Thank you so much! The position is actually for a Sickle Cell Clinic! I plan on talking up my school nurse experience, especially about time management and critical thinking skills. The interview/shadow is on Monday!

I have applied for a specialty care RN position with my local children's hospital. I have 6 months of Med-Surg on an adult renal/urology floor and 7 months as a school nurse. I wanted to know if anyone has worked at a pediatric specialty care center? Is it considered an ambulatory center? The work hours would M-F 8:00-4:00pm. I am praying that I get an offer especially since I have always wanted to work with this healthcare organization (CHOA).

Hi! I took my NCLEX on a Friday but my license wasn't posted until that Monday. I paid for my unofficial results on PearsonVue that were posted on that Sunday. Good Luck!

Thank you!

I am a new grad nurse that has been working on a Med-Surg Renal/Urology floor. Some backstory: I had applied and interviewed with Davita in February. I was offered a position, and I tried to decide between Davita and a new grad residency program at a Magnet hospital. I went with the Magnet hospital against my better judgment. Now, I am 3 months in, and every time I work, I am reminded that I am not interested in working at the hospital, especially bedside. One good thing is about working on the floor is that I have received training in administering Peritoneal Dialysis and gotten some insight into what hemodialysis nurses do on the hospital level. Is it possible that Davita will consider me as an applicant with my new experience even though I turned down the offer?

Thank you "nursy". I like what you said about being direct and honest with her. In the short time that I have worked with her, it seems like she would be more responsive to that approach instead of beating around the bush. I just wanted to make sure that I professionally approach the matter especially starting in my career. I like the healthcare organization and I would hate for me to do something that would cause me to be blackballed.

Thank you so much mrssunday for your input and thank you for the warm welcome! As someone coming from the teaching field to nursing, I had to remind myself that my first year teaching was a rough one. I pushed through and I taught for 10 years. I had to tell myself that I should make it through this year. I don't think she is intimidating but I will admit my fear is burning bridges. I'm going to try to be a team player and hopefully lessen the blow LOL. I will also use the comments you said when I talk to her. Thank you!

I am a new grad employed with a wonderful healthcare organization. I am in a nurse residency program that stipulates that we can transfer to another unit or another hospital within the organization after our first year. I am nearing the end of my first year and even though I have learned so much in my unit (Med-Surg Renal/Urology), I really would like to explore opportunities in another unit specifically Women Services (Mother/Baby, NICU, or L&D). My unit manager is nice but she has already stated to previous nurse residents that she does not like to lose nurses on her unit and does not think it is fair for a nurse to leave her unit after a year. I have even heard that she will block people from leaving. How should I approach her concerning my desire to try another unit without making it seem like I am disrespecting her? Honestly, if I had known her feelings on nurses leaving her unit after a year, I probably would have been a little more hesitant about accepting an offer on this floor.

I have emailed her this morning. I'm going to check and see if I received a response. Thank you!

I am scheduled to do my interviews tomorrow. Did you guys receive the link the day before or day of the interviews? I received an email stating I'm signed up for the interviews but I still haven't received the links.

Thank you so much! So I just need to be patient LOL. I had originally talked with the recruiter the week of Feb. 8th and at that time I hadn't taken the NCLEX ( I was taking it on the 12th). So we had agreed that I would call her after I had my results and license. We talked again yesterday just as a follow up on salary and she said would send my information the clinical managers. Congratulations!

I am new graduate that is interested in working in dialysis. I have to talk with a recruiter with Davita and the recruiter stated that she will send my application to the clinical team to set up an interview. From anyone's experience in the hiring process, how long does it take to hear from the clinical managers? I don't know if this is new graduate impatience (it's okay to let me know LOL), but I would like to start sometime in the next month.

Thank you so much! I did not realize that it would take this long to process everything. I would have applied early but we were told we had to wait until our degree was posted, understandably.

I graduated from my school, in GA, in on December 11th and submitted my nursing application to the board on December 15th. The only thing I left for the board to check is my college transcripts which they have had since January 10th. I'm starting to get frustrated because it feels like other people are getting their ATT and scheduling NCLEX and they applied after me. What else can I do to get them besides calling to just process my transcript and send me my ATT? Everything I call I get the same response that it will take up to 21 days to process it.

I am interested in pediatric dialysis too. I'm getting ready for my last semester of nursing school and I have developed an interested in kidney diseases and how they affect other areas of the body. I also love pediatrics so I would love to combine the two.
