If you are a new grad take any job you can get, you need the experience and working at any hospital will give you that! If you are an experienced nurse I would suggest you keep looking.

I'm sorry I thought the application ended on the 21sth :( If you are in Los Angeles go to the job fair at Brotman Medical Center tomorrow! They had one in 2011 and I know they hired a bunch of new...

I think you need to have 1 or 2 years of work experience before you can take any kind of certification. I just started on a telemetry unit 2 months ago as a new grad and they told me that I can take...

It depends where you live. I'm a new grad and that's my base rate. 4 dollars more for nights (which is what I'm working) and 1 dollar more for weekends. It seems like a lot of money but I live in Los...
