  2. PICU Interview - Panicking

    tinybbynurse replied to Spoiler's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I really don't think any interview actually consists of in depth clinical questions ...they usually just ask situational / personality questions that gage if you're a good fit for the unit in terms...

  3. who believes persistence is key?

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    One and only

  4. Does the long wait mean anything?

    tinybbynurse replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You prob should've just stood back since you were shadowing. But I don't think that's why you haven't heard back ....I don't really think it has anything to do with it in my opinion ....not unless you...

  5. How do nurse recruiters pick which applicants to contact for interview?

    tinybbynurse replied to ala080283's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I personally think HR / recruiters can go too much by the book when selecting candidates to pass on to the NM. If you don't get selected the first time around, I believe persistence is the key. If...

  6. Too soon to leave?

    tinybbynurse replied to %D#2's topic in General Nursing

    It's not too soon. Especially if you land a job you think you will love. Just give your proper notice so you get a good reference ...and I've been in a situation with a bad job where I gave as little...

  8. Phone Interview for NICU!

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Well no news yet .... I don't know if maybe contacting prospective employees is just a drawn out process because they're hiring because nurses are retiring? (I was told by HR that is why they're...

  9. how long did it take you to end up in the NICU?

    tinybbynurse posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    This question is especially for those who did NOT start out in the nicu. Unfortunately we're not all as lucky how long did it take you to get there after graduating or after deciding at some point...

  10. Should I let my interviewer know that I had failed the NCLEX twice before passing?

    tinybbynurse replied to nursechansey's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I personally think it's rude that your intervirwer even said anything about you "really wanting to be a nurse". After going thru nursing school you MUST want to do this! It's too much work blood...

  11. thank you email post phone interview? but....

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks! It was the nurse recruiter, but I will Def email her in the am. And hopefully I'll progress to an interview with the nurse manager soon after, and will Def email her as well after if

  14. thank you email post phone interview? but....

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    And I have considered that maybe she doesn't want people emailing her during the phone interview process if she didn't offer contact info ....but on the other hand, you have to be a go getter in this...

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Yes, Ilsaj - it's thru HR then you go thru the hiring manager if selected. I did the phone interview...it'll be a few days until phone interviews are done by HR then the hiring manager will select who...

  16. Too soon to apply for dream specialty?

    tinybbynurse posted a topic in Medical-Surgical

    Wasn't sure whether to post here or the nicu forum. I've been on a med surg unit for 6 months coming up in January. I will have been off of orientation for about 4 of those 6 months. Every so often I...

  18. Phone Interview for NICU!

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    No its actually a hospital right up the street from me. For whatever reason, this facility's hiring process consists of either a phone or video interview first, then a face to face one. I don't know...

  19. NICU TRAVELER

    tinybbynurse replied to nicurn2012's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I can't currently speak for NICU travel nursing but as for travelers in general ... on my med surg floor we get a LOT of travelers and they all get equally difficult assignments as normal staff. Maybe...

  20. how long did it take you to end up in the NICU?

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Well guys I'm 6 months into med surg and I applied to the NICU....supposed to expect a call soon for an interview to be set up! So it never hurts to start applying around the 6 month mark I'd say! I...

  21. Too soon to apply for dream specialty?

  23. Too soon to apply for dream specialty?

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I think I will ...can't hurt to apply right? I always could again in the future if nothing happens. At least my name would keep popping up and it'd show I was interested in this unit alot. I also...

  25. Too soon to apply for dream specialty?

    tinybbynurse replied to tinybbynurse's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I'm trying to look it up!! Our system for searching policies online stinks and is difficult to navigate. I don't recall them telling us at orientation. I want to ask a coworker but don't want word to...
