Hello everyone! I'll be graduating at the end of October (odd date, I know) with my BSN from an accelerated second degree program. I was applied to JHH for a new nurse position (med/surg) and I was invited for an interview! I am extremely nervous b...

Hello Everyone! I would like to invite everyone who applied to the upcoming MS WHC RN program, or who applied to a previous residency program to post here. For those who previously applied and interviewed, do you have any interview tips? For those wh...

Excellent example of a cover letter, MurseCumberbatch2b! I agree! The cover letter should address how the hospital's mission and values align with your own, and how your previous experience demonstrates your capacity to contribute to them. And as a n...

I'm sorry that you haven't had a call back.... They're not strict about having a bsn, but they have guidelines for hiring nurses with adn's. The position that I applied for states: "Bachelors Degree from an Accredited School of Nursing preferred. ...

mermaid_rn, Thank you! That was really helpful! I just started studying for the NCLEX, so I'm doubly nervous. You make a great point on JHH being a teaching hospital- its one of the reasons that I want to work there!

Thank you for the advice, kataraang! Good luck on your interview! It sounds like you will be a wonderful nurse.

johnsonmichelle, I applied twice. When I first applied in August, I called the nurse recruitment office and I was told that they generally don't respond to applicants until they are within 2 months of their graduation date. I later applied in Septe...

You're welcome! Becoming a CNA would be a great way to get your foot in the door of a hospital. It will give you an opportunity to prove yourself, and make connections. You will likely be hired after you pass the NCLEX.

Hello! I realize that your thread is several months old. If you are still interested... If you have less than a year of experience, apply to Clinician I positions. The recruitment team will follow- up with you from there, if they are interested. Th...

I took the CNA course with the American Red Cross of the Chesapeake in Baltimore, MD before I started nursing school, 72 hours of classroom work and 42 hours of training. They have day, evening, and weekend classes. I would contact them with your que...

Congratulations, Mocapoca!!! I received my participant email at the same time! This is such a blessing. Thank you for sharing the Facebook link.

CDUBRN, which contract are you referring to? What did you sign? Did you recieve an acceptance email?

I'm curious, what does the participation email say? Im still anxiously awaiting mine. My contract was signed by Lisa on August 27th, but that I'm still very nervous about the process

I submitted the supporting documents on August 6. Lisa signed my contract yesterday. I'm crossing my fingers that this is a good sign! I'm afraid that the phone representatives might not have too much insight on this, since its really a coin toss wh...

I agree with mocapoca. Although I'm confident that finalists will receive the scholarship, funds will not be disbursed until November. Once you recieve final confirmation of the scholarship, you can send it to your financial aid office to defer payme...

NMW1982, there have been several scholarship recipients who are NP students. The first three who posted about their scholarship notification were NP students, and matchanurse who just received her notification yesterday is an NP student.

I'll be at Holy Family University in Pennsylvania. I heard from the admissions counselor that another student also received the scholarship.... and I'm wondering who it is.

Tellio, as I mentioned in an earlier post, last year, HRSA sent notifications every year. Psychnp, HRSA finished scoring on July 15, and, since they only check finalist's credit reports, did not check credit before then. The credit check appeared as...

There is still time to receive a notification! Remember that HRSA finished scoring less than a month ago. It looks like this year's waves of notifications mimic last year's. Last year, credit reports were checked on the last week of July, and applica...

Hi Titus, The essay prompts and other requirements are included in the program guidelines: http://www.hrsa.gov/loanscholarships/scholarships/nursing/guidance.pdf I also suggest that you review the scoring criteria that I posted earlier. The scoring...

I also got an award notification! This is an answer to my prayers. I feel so blessed. Congratulations to all the others who have also received notifications. So far, it seems like all of us whose credit was checked are receiving an award... Maybe ove...

I agree with MissTSM42. RN and NP students may be in the same tier, but up to half of the funds are reserved for NP students. I think that it makes sense that they are notified first.

I'm still predicting that RN students won't recieve notifications until two weeks after their credit check...

It sounds like you all have great stats! molympic, do you have a cumulative 4.0 GPA, or is that your prerequisite GPA? Its quite an accomplishment to get a bachelor's degree with a 4.0! I'm anxiously waiting for one of us RN students whose credit was...
