    UCAFblue replied to FindingmyBeta's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I applied too, and have an interview next week. I'll be doing the 2 hours of shadowing followed by a 1 hour interview, like a few of you have mentioned. I'm so nervous!! I want this so much, and...

  2. New Grad Trying for NICU

    UCAFblue posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Hello everyone! I'm a new grad (May 2013) with my BSN and have been searching for my first RN position for quite some time now. While I know I can't be too picky with the way the economy is right...

  3. New Grad Trying for NICU

    UCAFblue replied to UCAFblue's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Does anybody feel like starting out in pediatric home care would leave the door open for NICU in the future? I have a good number of classmates who got hired at a local pediatric home care agency and...

  4. I must be doing it wrong- 7 months and counting

    UCAFblue replied to Monkey Nurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You definitely aren't alone...I graduated May 2013 and still have no job. I also have no healthcare experience besides nursing school, and don't seem to know any of the right people. I feel like...

  5. New Grad Trying for NICU

    UCAFblue replied to UCAFblue's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Boratz, RN, I'll definitely keep that area in mind, but will admit I feel really unsure about it. Do they have a lot of interpreters that help with the Spanish, or do a lot of the other nurses speak...

  6. New Grad Trying for NICU

    UCAFblue replied to UCAFblue's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I am willing to go just about anywhere, but I'm not so sure how well I would do in McAllen. The violence being the main concern (I would be moving alone), and the fact that I don't speak any Spanish...

  8. New Grad Trying for NICU

    UCAFblue replied to UCAFblue's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Thanks for the new replies everyone. I've had a number of interviews since my original post, but no job offers. I have no idea what to do, no one seems willing to give me a chance. I have one...

  9. Who Has the Most Input With Multiple Interviews?

    UCAFblue posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I graduated in May 2013 and I'm still looking for my first RN job. I've had a good number of interviews, but have not had any offers so far. I've noticed that if it's not a new grad program, a lot...

  10. 1 Job Offer but got to 2nd Round Interview for dream job

    UCAFblue replied to TooProudToMention's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm a new grad too, and it sounds like I graduated around the same time as you. I don't have any job offers yet, but have found during my job searching/interviews that HeartRN13 is right....the...

  11. Who Has the Most Input With Multiple Interviews?

    UCAFblue replied to UCAFblue's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thank you so much for all of your replies! It makes sense that the panel interview would be most important, even if the manager has the final decision. If you are on a panel, what makes you want to...

    UCAFblue replied to Nurse216's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Congrats lkk0718! Yes, I've tried Denver Health a few times...they have a strange (and difficult) test that you have to take before getting an interview...I was being considered at one point, but...

    UCAFblue replied to Nurse216's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I just got called a little while ago, and unfortunately it was a "thanks, but no thanks" call. I'm really at a loss for what to do with finding a job. But good luck to everyone else, I hope you all...

    UCAFblue replied to Nurse216's topic in Colorado Nursing

    lkk0718, I was only told I was being considered for the NICU. They never mentioned anything about an overall new grad position. Do you have more than one

    UCAFblue replied to Nurse216's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I interviewed for the NICU yesterday too...got the same information that everybody else has posted. I figure we have about a 50/50 chance...not too bad I

    UCAFblue replied to Nurse216's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I'm glad I'm not the only one sep71114! It's been really difficult/frustrating finding anything, so I'm REALLY hoping Children's will work

  19. Children's Colorado New Grad Program March 2014 Start

    UCAFblue replied to Nurse216's topic in Colorado Nursing

  20. How long for ATT, test date, license.

    UCAFblue replied to Southern Magnolia's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I graduated last May, but it took about 2 weeks from when I dropped off my transcripts/application to when I got my ATT. There were test dates a couple weeks out. After I passed NCLEX, it took only...

    UCAFblue replied to Nurse216's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Does anybody know how long after interviews are complete we are supposed to hear whether or not we were selected? I feel like I remember seeing something that said it wouldn't be until late February....

    UCAFblue replied to Nurse216's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Hi everyone! I was selected for an interview for the NICU at Children's coming up on January 14th, but I have a prior commitment in a different state that same day...and was told they don't have any...

    UCAFblue replied to UCAFblue's topic in Washington Nursing

    How long did it take for you to get your full time WA RN license? I think the situation for new grads is extremely competitive everywhere....I live in Colorado, and there is next to nothing here for...
