Thx everyone....

And with a peer interview its about how to show that u can easily adapt to become a part of the team or how well u work in team? Is that the goal with peer interviews?

Ok so at this point im going to brush up bringing my best qualities out during the interview plus my usual professional attire. Got it! I really enjoyed interviewing with unit manager the first time around and REALLY feel that this unit is a good fit for ME. Just want them to feel the same, ive been on several interviews this mo and havent felt as ecstatic after leaving the interview as I had after this one. WISH ME LUCK...KEEP ME IN YOUR PRAYERS. THX in advance .

Ok so just from these few responses, Im gonna go with what I knew ws right, just wanted to do something to stand out a little besides my qualifications. DONUTS AND SCRUBS are def out the window just like I thought. Just needed to hear it from other fellow nurses. I appreciate everyone......really.

@ wanttobe, youve def got a point about bringing in outside food, thx.

@ Tait, thtz too funny lol. I apologize for the typos guys, typing from my phone so please excuse. Any more thoughts on this. Thx to all that have replied, so helpful.

Hi guys, please help! Going to a 2nd interview on Med Surg Unit at a hospital. Because it is nurses that i will b working elbow to elbow with, wanted to know if 1) Its approp to wear scrubs to blend in w my potential coworkers and relax the interview a bit and 2) Its an AM interview, could i bring in donuts for the girls or would i b looked at as a suck up? Please someone reply, it would b most helpful. Just need ur thoughts on this. Thx

Just wondering if any one works or hs worked for Preferred Healthmates in Nj, if so, care to share?

Good eve to all. I will b starting a position at Univ of Penn hospital next week and wonder if anyone can offer some pros and cons plus any experiences with being employed by them. The position at hand is on a medsurg/tele floor and I am truly excited. Any input would be greatly appreciated. I too am a new grad that hs been doing pediatric homecare since April.

Anyone have any info on Holy Cross Hospital in Silver Springs MD? Such as pay, working conditions etc. I would be relocating fr Nj so any and all info is helpful.

Anyone heard of Epic which develops software for hospitals. If so, can you give me any info on it?

I wouldn't mind takin a look at ur resume....not a problem.

@mtshevlin I was totally unaware that I sounded arrogant, I though more so just excited than anything b/c I know how hard it is out here to land a position. If you are not able to be receptive of people trying to give ideas, log off. U never know what peice of information that may be helpful to someone even it has not helped u. It just might not apply to you that's all. This is ALLNURSES right, "nurses helping nurses." @ Paco386 message me if I can be of any assistance in you endeavors. Good luck to all.

Dec 09 BSN grad, Holy Family Univ Philadelphia PA, landed a job as well through prayer only......

Well considering the job shortage for new grads, I was able to land an interview at John Hopkins in MD and Cooper in Camden NJ. I got job offers for both but decided to go with Cooper in their Critical Care Unit for new grads. I graduatedin Dec 09 but now I just have to pass my boards. LISTEN GUYS, THERE ARE JOBS OUT THERE. I started my job search in October, two months before graduation. I think what helped me the most was an impeccable resume PLUS cover letter. Do not try to skimp on the COVER LETTER because you may be passed over due to it. I specialize in writing resumes on the side so I knew just how to format and what to put in it. THANK GOD. I was told by some that my resume looked professionally done. Next, register with a site like Indeed.com or careerbuilder and have an alert emails sent to you every day that SPECIFY new grads positions. I'm tellin ya I got about 5-10 a day. Also, if it states experience required DO NOT APPLY, if it states experience preferred then DO APPLY. Some jobs sent to me were 10 miles and no more than 30 miles away from me but they were NEW GRAD positions. Remember a beautifully written cover letter and resume gets you noticed and in the door, start with that first. GOOD LUCK to all and reme,ber tghere are jobs you just have to be unique in your approach and slither through the cracks. Oh by the way, the position at Cooper was not even posted on their website but I took initiative to call their HR and ask. They told me no not right now maybe later and 1 mos later they called me for an interview. I am truly blessed. Be patient.
