Hey Abstract, I think you're the only one like me. My unit is a bit overstaffed thats why they only have one position available.

Hard question to answer because each manager is so different as to what they're looking for. General rule is to be yourself and have lots of confidence. Personality is key because they want to know if you could fit in. I dont think GPA is important b...

Thats what they told us during orientation.

WOw! 120 new grads got accepted onto the new grad program. Only 1 for MICU!

Starting my orientation next week! Seems like MICU is the only unit starting early. I'm the only external applicant it looks like and the other 4 are internal apps. FYI for those whos going to do their physical....occupational health(CHS) is INSIDE ...

I think you still have plenty of time. If the manager told you that then I think you should wait. I start in the third week of January so my physical is early. I'm not from LA and I'm still looking for a place right now. Its pretty expensive lol.

I called them to set up an appointment last week. I'm doing my other stuff on that day also like fingerprints etc.

For those who got offers, when are you guys starting? mine is the 3rd week of january.

Congrats all!! you all deserve it!!

Congrats!!!

My UD to me that he'll be sending out employment papers on monday but I haven't gotten anything yet. Maybe they're rethinking about hiring? with the budget meeting etc? i'm scared lol.

For those who got offers, have you started your employment paperwork yet?

Does anyone know what happens after the 3months of preceptorship? Do you get promoted to full-time employment?

I have a BSN, 3.6gpa (nursing), 3.3 cumulative, no cna experience, but lots of tutoring and leadership experiences. I have a strong philosophy of nursing which was stated in my cover letter. I did not spend hours on the internet looking for cookie-cu...

Found out a day after the second interview.

Majesticred: when do you begin? mine is the third week of Jan. Not sure if all of the new grads start the same general orientation.

WOot!! i got a job offer in the MICU RR.

Did you guys have second interviews?

Congrats! you can rest easy and enjoy the holidays LOL

Did my second interview today for MICU RR. Toured the unit and interviewed with the CNS and UD. They ask pathophys, medication questions and I got stumped on some of them. So I would recommend reviewing your patho and meds for the unit you're applyin...

Pinklady: I read it on the previous cohort's discussion post. Not exactly sure about the start date but he said probably in february. We'll find out Tuesday!! ahh so nervous. Here's what he wrote me: "After the second interview offers of employment ...

pinklady: did you ask him anything any details?

I think each unit varies because each UD is different. MICU is different and fast because they hire new grads 4 times a year. Each cohort has a 3 month orientation, thus 4 times a year. The UD told me he'll be taking another cohort at the end of janu...

From what I read from the last cohort, they do job offers right after the second interview but i'm not 100% sure. I'll let you know tuesday! :)
