Ugh the wait is killing me... I did a phone interview for CVICU and have heard zippo since. Is that a bad sign since they haven't called me in for a personal interview? Anyone else heard anything more from CVICU?

Yeah I have a phone interview because I'm in he Bay Area. I thought it was very considerate of them to not expect us to come up with the money just yet to fly down for an interview :) I hope you all get calls for interviews soon!

I have a phone interview tomorrow for the CVICU at 4:30. Those of you who also have interviews when are you scheduled? Just curious :)

As a new grad nurse I had many many nurses tell me I should not start in L&D or PP, because I would be stuck there. I decided to do my last semester in Peds Cardiology and guess what I've been placed in a category that won't allow me to apply to ...
