No call to email! Just a status change on my portal with my offer letter!

the rate on mine was 50.01 but I was under the assumption that everyone got that as a new grad? did you have the same on yours or was the rate increase mentioned in your letter? thank you for sharing!! that would be nice~ LOL

Hi, just stalking this page for a friend. But current 6ICU new grad. The union signed a new contract effective in Jan for a 5% wage increase so the offer letter pay may change when you actually start.

6icu requires new grads to be rotating shifts (switching between day and night shift every month or so) until about 1-2 years working on the unit before you can decide which shift to stay on. We are all hired as “break relief” plus 2 shifts, in the case that they need people to work break reliefs. Hope that helps and congrats!

Thank you for the information.

I was wondering does that mean that we have to come in 4 times per week since it is (2) 12hrs shift and (2) 6hrs break relief?

Hey guys, did anyone here who interviewed for 7ICU on 11/21 get an offer yet? Since the interviews on this day took place after the time range indicated on the invite, I wonder if offers are also being delayed or if that's just wishful thinking LOL. Thanks! ?

Technically yes, but they won’t have you on break relief shifts when you first start off and during precepted shifts. And depending on staffing needs, you may never even do break relief shifts, so no need to worry yet!

Hey ! I will be on the SM perinatal unit, and my offer letter states I will be 12 hour shifts, and part time. I thought when you work 12s you generally work three 12s, or 36 hours per week which is full time. Does this mean I will only be working 24 hours per week or two 12 hour shifts a week ?

does anyone else’s offer letter say they are part time ?

also, how is it doing the rotating nights/days ? Im a little bit worried about it !

Thank you for sharing that information and the clarification on the shifts~

I was wondering since you're currently there, have you enjoyed the unit and the training program so far? Do you feel supported by management and like the nurses on the floor are supportive of the new grads? Just hoping to get some more insight~ thank you in advance!
