Is anybody else looking to apply to Piedmont Hospital's RN Residency Program but unable to find the application posting? I received an email from them last week stating the application be posted on July 13th as "RN Residency Program." It also states ...

Hello! I'm a new grad NICU RN and am trying to decide between 2 textbooks. Does anyone have the "Handbook of Neonatal Intensive Care" by Merenstein and Gardner, or "Core Curriculum for Neonatal Intensive Care Nursing" by Verklan and Walding? If so, w...

Thanks everyone! I'm going to buy Merenstein's book. My orientation doesn't include lectures so it's up to me to ask questions at work and then go home and read.

Thanks!

Thank you!

I wish I could give you some good advice but I'm in a similar situation. Received a verbal offer and a month later I still don't have the official offer letter. I've just received an offer from another hospital with higher pay, but it's not my 1st ch...

Thanks! I graduated at the beginning of this month. I'm not sure if you have to already have graduated to be offered a job, but I know you don't have to be an RN yet. I applied before I graduated but my interview was after I graduated. My job offer i...

Thank you!

At my interview I was told I would hear back from them in 2 weeks. However, they called me less than a week later to offer me a position in the CCU! :yeah:I know they are still interviewing though.

Has anyone interviewed yet? Did they ask a lot of clinical questions? My critical care interview is coming up and I'm getting nervous!

Has anybody heard what the interview questions are like? I'm nervous about potential clinical questions. I have an interview coming up for the critical care program.

You apply to the RN Residency Program and within the application you rank 3 areas of the program you are interested in.

I just got a call from Piedmont saying the nurse managers would like to interview me for the RN Residency Program. There's still hope! I guess the process is taking longer than they thought it would.

Will do! Let me know if you hear anything too. Good luck!

Mine says the same :/ I know 4 other people who have applied and they haven't heard anything either. Interviews were supposed to be from July 30-August 10th so I'm kind of just assuming I wasn't selected. Graduating in August is a tough time for find...

Thanks for the advice everyone! I appreciate it!

Hi everyone! I am about to be a new grad and have an interview coming up for a Mother/Baby position and a NICU position. What kinds of questions have you all been asked that I can prepare for? I've prepared for the general strengths, weaknesses, conf...

I just checked their website and it is finally posted! I think I found it on the 2nd page of "Nursing Jobs" postings. Good luck everyone!

Let us know if they call you back, pretty please! I might send an email to that "nursing development" email address.

It won't let me reply to you since I haven't posted much on this site yet, but I did get your message. Thanks for letting me know!

Not sure how to PM you on here but I sent you a friend request on here

Very true, but I'm finding most hospitals in Atlanta right now will mostly only hire new grads into their residency programs. Most of them require a 2 year contract. Some even require a 3 year contract.

I have heard about the 2 year contract. I haven't heard anything about how much it costs to break it. I do know that other hospitals allow you to break a contract if you pay them back. That would not be very fun if someone got fired and then had to p...

Thanks for the advice! I've already been talking with my preceptors about what they feel is the greatest needs, but so far we haven't really come up with anything (which is why I decided to see if I could find some topics on here and see if they are ...

Hi everyone! I am currently completing my senior practicum in the NICU. I have to do an in service unit teaching project at some point. Does anybody have some suggestions for topics that would be helpful for NICU nurses? I want to talk about somethin...
