I work in an ICU setting in the nights. My patient who is intubated was on a Fentanyl drip at the rate of 150 mcg, for the whole shift. Just at the end of the shift since I had to turn my patient i increased the dose to 200mcg. After I finished tur...

Hi, I graduated in August 2009 and finally I got an interview for a large teaching hospital. It is for the Surgical ICU where I completed my senior clinical preceptorship. The Nurse Manager and the Unit manager will be interviewing me. I researched ...

It started today.:)

I am not sure why you got interviewed three times. There was just one interview with the Nurse Manager and she is the one who notified me about the job.

Yes, readytowork 2010 , they did call my references a while ago. You should hear from them soon, sounds like they have started notifying candidates about their decision. Goodluck to you as well.

I just got an offer for the Critical Care Program at VMC, YAY!! I am so relieved.. Finally I will start to work as a NURSE !!!!

Hey readytowork2010 My interview was an hour long and I did get a chance to ask a few questions about the Critical Care Program. The interview felt very long, and tiring. How was your experience?

I received a rejection email today, bummer!!!

Hi CC918 , Have you heard anything from Stanford? I have not received any email and my status has been the same. If final interviews are going to be next week, I think they should notify us about their decision. It is a stressful wait.!!! Let me kn...

Havent heard anything as yet, but I have the same status as CC918 so I am not exactly sure what that means. We will all know soon.

Congrats !!! Nursetobe1975, you must be feeling so relieved. Now you can completely focus on job hunting.

nursetobe1975, Goodluck for the NCLEX, let us know how it goes. You will have the title of RN, BSN in front of your name soon. YAY!!!!

Hey Iphoneuser, that is great news. congratulations !!! Did you do your clinical rotations or preceptorship at Stanford. Let us know how it goes.

YES CC918, We were in the same building but did not get a chance to see any other candidate apart from the ones who interviewed with me since the entrance and exits were different.

nursetobe1975, Sorry for the late reply. My interview was this morning at 9 am and I think it went pretty well. Just relax and be yourself. Goodluck to you as well.

To those who interviewed what was the panel like? I am preparing a list of questions to ask them and I was wondering if all of them were nurses or were they all from different units in the hospital like Director Of Education, Nurse educator, Doctors ...

Thanks for letting me know. Goodluck to you as well, I hope we all get jobs soon !!!

Also, the recruiter was very silent when I did my phone interview too. It is not a bad sign. This is their job and they want you to talk so they can assess. They are only listening since they want to hear you talk and also check your critical thinkin...

iPhoneuser, I had a classmate who was in the same boat as you. She called the same recruiter who interviewed her on the phone. The recruiter immediately checked her file and told that she was rejected, so I dont see any harm in calling and finding ...

Iphoneuser, My application status says,"Application in Review" , I am not sure what it means by New Grad.

To those who interviewed today, how was the interview in general? is it mostly clinical scenarios or situational/ behavioral. I am getting really nervous, cant wait to be done ! Any tips or suggestions?

Hey reb3b.... Be confident, and think positive before you go for the interview. Think about all the strengths you have and SMILE!!!

I am a recent BSN grad and i have a panel interview next week. This is my first time doing a panel interview and I was wondering what I should expect in terms of the interview procedure. The panel consists of 5 - 6 people and they will be interviewi...

Thanks for the info, but if each candidate is asked the same question and if you happen to have a similar answer, is that a problem. I know it cant be exactly similar but some standard questions can have a few repetitive words./answers. Also, if t...

Hi, I have a BSN and apart from clinical rotations and Volunteer experience I do not have any experience in the hospital setting.
