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 it's always stressful not knowing what to expect. ...

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 now, my main focus is the NICU. I was a patient in ...

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 they are encouraging me to apply, but I worry tha...

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 I've done everything right too, but still nothing. I...

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 it and help out? NicuGal, no I'm not working now...

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 being the other. I have tried applying to places ...

No worries!! I tried again, please let me know if it didn't work.

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 interview I haven't heard back about yet, but that's re...

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 of hospitals will use 3 interviews - one with a uni...

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 hospitals don't operate with your feelings/best interes...

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 work with someone? Obviously someone who works w...

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 assume I failed that test when they changed their mi...

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 make it!

Haven't heard of anyone hearing anything except for sep71114 either. I only had 3 interviewers.

Congrats sep71114!! I hope we all hear something soon!! The waiting is horrible!

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 interview?

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 guess.

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 out.

I graduated last May and have had my license since last July...so no more NCLEX for me!! But good luck to you all who are taking it soon, I know how nerve racking it is, but you'll get through it!!

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 3 days for my license to be posted online, and the...

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. But, that seems like it would be a long time to ...

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 other interview dates/times open...my fingers are ...

I'm a new grad RN who graduated in May 2013, and I'm just now starting to get interviews. I have one coming up in Texas, and then one Washington state a few weeks later. I currently live in a compact state, so if I applied to WA for my license righ...

That's not too long. Thanks for all the info!

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 new grads. Texas is a little better, I think, bu...
