Thank you!! And the interview questions were pretty standard (no clinical scenarios). Tell me about yourself, why did you become a nurse, work history, what do you think you'll struggle with, tell me about a time you were challenged, tell me about your closest patient, what animal would you be and why LOL

Once you receive your results you'll fwd it to ucla harbor  with cover letter resume  BLS and nursing license. You'll also state three specific units of preference for example if you want critical care you write ICU CVICU ED etc Email: [email protected]

I am assuming they got hired on as a relief nurse and its higher pay but no benefits that you usually get with the county.

Oh wow, I didn't know that.  Is that why some of my friends are getting $46 an hour versus I'm getting 60 an hour.?

Yes that's why, the relief nurses get paid more but after a while they are able to become staff
