I have worked the night shift for about a year and a half now. It was my first job. 3-4 times a week 12.5 hrs each. Never had trouble being tired and sleepy at work. They always keep us busy with looming admissions. It is during off work hours that I...

I'm a new grad about to start the night shift in a few weeks. I've never did anything in my life overnight other than sleep haha. Am I in for a rude awakening? All this talk about being sleepy while driving back home is kinda scary. You guys stay sa...

In my opinion, it doesn't matter how old you are, its a matter of how mature you are. I basically went through Nursing school similar to your situation. I was among the youngest in our group, straight out of high school. I was also one of the few guy...

Im in NY and even though I did not expect the harsh job market in here, my fellow classmates and I did fairly well in the job hunt. Most of my classmates have jobs in great hospitals with extensive orientation. It took me a few months to land an inte...

2-3 years post-grad and can't get a job? Wow, they don't even remotely come close to giving you a heads up in Nursing school. I'm in NY and its also tough here but a lot of my fellow classmates have gotten jobs via perseverance and networking. Ask yo...

Why do u think they take so much time? And any tips on how to go about asking for an update? Email or phone call?

I'm pretty much on the same boat as you. In the meantime, what can we do other than keep applying and be patient?

Wow thats awesome. Have you done their phone interview before?

did you try emailing the recruiter directly?

Right. They are more so OR/Peri-Op.

you gotta word it out ? CTU - Cardio-Thoracic Unit PACU is critical care too right?

Soo many specialties and sub specialties! Critical care in itself has so much more sub specialties. Can someone list off all the ICUs? :)

Yep, ALL new grad residencies are competitive. I hope they take a large cohort.

I like how you are keeping a positive attitude. This was a devastating thing to happen to a competent new grad nurse. Your perseverance and outlook are inspiring. The hospital doesn't know that they're missing out on a great nurse. Wish you the best ...

Hehe... one things for sure that its going to be competitive. They're not here because they're too busy with their applications :) Are all you guys from the Cali area? I'm all they way from NY. And does anybody know if they do phone interviews?

do they do phone interviews? and did anyone travel from a different state just for an interview?

Nice. How many days after you applied did you heard from them? and when is your interview?

Has anyone gotten a call back yet?

How quickly do they call you for the first interview? And has anyone heard back from sicu and neuro icu which they posted last week?

Can you guys comment about being offered the position and having to refuse it for any of the possible reasons? How does an applicant go about doing that? And what is an appropriate time frame where an applicant has to make his or her decision after g...

I think that is why big teaching hospitals have CC Fellowships or Residencies for new grad nurses. They are selecting the best among candidates that they can train and mold into excellent CC nurses. In the long run, the hospital will save a lot of mo...

I felt like Kaplan really helped me familiarize myself with the wording and types of questions of the NCLEX exam. I studied a lot of content but I felt like doing the Kaplan Qbanks and the Questions trainers 1-7 really put everything together. There ...

Congrats!

Can someone explain why this happens?
