Hi all, So I have a bit of a dilemma. I am currently from CT and am registered to take my NCLEX here in two weeks (the 17th), since I didn't have any job prospects at the time. However, I have, since registering for my exam, had two job interviews, both in separate states. One was in FL and I would need my licensure by July 30th. The other one I believe I can wait until August to have my license (but still out-of-state). I'm almost 100% sure I wouldn't have time to get my CT license, and then apply for license by endorsement in time for the FL job. I'm worried about the timing with all the BONs and was just wondering if I should cancel my current exam, apply for licensure within the specific state (for example FL), get my ATT in that state and reschedule my exam? I'm afraid that this even may take too long since FL has such a complicated process. I heard that I could switch BONs with pearson vue but this is before you receive your ATT (I've already received mine from CT). Does anyone have any experience with this and could help me out? It's stressing me out big time!!!!

I just found out I got an interview to the pediatric track - so excited as well!! I've been looking at other posts about this program and some people have been saying they care about volunteering. I don't volunteer in a hospital but am heavily involved with community service at my school (i.e. Mission trips, Habitat for Humanity, Make-A-Wish Foundation). Is it possible this could be used against me after the interview? I love community service and volunteering but also have a demanding academic schedule and babysit several days a week.

That seems very strange about the medical units, I feel like that would be the best place to put new grads since they are usually best for understanding basic nursing practice. I talked with the woman in HR and she happily put me on adult oncology, where I have much more experience, than somewhere like the NICU. I do agree that it doesn't seem fair that they would only put us on one unit, even if there isn't a good chance to get hired there. They should let us at least have a chance on another unit of sorts! I don't understand how it lasts all day if we can only be on one unit.

Hi all, I would love some input from someone who knows a bit about how Georgetown works. I was accepted to New Grad Day and am currently interviewing in the NICU after being moved from pediatrics. I have little experience with it but fell in love during my OB clinicals, and did my internship in adult onco. Because I was moved from peds, I'm debating about moving from the NICU to adult oncology due to lack of NICU experience and I'm assuming it's a popular choice for new grads. Any advice if I should switch to get experience, or should I stay with what I like? Thank you so much! I appreciate it!
