   I think every unit is different (one unit told me they were sending top 5 out of 12 but not sure if that really happened) but if you are doing the reference check I'd say you've got a good shot. What unit did you interview for?

   The interview as rather informal as it was just with the nurse manager (no panel) She asked pretty standard questions like about conflict, miscommunication, stress and there were no situational questions. Do you have an interview coming up?

    I went through the ABSN in Sac so could be different but we were given the information about the bloodborne pathogens certificate at orientation. You had to do it on a specific website and pay a small fee (I think less than $20 maybe even less than $...

13. Question about NCLEX/licensure timeline in California

    jsrn535 replied to vwgirl22's topic in California
