1. New Grad No Job- extremely depressed.

   fullofenergy replied to michelle9655's topic in New Nurse

   I have a few suggestions. Have you signed up on all career sites under healthcare/nursing to have alerts for RN jobs to be sent to you automatically through e-mail? I did and just got an interview from one of these sites that I would have never kno...

2. New grad RN terminated from orientation after 3 weeks on tele unit

   fullofenergy replied to BMB Girl's topic in New Nurse

   I really appreciate all your comments because it like reading my story in parts of every one of them. I had a horrible experience as a new grad in a tele unit. I never felt accepted, I constantly changed preceptors and was criticized daily. When I...

3. Azusa Pacific University or community college

   fullofenergy replied to ToysDream's topic in California

   I would like to give some advice to those who are considering APU for the BSN program. I was accepted by the program and did go to the orientation. I quit before I began because I did not like the staff, the instructors or the support staff at this...

4. Are there really RN Jobs in Southern California?

   fullofenergy replied to onesmartgirl's topic in California

   This is encouraging news about new grads. Many of the discussions I read about are more discouraging. I wouldn't mind working in mental health if this would count for the experience you need for other tops of hospital jobs. I hope this kind of wor...

6. CSU Fullerton Fall 2010 applicants?

   fullofenergy replied to KRomney's topic in California

   Hi Meems, Thanks for all your helpful information. I am going to RCC for the RN portion of the degree and then planning to go to CSULB for the NP and Masters only. I liked this program since it leads directly to the NP and you can start with an RN ...

7. CSU Fullerton Fall 2010 applicants?

   fullofenergy replied to KRomney's topic in California

   Hi Meems, What did you mean about not wanted to go to CSULB? I have been talking to them about the RN to the FNP program and have found them very helpful and encouraging so far. I do not know much about the program from others, just what I have exp...

8. Most Economical way to get your Masters?

   fullofenergy replied to ILoveCats5's topic in General Students

   I know there are programs for the RN all the way to the NP. It is good to get some experience working as an RN before applying to the Master's program. Usually you can bypass the BSN if you have a bachelor's in another field and take certain prerequ...

9. Is it hard to find jobs for someone who went through Entry Level Masters Program?

   fullofenergy replied to live.love.laugh's topic in California

   It's nice to know that it is not just me that is feeling unsure about the direction to take in nursing. At this point, I will start with an ADN/RN, work for awhile and then continue on in my education for sure. If the new requirements for a DPN to b...

10. bachelor's in another field to NP in 3 years

    fullofenergy replied to creativetype2007's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Merky, I am responding to your message regarding the ADN to the BSN with a BA in another field. How long did this take and where do you get your BSN? I am wondering if the requirements may start increasing in the next few years to having the BSN...

11. Is it hard to find jobs for someone who went through Entry Level Masters Program?

    fullofenergy replied to live.love.laugh's topic in California

    It's so confusing about what degrees hospitals want out there. I hear RN and experience is what they really want, and now it seems some may be looking for the BSN. It takes a few years to get a BSN from an RN. I would just rather invest that time ...

12. bachelor's in another field to NP in 3 years

    fullofenergy replied to creativetype2007's topic in General Nursing

    You may want to look into the Cal State Long Beach program for EL-MSN that takes three years. It is pretty inexpensive as well but I am not sure of the exact costs. I believe it might be close to $32K. It is a competitive program and they are admit...

14. New grads and Jobs

    fullofenergy replied to AF Nur's topic in Career Support

    I think hospitals should be required to hire some new grads also. This will help out with new nurses getting their first experience and the hospitals could probably pay a little less for them. After some experiences, these new grads would definitel...

    Yes, I would like to hear more from new grads in Southern California in particular. How difficult is it to find your first job as an RN? Which hospitals are hiring new grads at this point?
