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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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'...

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...
