@ruby_rocks Your private messages are full so I cannot respond to you!

You should send your application NOW if you live in CA! They can process everything and then they are just waiting on the things from your school. I graduated In june 2013. I sent my application in February 2013. I got my ATT 5 days after i graduated in June once my school processed my grades and all that. If you wait until you graduate then you have to wait for them to process everything.

@Ruby_rocks CONGRATS!!!!!! I am so excited for you!!!!!! Did they say when we will be hearing anything else back? I have been checking this thread and my messages all day to see if you heard back!!

I have not volunteered in NICU. At this point I have been offered a position on another specialty unit. My dream is NICU so I will apply like crazy again for NICU once I get experience. I am so sad not to start in my dream job, but I know this is not the end all for my path to NICU. I am in contact with a NICU director so once I have experience elsewhere I hope to be able to start the NICU path. Thank you all for your responses.

Hey Ruby_Rocks! When I interviewed she said everyone will know by the 28th. I hope you hear soon!! I think I remember you from another thread...Mary birch? I wonder why nobody posts on here. So many other threads have so many replies. Good luck! I have my fingers crossed for you!! Are you hoping for any unit or just wherever?

Has anyone else heard anything?!

Thank you all so very much!! I am very excited about starting in this specialty. Barb, Thank you so much for your response! I love the idea of an address book for information!! I wouldn't have ever thought about that. I am eager to learn little tricks to keep organized. Transitioning from a nursing student role to a new grad will be interesting, but it is the time and I really look forward to it!

Hello Everyone! I am a new grad RN. I just accepted an offer on an oncology/respiratory floor. I am pretty nervous simply because this is real. I am not a nursing student who can go back to my instructor or the nurse. I am going to be the nurse!!!! Anyways, after accepting the position I was really excited and told a few friends from my class and I was a little shocked by the reaction and honestly became a little freaked out! She told me not to have kids because of the exposure. This really concerned me simply because I am a young nurse that hasn't started a family yet. Any insight is greatly appreciated!!!!

Good luck to you as you continue your search!!

Did you ever end up hearing back? I received a call today and was offered a position!

Thank you! They called me this afternoon (thursday). I will be on Respiratory/Oncology. I was open to any shift so that didn't matter. I actually preferred to get nights simply for the differential, but I didn't express a preference. Thanks! I have been on the hunt since June!!! I was giving up!!

I just got offered a full-time nights position

Thank you! Yes I very much open to moving and leaving Southern California.

I agree about getting a foot in the door. My only concern is a 2 year commitment for something I do not have a passion for. Any suggestions on taking a position other than acute care? Such as Peds rehab? Or dialysis? Anything else?
