Hello @Kkmars, I did get an offer at Duke and took the job. I am about 3 months in, and absolutely love it! The environment is very welcoming, and everyone is extremely helpful. Everyone wants you to succeed, and you are provided many opportunities to further your education and are supported every step of the way!

Haven't seen a thread yet for the upcoming fall 2016 New Grad RN's at Duke! I know that they are still hiring for this fall, in multiple positions! I have an interview scheduled, and am extremely excited! Feel free to post where you have/or are having an interview, how it went, and so on! I look forward to hearing from you, and excited to hopefully work together this fall!

Neuro ICU I believe!

I'm hoping that being selected out of so many applicants for an interview is a good sign? It's kind of a gamble spending so much money to fly out for an interview that's not guaranteed, so I'm hoping it means that they are pretty interested, pending how well the interview goes.

Thank you for your response! This is incredibly helpful!

Any advice for a new RN graduate starting out in the Neuro ICU? Things I should look up and familiarize myself prior to a residency program? Any procedures, common dx, common meds, and so on? Any advice would be helpful! Thanks! :)

Yeah I figured that may be an obstacle. I am planning to start the process of getting my BSN this spring. Do you live in this area? Any job searches I do, I end up with those hospitals. I would be happy to apply at other hospitals, but am somehow only presented with UNC, Duke, and Wake med when searching? Thanks for your advice!

Thanks for your help! We graduated with our associates degree, but are planning on continuing on to get BSN and hopefully even further than that. Yeah I figure they probably have a lot of students out there, so I hope they do look into is too. Some diversity is always nice :)

Hello all! I am a new graduate from Iowa, looking to relocate to Raleigh, NC with 2 fellow nursing graduate classmates. We graduated this past May and all 3 have taken and passed the NCLEX-RN and have our licenses in the state of Iowa. We have applied for licensure in North Carolina, and are awaiting our confirmation pending our background check. We have applied for several new grad jobs at DUKE and UNC. Still haven't heard anything back (started applying 1-2 weeks ago). Just wondering if anyone has any advice as to applying for new grad jobs. What the interview process will be like, especially since we will be out of state, etc. We are hoping to move in August. Any advice would be helpful! Thanks!
