Hi everyone! Anyone mind sharing info about their interview experience?

@jmira I just found out I passed! Hope you have the same result :)

Hoping the trick is accurate! Took the test this morning and came home to find the good pop up! Fingers crossed...

Good luck to everyone!

I was told to wear scrubs because my shadow experience came immediately after the interview.

Hi everyone, I just received a job offer yesterday! I am veryyy excited but still unsure if I am going to accept. I'm not 100% sure that I'm willing to move away alone. I was hoping for some insight to help make my decision. In terms of apartments, I have heard that Raleigh sounds like the area I'm looking for. I want something a little busier and city-ish than Durham. Preferably with lots of people and nearby restaurants, bars, shopping, etc. If I'm going to be moving somewhere alone and knowing no one, I would like it to be in an area where I am likely to meet people. Any suggestions on apartments in or around downtown Raleigh? I'm also looking for something reasonably priced...

Hi everyone, I just received a job offer today! I am veryyy excited but still unsure if I am going to accept. I have a lot to consider before making such a big move (from Philadelphia).

Preferably with lots of people and nearby restaurants, bars, shopping, etc. If I'm going to be moving somewhere alone and knowing no one, I would like it to be in an area where I am likely to meet people.

FutureCruzanRN, I received your message but unfortunately cannot send direct messages? I don't have enough posts or something to allow that feature haha. But if you message me your email address, I will gladly give you some info about the interview!

Congrats everyone! Still haven't heard anything

Thanks so much for all of your help! I will be making the trip in a couple of weeks for my interview and am very much looking forward to it!

The email I got after my application was submitted said last week of September.

Thanks so much for your input! I have been thinking a lot about it and I think it's worth the trip even if it's just to see the area and get the experience. If you don't mind me asking.. is the pay sufficient for the cost of living there? I am from right outside Philadelphia and the major hospitals here pay a good bit more for starting nurses, but it's also not all that cheap to live in a large city. I just worry about the pay considering I'd have rent, utilities, groceries on top of student loan payments, spending money, and hopefully some savings left over. I really don't know much about the area but from a quick craigslist search I get the impression that apartment/townhouses are pretty reasonably priced.

So right now I'm really up in the air about whether or not I want to make the trip to interview. I know I am lucky to have this opportunity, but it would be about an 8 hour trip for me from PA. They have reserved one day only for all of the interviews, so I imagine I won't be spending much time with the manager. I also haven't decided if I'm 100% willing to relocate on my own if I were to get a job offer. I guess I hadn't really thought everything through when I applied and now I'm left to figure everything out by Monday when I need to get back to the recruiter about my interview. Anyone know anything about the neuro step down unit? That's where I'm interviewing for but I wish I had an idea of how much competition there is right now before I make such a big trip. Any input would be appreciated :)

Hi everyone, I just found out today I have an interview at the end of the month for the neuro step down unit. I am from PA so going to be taking a trip for the interview/shadow experience? Can anyone tell me a little more about the shadowing? Are you with the nurse manager or strictly following a floor nurse around for a bit? I'm just wondering what they will be expecting of me at this time. I also haven't taken the NCLEX yet. I actually have it scheduled for the day that I was given to interview, so I guess I'll be pushing it back about a week. I'm worried that it will hurt my chances -- interviewing without being licensed yet must not look too good. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Dafina, I am a newly graduated nurse and just found out I have an interview at the end of the month for the neuro step down unit! I am from PA so this is a big trip for me just to interview. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! :)
