So stoked for you! Sent you a PM with the schedule :)

Sent you a PM @NurseKat

I'll send it now, I think we can message on here right?

The first two weeks will be classroom (which you've probably already gotten the schedule, I'm sorry for not replying sooner!) If not, it's 0800-1630 Monday through Friday at various locations, just let me know and I can send you a copy of mine. After that, depending on your unit, you'll be working up to 40 hours per week. My unit is 4, 6, or 12 hour shifts. I don't really know much more than that because they've changed the residency program from the last group that went, supposedly it's less classroom time and more unit time (which I'm excited about, I know classroom learning is important but it's so boring lol) Let me know what other questions I can try to answer and congrats on the NICU! I've had to go down there a couple times when we had NICU patients mom's (DIC/Severe HELLP syndrome, etc) and deliver their breast milk. The nurses/unit seems really nice!

Hi is anyone starting the residency on the 20th? I'm already a multicare employee (worked as a nurse tech & CNA) so I won't see you until the 21st but hello! I'm going to be working in Adult Critical Care/ICU

I'm looking at moving there in approximately a year or so, I graduate with my BSN in December and will have about a year experience as a nurse. Are any of you looking at working at the Children's hospital/PICU? Just looking for info on starting salaries/experiences if any of you have worked in the Peds area. The children's hospital I currently work at has an ER, Med/Surg, PICU, Surgical services, etc. The med/surg nurses can cross train into the PICU area and vice versa. Just looking to get more info if anyone had any. Thanks!!

I'm following this as we are looking to move here once my husband retires from the military in 2 years. I'll be graduating this December with my BSN and plan to work in Peds, preferably ICU, so I would have approximately 2 years experience before we move to NC. Here in WA we are able to look up contracts from all local hospitals that include pay scales through WSNA. Does NC also have this option? I tried looking on NCNA website but wasn't finding any results. Starting out here, I will make $28/hr or $32/hr with differentials/night shift pay/etc. I understand cost of living is a lot higher here, but we are wanting to buy property so trying to gauge approximately what our income will be like to see what we can afford. We're looking at the Asheville, NC area if anyone has any info/help I'd greatly appreciate it.

Is there a fb page set up?

I start in less than 2 weeks, thanks for all these tips!!

I used chegg.com. I compared the prices to Amazon and chegg was much cheaper.

Just received the news I've been accepted off the wait list!!! So excited!!!

Hi there!! I just received my acceptance letter off the wait list for spring 2015! I have 2 weeks to get everything done 😊😳, any hints? Is there a FB page? I'm so excited to start! 😃

Did you get a letter saying you're on the wait list? I turned my package in the beginning of August & haven't heard anything back

Have you heard anything?

That's awesome! Congrats!
