  1. No one will give me a chance

    Home health, flu clinic, snf, assisted living, etc....there are plenty of opportunities in nursing. Yes, those aren't acute care settings but it could still provide you invaluable experience (and not show a gap in you resume)
  2. Traffic tickets and BVNPT Application process

    grats
  3. NCLEX and licensing with 2 OLD DUI's

    It took them about a year and a half to grant me the ability to sit for the NCLEX and I was given an unrestricted license after their investigation. I only have one but I got it during school so it was maybe about a year from when I got it to when I ...
  4. **POLL** New 1st Year RN Salary

    This was my very first job after licensure California (bay area) 35/hour new grad flu clinics
  5. NCLEX and licensing with 2 OLD DUI's

    Agree with Meri, you have to start getting letters from your instructors (yes they are going to have to know about you DUI so they can address is in their character letter). They are most likely going to deny your license the first time around so be ...
  6. PICU new grad job offered

    Thanks for all your input......it seems like I better learn as much as possible when I have my 10 weeks with a preceptor before I get thrown onto the floor on my own
  7. PICU new grad job offered

    I was offered a new grad job in a PICU at a california hospital and was wondering how demanding the PICU is? I never saw myself doing peds after licensure (especially in PICU) but was lucky to get an interview through family. I am worried about all t...
  8. need advice for Nursing school

    seems like you're going to have to enter a nursing program here in the USA to ever become an RN in the US
  9. Agreed, an ADN who graduated a month or two ago that is eligible to apply for any US employer and in process of getting their BSN will look a lot better than someone who graduated with a BSN years ago from a foreign nursing program even with a refres...
  10. How Does an RN make more in Sacramento than San Diego????

    If you get into a state-run teaching hospital (UCLA, UCSD, UC Irvine) I hear the benefits aren't too bad as you can get into CALPERS. Someone correct me if I'm wrong
  11. Sacramento colleges.. Advice needed

    There are plenty of RN jobs for new grads with associates but I doubt you'll be able to stay in the sacramento area. Also, try San Joaquin Delta in Stockton which has an awesome program and plenty of hospitals around the area that hire (especially th...
  12. Sacramento can be perceived as boring until you live there and find out that there is so much to do. The pay for RNs isn't as high as they bay area but you can make a pretty good living as described by Nicki. I would suggest applying to Kaiser Perman...
  13. Work visa for Bsn rn

    Might have to start looking into getting a Master in Nursing degree as I feel like this may be the minimum for foreign educated nurses now
  14. So is ADN- RN really a waste of time?

    There is actually a good amount of hospitals and SNFs hiring ADNs here in California. Most of them are willing to chip in if you decide to get your BSN while working also. The hiring freeze is slowly melting!
  15. My success story. California brn with a dui.

    Depending on where you live i'd say have patience and start looking for a job outside of nursing for a little bit. I got a DUI in nursing school and it took me about 2.5 years to finally get my RN license (unrestricted thankfully). I'm hoping they fa...
