I am a new grad nurse (graduated in May!) and got my first job working in a pediatric long term care facility and I love it! They are very open to hiring new nurses and great at training them. The vents and g-tubes and trachs are scary at first but after a few weeks, everything starts to come together and they become less intimidating. I would say GO FOR IT!!! Apply for the job, take the job! If you want to work with children it is one interesting way to do so and they are fabulous! Good luck!

Hey there - No, I didn't get an interview. I was applying for the pediatric departments and do not have any pedi experience (yet) and the candidates they were hiring already had some pedi experience. Good luck!

Thanks for the response! Can I ask how long the application/interview process took? I keep checking the status of my application online waiting to see if it's progressed in the process! The job posting deadline was March 22nd. Did it take more than a month for them to contact you? Also, how is the pay for new grads? Anything you think would be good for me to know about the hospital?? :-) Any help would be great! I really want this job and they are my first choice!!!

Hey there! Did you accept the offer to the Duke SNIP program? I just submitted my application for the 2011 program and was wondering if you had any information about it. What speciality did you get onto? Any information would be great! Thank you!
