   Actually, I am a Cali RN who was ready and willing to take the job that was offered to me! I was so happy and honored when they offered me the position... but I am married to an Air Force pilot who got new orders the day I interviewd and was transfer...

3. Nurse Residency Programs

   KBnurse2B replied to Jump_Nurse's topic in New Nurse

   Do you know when each of the 3 programs start? I know they are hiring now for the one starting in June, but I just barely missed the cuttoff (I graduate in early June) for that one. I'm wondering when to expect the next program for 2011.

   Wow, I had no idea the job search was THIS bad in Phoenix And you're a local... which gives you an advantage. I heard the program in Bakersfield only accepted a few out of town people (I heard 2 out of 27, but that could be a rumor!). I am starting ...

   I got offered a job in the ER at Mercy Hospital in Bakersfield for their Versant program. Turning it down was probably one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make! But I'm not just planning a future for myself and I have to think about my hu...

    KBnurse2B replied to jojonavy's topic in New Nurse

    I agree. It doesn't seem like any of the hospitals really care too much though. I mean, their so oversaturated with new grads that they are probably receiving tons of calls, emails, etc. So for them I guess the ones not chosen are not their priority....

    This thread is for anyone applying to the Phoenix Children's Hospital Graduate Advancement Program in Pediatrics (GAPP) which is scheduled to start in July 2011. Has anyone applied or heard anything yet? My application still says HR is reviewing it...

    I live in Bakersfield and most of my class got interviews and many got offers already. The last person (that I know of) to interview was last Friday and she was told that all final decisions will be made by today. They are having people come in to si...

    They asked a lot of questions about prioritizing patients. The interview was about an hour long. The managers were awesome! They were making jokes and laughing when I first went in and it really helped to lighten the mood. They told me they were ther...

    Yes, I do. I was planning on leaving but I need a job! So if I get one of the Versant programs here (with my area of preference) then I will stay... We'll see...

    I had my interview yesterday. Seemed like it went well. It was my very first nursing interview so my nerves were out of control as expected! They told me that they are making their final choices within 2 weeks and I will hear from them either way. So...
