Hi everyone!! I had posted a while ago about an interview for s Surgical/Tele floor in NY....and I got the job. I begin May 9th, btu being out of school for almost 2 years, and not having any real nursing work experience, I feel....dumb. I still have all my old nursing school books, and my NCLEX stuff, but I was wondering if there were any books out there geared towards the Surg/Tele floors....I have no idea what I am going to experience on the floor...the manager basically said, if they are out of surgery, no matter the surgery, we get them. It's not an ICU or CCU, but the way she was talking about it...oh, and we do get overflow from other floors. I want to start on my toes; for any of you who have worked on this floor and know of any literature or anything that might be helpful, i am all ears. God Bless Everyone!!!

Thank you everyone for your assistance. I appreciate it greatly. the hospital is in binghamton, ny. anyone ever been? if so, any info you can give about it would be awesome!

Hello everyone, I am a RN,BSN; I graduated Villanova University's BSN Express Program back in 2009, got my license, and have been struggling to find a "proper" nursing job since. Finally, after thousands of rejection letters, I got my first call from a hospital for an interview - a hospital in NY. I live in Philly, and have had no luck whatsoever finding hospitals jobs....so I've been forced to look into relocation. Anyways, the interview is Saturday for a surgical telemetry floor, and I was wondering if anyone would share their experiences on this floor. Also, if anyone can help me out about relocation....share their experiences, anything like that. If I get the position (fingers cross); it'll be completely new to me. I've lived in Philly all my life, and it's rather disappointing that for the last year and a half, I haven't been able to find anything (except for agency work); not even in the tri-state area. I've researched some interview questions people have posted on here - - very helpful. Any other advice, suggestion, whatever, Im all ears. Thanks fellow nurses.
