1. Unethical hiring practices

   Zippitydoodah replied to Zippitydoodah's topic in New Nurse

   They implied that we could work in another unit. However, there are no positions open in the other units and they can't just move us over there. So until something opens up, we're S.O.L. And once something does open up, we still have to compete with ...

2. Unethical hiring practices

   Zippitydoodah replied to Zippitydoodah's topic in New Nurse

   Thanks for the good luck. I'm just wondering why they hire new grads into these positions if they're just going to turn around and dismiss us in high proportions. I know you don't know the answer, I just wish they'd have told me at the outset that t...

3. Unethical hiring practices

   Zippitydoodah replied to Zippitydoodah's topic in New Nurse

   Unfortunately for me, there are no other positions in other units. And if they'd told me that this was on a trial basis, I wouldn't have moved. When I write "sea legs" I don't mean that I was becoming expert, I meant, rather, that I was beginning to ...

4. Unethical hiring practices

   Zippitydoodah posted a topic in New Nurse

   Has anyone ever heard of anything like this? I am a new grad, and was recently hired in the CVICU, which claims to have a training program for new grads as well as floor nurses making the switch to critical care. The learning curve was steep, and I t...

   Nothin.

6. Legacy Versant RN Residency - who's applying for this round?

   Zippitydoodah replied to tejon's topic in Oregon

   Thanks Av03. I don't expect it to go anywhere. It was a mediocre interview. Good luck to you as well, I know you really want it and went the extra mile (or hundreds of miles) for the interview.

   I think it'll probably be at least another week. I just had a phone screening interview yesterday, and it sounded as if they still have a number of phone interviews to go.

8. Scripps New Grad Nurse Residency 2013

   Zippitydoodah replied to SDnurse2011's topic in California

   Thirty more hours, peppered. We'll know for sure by then. I've already decided I did not get it, but that's mostly so I don't make myself crazy in the next day. Nice meeting you, by the way, however briefly and however nervous we were at the time.

9. Scripps New Grad Nurse Residency 2013

   Zippitydoodah replied to SDnurse2011's topic in California

   Ayayayay, I just realized that both of the thank-you notes I sent the managers (I only interviewed with two) bounced back. I resent them just now, trying to guess what their email addresses are. They wrote it for me on a piece of paper that wasn't ea...

    I'm guessing there's no real system. They're probably doing it as the unit managers make their decisions and pass the word along. For those who have gotten calls: are the calls coming from the unit managers or HR?

    I think you went in at 12:30. I was a few minutes after you. I finished at 1:11. Only two people on my panel, which bums me out slightly since I think that may decrease my chances.

    Preparing for the drive to San Diego (Sunday) for Monday interview. Starting to get big zit on forehead = awesome. I'll see all you Monday interviewees scheduled for 12:30. I'll be the old guy in the gray suit with the third eye.

13. Legacy Versant RN Residency - who's applying for this round?

    Zippitydoodah replied to tejon's topic in Oregon

    Hey Av03. I got your message but do not yet have privileges on here to respond (until I post 15 quality posting, they tell me.) my direct email is sfjocko at g mail. Can you send me a message there and we can communicate, if you don't mind? I've got...

14. Legacy Versant RN Residency - who's applying for this round?

    Zippitydoodah replied to tejon's topic in Oregon

    Thanks Av03. Are you in process for both Scripps and Versant Legacy as well? I applied for my license in CA about a month ago, and for OR last week (but only just sent in the fingerprint card yesterday; I thought it looked like crap, but the computer...

    Actually, if we make it through this, I'm thinking a few shots of good whiskey.
