Hey! I live/work in Boston but I recently applied to Children's National Medical Center. I really want to work in pediatrics and have always wanted to get out of New England so I figured this was my chance! I am concerned though because I only have 6 months of experience in pediatric private duty nursing and still considered a new grad. I applied to a position (RN I/II) that did not require experience but I know they have a new grad program that I think already started (?) so I guess my questions are..
(1) Can I still be considered for the position without doing the new grad program?
(2) Those who have applied and received interviews, how long about did it take for them to contact you? I have to tell my landlord soon whether or not I want to stay and my boyfriend would need to start looking for jobs.
(3) Endorsement in general! It is expensive so I didn't want to apply until I had at least an interview, is this going to hurt my chances? I had planned on spending the extra to get a temporary license (as I heard it can take a while) if I ended up getting the job. Do those come fairly quickly?
Thanks and if you have any information in general about CNMC and/or relocation to DC I would love to hear it!
EDIT: I am even more nervous now, the position I applied to is no longer up! The status of my application says they are reviewing my application and if they are interested they will contact me.
