   CityofAngelsRN replied to trailrunningrn's topic in Correctional

   Your response to OP was so detailed- thank you providing so much information! When the jobs are posted, do they indicate if the position is am or pm? I know you said generally they start new hires on nights, however, I'm wondering if the job post spe...

2. Leaving the Bedside as a New Nurse: Is It a Good Idea?

   CityofAngelsRN replied to thehappynurse98's topic in General Nursing

3. Need some serious advice and help regarding HR and possibly about to be fired

   CityofAngelsRN replied to in.despair's topic in Recovery

   I wouldn’t give them my records, especially since it doesn’t guarantee you keeping your job. If you quit, you can at least apply there again down the road when you’re in a better spot. Virtual hugs to you. You got this.

   Thank you so much for the reply! Apparently they don’t do them anymore. LOL, I was picturing myself running a mile and doing a million pushups so I was scared!!

5. Atascadero State Hospital Physical Ability Test

   CityofAngelsRN posted a topic in Psychiatric

   So I just got hired at Atascadero State Hospital but the email I received states I "might" have to take a physical ability test? LOL, this is making me nervous. Does anyone know if this is true and if so, how hard is it? Do I have to pushups, run on ...

   CityofAngelsRN posted a topic in Headlines

   A new father was filming in the hospital delivery room after the birth of his twin girls and he catches the doctor dropping one of the girls on a table. I recently watched a video I found on Facebook of a newborn baby being dropped on a table right ...

   Hi everyone! I know this thread is really old but I was just wondering if you could describe some of the tasks you guys do during the day as a correctional nurse in Nevada. I'm highly considering applying but I'd love to get more info. Thanks so much...

8. Removed from Nurse Residency Program-Should I Try Psych?

   CityofAngelsRN replied to dbabz's topic in New Nurse

   I graduated valedictorian yet had never drawn blood or started an IV. I didn't even know how to hang a piggyback lol. Thankfully my new grad program gave us 10 weeks with a preceptor so I was able to develop some skills. The only way a new grad learn...

9. Los Angeles Nurses, Please Keep an Eye Out for Nancy

   CityofAngelsRN posted a topic in Headlines

   I came across a story about a year ago that I haven't been able to forget about. The story is about a middle aged woman from Los Angeles who suffers from early onset Alzheimer's and disappeared from her family in 2016. The most plausible theory is th...

10. AZ New Grad RN

    CityofAngelsRN replied to EveeRN224's topic in New Nurse

    Lol, for some stupid reason I thought the OP wrote that which changes a lot!! Haha, my apologies. Being a travel nurse would be a TERRIBLE idea, couldn't agree more. A new grad probably wouldn't survive their first day as the staff expect you to know...

11. AZ New Grad RN

    CityofAngelsRN replied to EveeRN224's topic in New Nurse

    What city are you in? Are you close to Phoenix? Can you relocate for a year? My advice is to join the Facebook group New Grad RNs Arizona, you can connect with so many other new grads in your state and they are often posting new grad residencies.

12. Newish grad unable to get a job

    CityofAngelsRN replied to athesnia's topic in New Nurse

    I was a new grad in 2014 in CA and I know it's different than it is today, but it was extremely hard to get a job as a new grad back then. I joined a Facebook group for new grads in my state which essentially helped land me my first job. Find a list ...

    CityofAngelsRN replied to Evan Gross's topic in Entrepreneurs

    I don't have any side hustles personally but flu clinics are a big one and many agencies are starting to hire now for a September start date.

15. Too ugly to be a nurse..?!?

    CityofAngelsRN replied to RandomNurse2b1's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, you would be a perfect fit in Hollywood. I lived in Hollywood for 10 years and worked in a few hospitals in LA, trust me, like I said...you would fit right in!
