1. california license by endorsement

   Rebekulous replied to bluebeetle7's topic in California

   That kind of makes sense, if IN is quick at getting you your ATT. If that's the case, I vote for taking NCLEX as soon as you can before you start forgetting stuff. However, I don't think you can apply in CA until after you have your IN license, so de...

2. california license by endorsement

   Rebekulous replied to bluebeetle7's topic in California

   Is there a reason you're applying in Indiana first? If you know you're going to CA, it would be faster to just apply there first.

   I just saw this...4.5 years later...

4. Moving to California?

   Rebekulous replied to skimille12's topic in California

   I just moved to CA from UT this summer. I went to the U for nursing school, and CA gave me no grief about any of my classes. (I was nervous about a couple of the requirements as well.) It took a little over 2 months from submitting my application to ...

5. IVs and Tattoos

   Rebekulous replied to memyers's topic in General Students

   Feel for your veins, don't try to just see them. I'll usually also mark the skin once I find one, with a pen/sharpie, so that even after I clean the site I know where that vein is (since you should be touching after you've scrubbed...)

6. ONS chemo certificate

   Rebekulous replied to raayoub's topic in Oncology

   The ONS Chemo Certificate and the OCN are two totally different things. The chemo course will help you get CNEs to qualify for the OCN exam, but that's really the only connection. No one here will give you answers. You need to take the course, study...

7. Are nurses in CA glad they have a safe staffing law?

   Rebekulous replied to RN94's topic in California

   I'm loving the switch, but I'm also still in the "honeymoon" period, because it's only been a couple of months. Ask me again in a year Utah was not as bad as some of the other places I've read about here, but I can tell the difference in California...

8. Which specialty forum is "telemetry?"

   Rebekulous replied to Lemon Bars's topic in General Specialties

   What specialty forum depends on what kind of PCU it is. Cardiac, Surgical, Oncology, Stroke, etc.

9. Are nurses in CA glad they have a safe staffing law?

   Rebekulous replied to RN94's topic in California

   I moved to California from Utah (with no mandated ratios). So far, I'm loving how this is set up. I never have to worry about getting more than the 4 oncology/tele patients I'm supposed to have.

10. Nursing salary in Salt lake city and surrounding areas

    Rebekulous replied to tmhale's topic in Utah

    Intermountain and the U will probably be the highest paying in SLC. At a year's experience I think I was making $25/hr? But I think both groups have done multiple market adjustments since then, so I don't know what the going rate is now. It's OK for ...

11. California New Grad taking job out of state, what are my chances of getting back to CA?

    Rebekulous replied to sunflow3rz's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the others. Stay a year or two in AZ, and you'll be able to come back as an experienced nurse. Less than that and people won't want to hire you because you haven't hit that "one year" mark.

12. U of U CCI Feb 2019

    Rebekulous replied to gingernursegirl's topic in Utah

    I used to work there, and from what I heard the CCI is pretty competitive. You'll be competing with other new grads as well as acute care nurses who want to move to ICU. Good luck!

13. Nursing student interested in oncology

    Rebekulous replied to Steve627's topic in Oncology

    I agree, ONS is a good resource. Students membership is free, and there are a bunch of free CNEs for members.

14. NEW grad please review my resume and advice

    Rebekulous replied to PJishere's topic in Career Support

    I think you're right about the resume -- it's repetative, and doesn't show who "you" are in a way that would make me want to interview you. I'm a big believer in personalizing resumes to the job you're applying for, and that simpler is better. - For...

15. New Grad Job market in massachusetts- how long should I keep looking?

    Rebekulous replied to pchoi1121's topic in New Nurse

    I don't know about Boston specifically, but in general it can sometimes take months to hear back from HR about jobs. This year I applied for jobs out-of-state due to moving for my husband's schooling. There were a couple of jobs I applied for at the ...
