...

I just attended a hiring event for new grads today so it really didn't fit under the cohort selection in Virginia for Inova, they are still interviewing for the rest of the week. I wont know anything for at least two weeks, so if I am hired probably ...

I also passed my first try and I used the Kaplan Nclex book and more importantly I used The NCLEX-RN (made incredibely easy) Questions and Answers. I kept using the online questions and practiced for at least a month before testing. I did not feel th...

I just attended a hiring event and a job fair in the Falls Church location and they are starting at $25/hr. Don't know anything about the Alexandria location, but would assume it would be the same amount. What hospital are you referring to that only ...
