Just wanted to also give an update on my process. I completed a digital/video interview, had a phone interview with the HR Recruiter assigned to the position and also had a phone interview with the team of hiring managers for the role I was applying for. I found out on Friday that I did NOT get the position. Am really bummed about it too. The process is so detailed and I honestly have the necessary experience so I'm not sure what went wrong.

403RN - Wondering if you are still enjoying your job at UHG? I have been going through the process and am finally meeting with hiring manager for a Utilization Review position later this week. This will also be a WAH role. Do you happen to remember any of the interview questions you were asked? I want to be as prepared as possible.

Anyone here work in Reproductive Endocrinology (Fertility Nursing, IVF, Donor Egg)? I worked in this area for 2 years (several years ago), but it has always been near and dear to my heart. I'd love to find a job as a Nurse Educator in this specialty specifically with a pharmaceutical company.

I'm really excited. I finally got a job in research! I just blindly submitted my resume to a center in my area a few weeks ago. I got a call on Monday to set up an interview (about 5 minutes after I accepted another position). I interviewed on Thursday and got a call on Friday morning with an offer. It's definitely different from what I had been doing, but I'm looking forward to it.

I'm really interested in this field too. Seems pretty difficult to get in to since every post I've seen requires experience.

First, let me say that I have been an RN for 13 years. I also have 2 years of past ED experience. The issue is that I have been working in specialty pharmacy UM for close to 9 years. That means I have not had a direct patient care role in quite a while. Knowing this would be an issue, I took an RN refresher, IV Certification, BLS and ACLS to make me more marketable. Unfortunately, the nurse educator said that it would be a stretch to go back into the ED as I had been out of it so long and that at this point, new grads would know more. Needless to say, I was so close and really bummed that it didn't work out. I have applied to 40 positions at FH over the last several months and have had no luck.

I'm been away from direct patient care for the last 8.5 years. I have been in utilization management for specialty pharmaceuticals most recently. I am now interested in going back to direct patient care, but am having ZERO luck so far. I was even told recently that a new grad knows more than I do after being out of the hospital so long

I've been out of the hospital setting for several years too working in specialty pharmacy UM. I have been trying to get back into the hospital system and find it to be very difficult. I was actually told very recently that a new grad knows more than me since I've been out of the hospital for so long. I am an RN-BSN of 13 years.

I'm an RN-BSN in Orlando.

What about the length of the stethoscope tubing? What is the standard length? How about 1 tube or 2? Suggestions?

mc3, How do you find these positions? I've tried the Orange and Seminole County school web sites, but haven't seen anything.

I have a similar situation too. I'm an RN/BSN for 13 years. For the last 8, I have been in specialty pharmacy UM. I now want to go back to patient care and am not having much luck. I'm not a new grad clearly, but I haven't done direct patient care in 8 years. I was just thinking today about trying out home health to try and get some skills back and then looking for hospital positions.

I went to UCF in Orlando for my BSN and there is definitely extensive papers to write.

Is anyone here getting a position or interviewing in Women's Health (L&D, Mother-Baby, etc)? I've seen programs specific to ED, Critical Care and OR, but was wondering if the possibility of Women's Health exists.

I recently contacted a recruiter at Florida Hospital in Orlando and was told that the evening diff was 16%, nights was 35%, weekends/holidays was 13% the whole shift.
