1. Palliative care

   werkinit replied to smurfynursey's topic in Pediatric

   Hi again! Thanks for the ELNEC recommendation, smurfynursey, I am hoping I can get some ceu units & possibly have it covered by my work...we'll see! I am still a very new "baby nurse" but my unit pays for us to sit for the CPON cert after 1 yea...

2. Pearson view trick doesnt work

   werkinit replied to annamee's topic in NCLEX

   There is nothing to indicate that you failed, just be patient. Sometimes it takes longer for random reasons. I waited 8 weeks for the CA BON to post my name...had to re-send my transcripts to them. It was awful & excruciating waiting that long...

3. Palliative care

   werkinit replied to smurfynursey's topic in Pediatric

   Hi there! I wanted to follow up and see what you decided about this certification. I am a new grad pediatric oncology RN with an interest in palliative care. This certification sounds right up my alley but I don't know much (and it will probably be...

4. New Graduate.....take a year off before I start???

   werkinit replied to kthomps's topic in New Nurse

   From graduation (end of August) to start date for my new job (March) was 7 months for me...You might actually get time off before starting anyways. ...and my job offer was relatively quick compared to many new grads right now! Anywhere from 6months ...

5. Considering CNA while in RN school...

   werkinit replied to aachavez's topic in General Students

   It's a great idea & worth the experience/networking potential. All the students in my class who worked as CNAs got jobs first, or had them lined up before we graduated. The rest of us had to scramble quite a bit harder and many of us are not get...

6. Transcripts: California BRN

   werkinit replied to sfnursetobe's topic in NCLEX

   You only need to send transcripts from your RN school. I did not end up sending from my other schools and got my RN license last October. You send in a piece of paperwork with your application that outlines pre-requisite courses taken from other sch...

8. Interview questions for peds oncology position?

   werkinit replied to Lub-Dub's topic in Pediatric

   Nope, I just remember she was a professor from her profile and I thought it was reflected in her screen name somehow... Basically everything after December 14th was lost. What a bummer...HOWEVER, I bet I've still got my old email notification from h...

10. "Smart Is The New Rich" Graduate Nurses Cannot Find Work

    werkinit replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    Similar topic, better written in my opinion: "New California nursing graduates find it hard to get hired" http://www.sacbee.com/2011/12/04/4097980/new-california-nursing-graduates.html Cheers!

11. March 2012 CHLA RN Residency Program

    werkinit replied to savexpigoo's topic in California

    A friend of mine who works in health care said it was pretty standard to call in about double the number they were looking to hire -- so interviewing 11 for 6 positions on PICU sounds about right. Probably a little better than 50% chance of hiring??...

12. March 2012 CHLA RN Residency Program

    werkinit replied to savexpigoo's topic in California

    Does anyone have a sense of how many folks were invited to the round two interviews? If you got a 2nd interview, what's the probability of actually landing a position at this point? I'm assuming your chances are greatly improved, but then we've also...

13. New Grad Job Hunting

    werkinit replied to NewRNin2011's topic in Job Hunt

    I don't know where you're located, but in California the job-market is very contracted, over-saturated with new grads, and VERY competitive. We're easily seeing 1200-1500 applications for new grad programs at the major teaching hospitals (with few p...

    werkinit replied to savexpigoo's topic in California

    PS: What a bummer to go through all the work & then they only hire internally in the end...Good luck on the rest of your search!!
