   I did my med surg rotations in Kaiser, but have never actually worked for the facility. I was just wondering how the work environment was on the floor :)

   I did both, my school gave us ATI for free. I preferred Kaplan for test taking strategies (yes these strategies really work when all the answers look correct) and Saunders for review of content. Kaplan was a huge investment, but honestly, the best I...

   annlee1318 replied to laurainri's topic in New Nurse

8. Is it hard to get a job at Hoag Hospital?

   annlee1318 replied to luv2shopp85's topic in California

   The unit where I interviewed it at goes by 12 hour shifts. They stated that they pay 25.05 for a new grad, and 5.15 night differential per hour. After 8 hours is NOT time and a half. So that would be around 30/hour if working nights. In fact, the sta...

    if you can afford azusa, go for it. i love cal state lb, it's just that in every state school in ca, you will find a huge waiting list. you can have a 4.0, be bilingual, and have health care experience, and end up waiting for quite some time. i belie...

14. I am NOT enjoying my geriatric clinical

    annlee1318 replied to speedykicks's topic in General Students

    Do not feel horrible. I felt the same way about my LTC rotation. It just didn't fit, unfortunately. That's the beauty of nursing, you try out different areas and find out what works. Keep your head up, and remember that it's a learning process.
