Girrrrlll I am with you! I'm in the same boat. I love my manager and my crew but the acuity of the patients as of late has me dreading coming to work every day. I am thankful that I have a job and grateful that I found my way into a residency program...

Logan_ann, Yes, they do hire ADN new grads. The starting salary we were offered was base rate of $23. There is an additional 1$ differential for BSN, $5 weekend diff and $3.25 night diff. I started in the first cohort and did not sign a contract, so...

At my hospital, the standard order is 12.5 mg phenergan IVP diluted in 10 mL of NS if the patient has an IV running, or diluted in 50 mL of NS ran over 30 minutes if they are not receiving IVF.

Hi Jbholsom! Our cohort is full for this year. There are 3 groups in total, 115 of us new grads. The starts were 8/14, 8/31 and I believe 9/14. The next opening won't be until January, but I'd keep my eyes open for that posting. There was about 1/4 ...

Hi all, I've applied to the Mayo Clinic Jacksonville new grad nurse residency program and was wondering if anyone has had recent experience with it? I see older threads that I'm sure have somewhat dated information about the program. I'm wondering w...

Hi Nursesk711! I'm on a specialty unit and couldn't be happier! It was the one unit I REALLY wanted. My husband and I settled on a 3 bedroom in Banyan Bay on San Pablo Rd. It liked the layout of the place, that it had a pool and allows pets. It's kin...

I felt EXACTLY the same way walking away from the interview for the job I have now. I was certain that I was by far and large the WORST interviewee ever. At one point, I was certain that the NM I was interviewing with was giving me a deer-in-the-head...

I just spoke with HR and there's just a few issues with the computer systems that's creating a delay in getting our offers and information to us. No biggie. I did ask about the scrubs and was told that we would be measured and fitted for them during ...

I haven't gotten the orientation paperwork yet. Did it come via mail or email?

I received the call today with all of the information regarding pay, orientation dates and times as well as some shift information during the residency program. The pay is surprisingly good and I'm super happy with what they've offered. The differen...

I'm actually in the same boat!! I plan on pursuing my degree in nurse midwifery and my minor is in women's studies. I took all but one of my required courses before entering the nursing program, otherwise, it would've been impossible to finish. I'm n...

It took me a little over a month to land my first job in a nurse residency program, but it was not without tons of legwork and rejection. I'm relocating cross-country and it's been tough to even get an interview with an out-of-state address. After ab...

Oh wow!! I didn't get any of those!! Interesting! You obviously nailed it though :-)

Hi Budra3, This particular interview session was actually a vast departure from a "traditional" interview, so it's hard to say. For our interview, it was set up similar to speed dating. We only had a few minutes to answer questions with the nurse man...

I'm downtown! Did you get the unit you wanted at Beaches??

Cheers to that!

Cheers to that

I'll PM you Amy!!

I just received a phone call that I got IN to the residency program AND the floor I wanted!! I'm so excited and happy!!!

Congratulations Amy!!!

Well, the status of my application just went to "position filled/closed". What a bummer. I really wanted that job.

I haven't heard anything as of yet either.

I'm sorry, mzrRN, you indicated you had a classmate that was offered a position, but I read from your profile that you graduated in 2005? Was your classmate a master's candidate?

mzrRN, was it good or bad news?

I haven't heard anything as of yet. I haven't emailed any of the nurse managers that interviewed me. I suppose I was under the impression that they would let me know if they were interested.
