2. California's 2009 New Grad RN Program- Who's hiring right now?

   funnybone replied to piscesmama's topic in California

3. What is the average salary for a RN graduate in N. California the bay area???

   funnybone replied to igorotsp's topic in California

   Thats not completely true. There are hospitals that wont consider one year of experience in a nursing home. So depending on the hospital you want to end up working in, you may have to keep trying to get a new grad position wherever you can find one.

   funnybone replied to LIoyd's topic in NCLEX

   I don't think theres any good reason to contest the results unless something happens to what Silverdragon stated. It is either pass or fail when they 95% believe that you could practice as a safe nurse. Theres no other way around that.
