Hello nursing people, I am using this website to see if anyone has any advice for a new grad who has been given the option of working at two different facilities. I have been offered a position in Twin Falls, Idaho at St. Luke's on the Cardiopulmonary unit and also been offered a position in Fort Collins, Colorado at Poudre Valley Hospital on the Orthopedic unit. What would a new grad be exposed to in these positions? I am looking for any advice from people who have experience at either of these facilities or either of these units. I didn't get a ton of exposure on a cardiopulmonary or orthopedic unit while doing rotations and want to be sure I'm making a decision I will be happy with and able to further my career as a nurse if either unit isn't perfect for me. I had a face to face interview with Fort Collins and really enjoyed the town and employees but had a phone interview with Twin Falls (they seem to also be a good group of people but town is much smaller). I feel lucky to have been given a choice and for all those out there still looking, stay positive and you'll get your foot in the door. Thanks in advance for any input. -Craig

Alternate #3 and I got an email saying I was in

I guess they have been sick in the office and Won't be contacting people until "sometime next week" (spring break). I don't understand why it's been taking so long since they had a contract deadline as of last Friday the 7th but who knows. Happy waiting people.

Heyoooooo, so I am the #3 alternate on the wait list and have been doing a great job of harassing the advisors for new news. I called on Friday (the deadline to accept or decline) and ------------- said the would possibly be making calls Monday or Tuesday. As I am extremely impatient I decided to give another call Monday evening to find out that the office was "slammed" and hasn't got around to sorting through all the letters so would most likely not be makin calls to the alternates until later this week.... So the wait continues.... AGAIN! Bah humbug

Hey there roro, let me start off by saying flagstaff is the worst city in the US. Full of dirty hippies and bums. The program takes too long and the mountain air sucks! Don't do it!!!! With that being said I am a Flagstaff local and #3 on the wait list hoping to get in. Would appreciate one less person getting in haha good luck choosin and hopefully I sneak in with or without you

Hi there everyone, I, like you all have been nervously waiting a reply from NAU. I got my letter today, so if you haven't checked your mail yet, get moving! Unfortunately, I am #3 on the alternate list and therefore the wait game begins. Don't want to be an ass, but damn I hope 3 people drop out! Anyways, best luck to you all and hopefully i will be joining you in Summer of 2014
