4. Does being able to work odd shifts help in the job search?

   B52-H replied to Mefs's topic in California

   If you can move out of California you will definitely increase your chances, just be prepared because it's still tough in a lot of desirable states. A year of experience is what most open positions listed on so cal hospital websites require. A lot o...

7. Does being able to work odd shifts help in the job search?

   B52-H replied to Mefs's topic in California

   Yep. Every once in a while you will see the article or post from an experienced nurse who complains new grads are too picky or unwilling to work nights/weekends and that is the reason for the slim job prospects. Those days are long gone. People are d...

8. "Superuser"?

   B52-H replied to BellasRNmommy's topic in California

12. Not a big fan of phone interviews...

    B52-H replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I am the complete opposite; I love phone interviews. Especially if they call while I am at home where I'm comfortable. I have a online document that I quickly open up when they call that has the hospital and unit info, my background and qualification...

    South OC and so cal in general is over saturated. The hospitals close by (Saddleback, Hoag, KP, Mission, UCI etc) are either not hiring new grads or have limited slots; maybe fewer than 10. You are going to have to expand your search area and prepare...
