1. Kaiser Hiring in Northern California

   itsthegreeneyes posted a topic in California

   I recently applied to a couple positions posted by Kaiser in the Bay Area. Within a week or two, I received a call and email from recruiter stating they wanted to set up an interview. In the email, there was link to another generic Kaiser job postin...

2. CSUEB Fall 2012, can I also work?

   itsthegreeneyes replied to carmieth's topic in California

   I graduated as a part of the first class at the Concord campus in 2008. People were able to work during the program, but full-time would probably not be possible nor would it be advisable. I worked one 8-hour shift a week after Level I when I was el...

   itsthegreeneyes replied to starghadeer's topic in California

   To answer your question UC Davis does not have an actual inpatient Psych unit. Most Psych cases are sent to Med-Surg floors until placement can be found like across the street at the county psych facility.

4. One stop wages shopping....

   itsthegreeneyes replied to fergus51's topic in California

   Good for these nurses. It's about time that SoCal RN wages catch up with that of Northern California. It has always amazed me that although the cost of living seems much higher in SoCal that the wages have never caught up. Good Luck to these nurse...

5. John Muir Medical Center-How do I get hired!?

   itsthegreeneyes replied to RNMG's topic in California

   I would set up a job agent on the HR website so that you can see when jobs that match your qualifications open up. You could also contact the nurse recruiter or find out who the critical care manager is and contact them. I understand why you fell i...

6. Need CA RN history lesson :)

   itsthegreeneyes replied to StephieRN_1216's topic in California

   Its possible that this person is or was an LVN which is overseen by a different agency in california the BVNPT so this may explain why you could not verify their license or your grandmmother's (plus it would have to be an active license) if you were ...

7. Ca RNs drawing blood?

   itsthegreeneyes replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in California

   I think it might be facility specific. At my facility, the RNs do most lab draws especially on admission as we only have lab techs in the morning. I know there are probably more stringent protocols regarding everything related to administering bloo...

8. benefits for Kaiser, UC Davis, UCSF, or VA and Sutter

   itsthegreeneyes replied to Happysouth1's topic in California

   I work in the UC System and have only worked within this system since becoming an RN. The benefits are by far the best that I have seen. I do know that Kaiser talks up their benefits from friends that recently attended a job fair, but they still do...

9. Kaiser walnut creek job fair ?

   itsthegreeneyes replied to pogiboy67's topic in California

   I agree with your statement, I heard it compared to herding cattle just like you said buffalo stampede. My 2 cents- If they treat you like that as a prospective employee then how will they treat you as an actual employee if/when you are hired. Howeve...

    itsthegreeneyes replied to pogiboy67's topic in California

    Sorry it has already passed. It was was this past Wednesday. It was not very fruitful from what I heard. Some peopl wait 3 hours just to get a rushed one-on-one with a nurse manager for only a handful of positions at each facility.

14. Has anyone heard from the John Muir New grad program?

    itsthegreeneyes replied to decnewgrad's topic in California

    The first interview should with the recruiter and its mainly generic personality questions. You will get like 1 out 3 possible clinical questions, I think there is one on hyperglycemia and the one I got was increasin HR and decreasing BP-- say what'...

15. Looking to be an RN in Cali next year...but I need FACTS!!!

    itsthegreeneyes replied to tanyaRN09's topic in California

    I think whomever was giving you advice grossly misrepresented California. This maybe the case at some hospitals, but definitely not at all of them and probably not at larger, more urban facilities. I work in the Bay Area on an oncology/pulmonary un...
