I interviewed for an ICU position...

I interviewed for an ICU position as a new graduated (RN). I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do after graduation but this particular unit jumped out at me. They are going to let me know on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Hi Kimberly! My first job was in the Recovery Room, but I only worked there a couple of months and was asked to transfer to ICU. I loved it - it was a great job!!!

Good luck!

Good luck, hope you get the job! I wanted to be a nurse, but got married and had kids instead.

Thank you. I can't wait to find out.
My sister is an L&D nurse and my other sister will be starting nursing school, so I guess it runs in the family. It was a long wrong and I'm excited to see how that hard work in action.

That's great that it was offered to you. With the economy the way it is, I hope it hasn't affected the nursing profession has it has others. It might have been good to accept it that way you know you have a position for the summer. I don't know anything about nursing positions, but I hope you find what you're looking for.

I was thinking the same thing but honestly I can't wait that long. You do not have to sign a contract and recently this same hospital has actually offered jobs to a person and then retracted the bid once they were ready to sign (not a contract to stay on but to accept the job). I can't take a chance of stay where I am (I am not from this area) for a few more months and then nothing happening. I called them back and talk with them, I'm definately not burning any bridges. So we will see...
I know many of the NA and other positions are on a hiring freeze, but I am not sure who else.
