I'm so sorry. That is frustating to wait this long just to hear a no. Hoping i get a positive call this upcoming week! Best of luck to u in find a job:)

Hi AnastasiaK, Did the UD for SICU ever get back to you after you had called her back? Just wondering if they have started making calls yet.

Hi AnastasiaK, No phone call yet! What time did she call you? Good luck I hope she makes all her calls today:)

MissE, Did u have more than one interview? I don't know if our unit director will be doing other interviews the 29/30th. Other ICUs have made some of their selections already.

PatteRN, I can't reply to private messages because I have not posted 15 times yet. I am confused if ur interview is for CT ICU or stepdown med/surg. I had thought they did their ICU interviews on the 9th. Unfortunately I don't think it's fair for me to disclose my interview questions because everyone on the 9th did not have anyone to help us prepare. All I can say is be confident and be yourself! My unit director may have asked different interview questions. If I were u I would read through the last few pages on all nurses looking for any posts that people posted specifically on the CT ICU and their interview. Hope this helps and good luck! Lmk if u have any more questions or if you can figure out how to email me a message instead of sending a private message!

Hi MissE, I interviewed for Liver Transplant ICU. Still waiting to hear. Have you heard anything? I am hoping we hear Monday.

No phone call yet!

dont freak. I do not think anyone will get a phone call until the end of this upcoming week. Im guessing Thursday/Friday:)

I applied October 3rd to cardiothoracic icu, liver transplant icu, and micu. My application status still says "Online assessment completed" and "all required documents received." I just got an email today from the recruiter saying that I will be getting a link to submit my reference's information online so they can complete a survey. Getting pretty excited:) Good luck everyone!

Thankyou everyone so much for the encouragement and input. I will see where I get placed for my preceptorship as it is out of my hands!

I dont know I just feel like those that are hired to the ICU have the highest gpa and its the most competitive. I agree though with the proper training I would be equipped for the ICU or ER. Maybe its just a false believe I have in my head!

Hello, I am a nursing student at the Mayo Clinic/ASU BSN program. I will be graduating in December and my dream is to go on to become an Acute Care Nurse Practitioner! With my preceptorship coming up and my first job, I don't know if the ER or ICU will look better when applying for an ACNP school. I really want to work in the ER, but I have heard through other nursing students that if you want to get into ACNP school they only take nurses with ICU experience. I don't know if I am smart enough to work in the ICU and ER seems to fit my personality and fast paced mentality more. Is this true? Or would they also take someone with just ER experience? Any advise will be helpful! Thankyou!
