I know this thread is pretty dead but is anyone going to the New Grad Luncheon Feb. 19th??

Hey Becka29!! So sorry for the long delay, it's been crazy holiday season! I don't know that mine was anything super special but I have worked with kids quite a bit so I put everything kid related, I lived overseases working for an international pediatric philathropy organization and they seemed to really love that since global healthcare is huge for them. I also speak spanish and since their patient population is largely Hispanic. I would suggest taking some spanish so you can at least be conversational! I had my PALS, ACLS and BLS. Also I have my PHN and am certified in the NIHS stroke scale. Lastly, I precepted in their PICU so that definitely helped out! I don't know if any of that is helpful but I hope so! Good luck!!

Hey PEDSNURSEPASSION, thanks so much for the info. i PM'ed you :) and CONGRATS!

This thread seems pretty dead haha hopefully people are getting calls!! I'm wondering if there's anyone else who is looking to move out there? I currently live in Mission Viejo but looking to relocate up to Pasadena area, curious if anyone has any suggestions. Merry Christmas everybody!

I have decided to say no to Vanderbilt as i was offered a PICU position at my dream hospital in California. It was a tough and bittersweet decision as I know Vanderbilt is incredible as are all of you. It's been so encouraging to see you all encouraging one another and I know you'll be a great cohort of new grads!!! God bless all of you!!

Got an offer for the PICU!!!! Has anyone else gotten offers yet???

CONGRATS EVERYONE!!! I just got accepted to pediatric critical care track!!!

got a call back for the second interview with the PICU and the interview is JUST with staff RN on the unit!! So excited but also majorly intimidating! Good luck to everyone!

Oh so exciting ajgk23. Hopefully that means I get to meet you! I'm at 2 :) Best of luck!!!

Congrats to everyone who has gotten invitations so far! I was also invited for the speed interview for the PICU. I go in THIS Thursday, crazy!!! But so excited! Has anyone heard from BMT/ONC?? I've got friends waiting on those units Good luck to everyone! And each unit goes at its own pace so don't be concerned if you haven't heard yet. I know my friend didn't get a call from the ED till mid-November last year!

Does anyone else interview on the 28th??

I interview the 28th!!! Flying out from Cali. Can't wait!

The drag and drop are just so vague so I never know!! I just did Kaplan and that's it!

Just found out this morning, I PASSED!!!! Thanks to each of you for the encouragement, now to find me a job

Thanks to all of you!! I'm just waiting it out but your words are encouraging, thank you for taking a moment to make me breathe a little easier
