I have the option of selecting a "six weeks days, six weeks nights" rotating schedule or a "three weeks days, three weeks nights" version at my current job. I can see the pros and cons of each (the six week rotation would be better biologically as far as sleep, insomnia, and general health, and the three week option would be more ideal for my social life and work-life balance), but I was wondering if anyone had any insight, tips, or suggestions regarding the topic. I'm having a hard time making my decision!

Can any experienced nurses or nurses who has taken a job as in the float pool right out of college themselves give their opinion on accepting a position as a float nurse as a new grad? The idea of being trained to be so well-rounded in the hospital's units is appealing, but not having a "home" and close-knit group of co-workers is a bit of a concern for me. What are the pros and cons? Would you suggest it?

I'm curious too. I'm with general med peds. Heard any tips for the interview process?

Any tips on interviewing with CHC? I have an interview with them in a month.

They told me they would be in touch again in about a week to discuss references (via phone call and email).

My original alternate email kind of alluded that they would be contacting people to the end of this week; but I'm not 100% certain.

CHC. Isn't this thread about Children's? I got called today and offered an interview.

I received an email today informing me that I'm an alternate. Also, I got a hold of the lady in charge of the program's supervisor on Friday, and she informed me that calls/emails would be finished by "early this week".

I'm curious as to whether or not they 1. sent rejection emails first and left acceptance calls for last, and 2. are doing it alphabetically.

I had called too and never got a call or email back after leaving a voicemail. :/

Nope, still nothing. Further, my application online still only says "submitted".

Anyone know what's going on? Several peers in my class, along with myself, applied, and none of us were emailed today. I was concerned at first, since it said that May 13 was the last day they'd send out interview notifications, but then I learned that no one had heard anything. Just curious if that's the trend all over or not.

Sure haven't.
