Hi all, Im new to the site and posted this in the Pediatric forum at first. I am a 3 year Neonatal ICU nurse from Florida relocating to North Carolina. I interviewed at Mission Hospital and was extremely pleased with the unit and think it would be a...

I already had a job and moved for the job at Mission. I'm not sure how much my relocation expenses have cost so far but it's been pricey. The drive, staying in a hotel for a week, not to mention the cost of making the trip up here to interview for t...

Who do I talk to about relocation expenses? The HR coordinator? I've never had to ask about it before. I hope it's not too late!

Oh no!! Haha! I start orientation next Monday. Now I'm really excited! Sandra, I just got your message today. I actually just pulled into town in Asheville so I will be sure to message you as soon as I can answer more of your questions Crazier: did...

Good for you! Yes, you will learn tons on Float pool! A great idea for a new nurse. Will keep you updated.

Same to you! Keep me updated :) let me know how you like your floor.

I haven't gotten my orientation schedule yet but she did say hospital orientation would be all day Monday-Friday. I'm going to have to buy some clothes for that! I'm a scrubs and jeans kind of girl! I'll be on nights but the director told me I would ...

I go September 24th. I still have to give my two weeks at my work so I'm glad they had another opening at that time.

Scheduled my date today!!! I'm beyond excited. Good luck with orientation!!

Well, I got a call...missed it...called back twice...still don't know when my orientation date is! Ha. I hope they call back again today. My life has been in quite the holding pattern the past 3 weeks. Any idea if they only have orientation every 4-6...

I got my call today :) congratulations and good luck!

Crazier: I spoke with HR today and they told me they were just waiting on references to schedule my orientation date. I followed up with 3 of my references and had them re-send the survey that was e-mailed to them. I'm not sure if this information he...

Heard anything yet?

Thank you littlestbird! Will keep you updated on Mission :)

I am sorry it's taking you a while to hear back too but it definitely makes me feel better! I was thinking I slipped through the cracks. Hopefully we'll hear something today. Again, congratulations! I'll keep you updated. :)

Hi!! Congratulations on your offer! I am not sure of my orientation date. Can I ask how long it took for your background check to go through? It's been two weeks since I accepted the offer and I'm getting a bit anxious! I know there's nothing to be c...

Interesting! Please keep us updated on your findings. I have never heard of protecting TPN or lipids and I have never seen amber tubing! I am excited to bring this to our unit's research council and get some of our seasoned nurses opinions.

Thanks for your input! I have accepted the offer at Mission Hospital and am anxiously awaiting a start date. I can't wait to get started in their NICU. Seems like an awesome place to work and a gorgeous place to live :)

I haven't moved yet but when I get up there I'll let you know. :) good luck on your move as well.

Thank you Leeza! I think I'm going to go to the other interviews just to put my mind at ease that I'm making the right choice but I'm quite certain my heart is in the mountains. I was also wondering if anyone happens to know the turn over rate for nu...
