   Manang Biday replied to piscesmama's topic in California

   Yes, those 5 were the last new grads who had contracts with VMC. I am not sure how their application and hiring process went. All I know is that they'll be starting the new grad program in late August.

   Manang Biday replied to ChickenJoyRN,BSN's topic in Geriatric

   Oh my goodness... there's a lot of us going through the exact same thing as new grads working at SNFs. I feel exactly the same way of feeling overwhelmed and anxious every time I go to work. I dread going to work... although I always try tell myself...

   Yup, I know someone who makes this much, maybe a little bit more... but it's in Oakland with more patient load. Most SNFs in other areas start new grads at $30/hour.

6. If i don't find a job im going to go insane!!!!!!!!

   Manang Biday replied to mizzLVN's topic in California

   I tried applying at these companies. They used to hire and train new grads. However, they informed me that they aren't currently accepting nurses without experience. SNFs would be a logical choice. Go online and look for SNFs listings. Call each faci...

   Manang Biday replied to elacer08's topic in California

   Here's the link for the BSN information packet. Overall, it's an okay program. There is a class in each semester that I think they should improve by updating the content and how it is taught.

10. New Grad in a Nursing Home

    Manang Biday replied to NewestRN_OnTheBlock's topic in California

    I totally understand how you feel. We never had a rotation at a SNF in nursing school, so I am still adjusting with the SNF environment. Nurses are teaching me ways how to save time with passing the meds and charting early... and other things totally...

11. New Grad in a Nursing Home

    Manang Biday replied to NewestRN_OnTheBlock's topic in California

    I also started working in a nursing home, and I feel overwhelmed. I am still in training, and I am worried on how I would be able to pass meds, perform treatments, and complete documentation/charts for over 30 patients in an 8-hour shift by myself. I...

    Staffing agencies require their nurses to have at least 6 months to a year experience, so they could send them to hospitals. I tried to call several of them and they all said the same thing.

15. Kaplan Scores and Passing NCLEX

    Manang Biday replied to muskrats's topic in New Nurse

    I got 56 to 72 on Qbank questions depending on the content type. I got 70 & 75 question trainers 6 & 7 respectively. I passed with 75 questions. I used Saunders and ATI too but I think Kaplan was the most helpful.
