Wow....I got the job!!

Published

I am super excited!!! I had an interview today for a graduate nurse position at 11 am and I really didn't think it went well at all. I was super nervous but still continued to answer questions from all four of the panel members. This was my first nursing interview and it was at my first choice of hospitals to work at. I cried all the way home because I really wanted this position and I thought I screwed up my chances. By 4 pm, I received the phone call with a job offer!! I am so happy. My start date is right after graduation!!!:yeah::yeah::yeah:

Thanks, I am very happy with my offer. :heartbeat

And you should be. You must be a very good prospect to get an offer of your choice. I'm jealous!

Its just those group interviews strike a nerve from my experiences. The ones I pass, I am insulted by the offers.

But then again, I am not your caliber evidently; so its just my experiences from the other (bad) side

of the tracks.

Just don't quite relax yet. You never know what opportunities await someone of your talent to get a generous

offer of your choice in these difficult times.

Best of luck!!

Thank you but I am nobody special. I am grateful and humbled because I know times are hard (I am from Detroit, it is pretty darn difficult in my city right now.) I am doing my last clinical rotation in the hospital that I will be working at on a different unit. I've had the opportunity to meet some of the staff and they all seem happy and excited about their job, for the most part. I am sure you will get an offer that is acceptable to you.

Best wishes:heartbeat

congrats. are you working on the floor you wanted? or are you on a floor where you will be able to gain the experience needed to work on the floor you want someday? i noticed another thread you seemed upset by a prior offer and in this thread you stated you are now humble by the job market. in any case, good luck to you.

that suggestion (not an official offer) was made at a job fair. it was thrown out at me, in an attempt to help me narrow down what type of med/surg unit i would be interested in. in that thread i also said how i over analyzed and read too much into that initial suggestion. once i narrowed down the type of med/surg unit that i wanted to be on, i accepted an interview with that manager. it was the first of the interviews that i had after the job fair from this hospital. it is my first choice and yes that is the floor i wanted to be on as i stated in my original post.

i don't see how being upset about an offer contradicts being humbled by the job market. many december grads are working in facilities that they don't want to or not working at all and at the same time have been humbled by this job market. i am humbled that i got what i wanted, even in this bad economy. i don't think being humbled means that i have to take a job that i don't want. can you explain the correlation that you see between the two? i don't see the connection.

in this thread you were stating humility and i was curious as to what made you so... i was not sure if it was the job market or something else so i asked my questions... thus no, you did not have to take a job you did not like to show humility...
