Early July for the panel interview, HR interview was about mid-June.

I heard back from the nurse recruiter today (via email), luckily I am selected for the offer! I am really excited and felt so blessed:)!!! They have two start dates in Sep, and one in early Oct, you can choose (from these three dates) what works best for you. I don't have more details yet, I am told that I will be getting more updates next week. Best wishes to everyone who applied for this opportunity! I know we all have worked so hard, and this journey to the first RN job can be really tedious, but you gotta believe that things will all work out!!!

Good luck to everyone!

allyx226, I received the same email invitation for the OR Residency Program, but I am not sure if I should attend this or not. I am from out of state.....and if this is not an interview, just giving applicants some info about the program, would this be worth it...umm? Anyone else receiving this too?

Hi Isabelle49 and plinytheRN Thank you so much for all the input!!! It's very lucky that I could receive comments directly from nurses who work at OLOL. As a new grad with 0 years of experience, I completely understand the frustration and how difficult it is to land a nursing job:cry:. I still can't make a final decision yet because I am waiting to hear back from other hospitals, hopefully I will find out what to do very soon....I really need to get back to the HR. plinytheRN, I do have a few more questions about OLOL (related to the floor I the got offer) I am new to this site so I can't use the PM system, do you mind giving me your email so we could chat a bit when you have a free moment? my email: [email protected] . It would be very helpful if I could have a bit more insight!! But no pressure if you can't, I know you must be very busy and tired from work. Again, thanks a lot for the info and I wish the best to you :).

Hi everyone, I am a new grad nurse and got a job offer from OLOL. I am from out of state and I really need some good opinion on whether I should accept this offer and begin my RN career there. I understand that the new grad job market is very tough now so I feel blessed to have this opportunity. But I really don't know a lot about this hospital (ie. are nurses happy/satisfied, work atmosphere, teamwork, supporting management? these are what I cared the most & I heard the turnover rate is high:no:!). I am surprised that this offer came so quickly. I applied for the RN resident position about 2 weeks ago, only had a phone interview with the manager + couple nursing staff on the unit (it's kinda unusual that they don't do face to face interview, and I didn't get a chance to see the unit, which I really want to.....). I was told few days later that I got the job. Now, it's time to decide. I really need some advises & if anyone has any input or heard anything about this hospital? I also need some suggestions on Baton Rouge's safe neighborhood, if I do accept the offer, I will need to hunt for housing. Please, any comments would be so appreciated!!! Thank you:)
