   herna372 replied to jakemckyndel's topic in California

   My status didn't change until end of March/beginning of April. And I didn't get the interview email until end of April. I was discouraged until I got that email, UCLA just takes forever to sort through applications

   I think every unit is different. I interviewed with a unit manager from a unit over (mine was out sick) and the patient care supervisor. They asked me about my resume, my experience, behavioral questions and some clinical questions. I think the clini...

5. New Grad RN in the OR feeling discouraged... Need advice

   herna372 replied to YelenaRN's topic in Operating Room

   I did my senior preceptorship in the OR for 5 months and now I have been hired by the same hospital. I've been here two months as a staff RN and I thought it would get better than it was as a student. Turns out it's worse. I feel like no one respects...

   Hi everyone! I just graduated with a BSN, passed my boards and started my first job as an RN on a med/surg oncology floor. I was just looking for any advice on travel nursing (I'm interested in traveling abroad in Europe). I am especially interested ...

7. New Grad hired to OR but I hate it! Help!!

   herna372 posted a topic in Career Support

   So I did my senior capstone (360 hours) in the operating room. However, I found it wasn't for me. I hated how poorly surgeons treat the staff and I didn't feel like I was using any of my nursing skills. (Also, yes I realize the OR is MUCH different t...

   Yes! I'm pretty sure I heard they were livescans. I think she said they process in about three days. You can double check by calling their office too! (Way faster than emails)

    For those of you that are out of town, I contacted HR through email and this is what they said: "We have many out of town candidates, so to be considerate of everyone's time if a manager would like to conduct a second interview or a unit tour they w...

    herna372 replied to herna372's topic in School Programs

    I don't think they take gpa into consideration because I didn't even include that in my resume. I have a 3.6 though, senior preceptorship in the OR and an internship at a general ICU floor in Toledo, Spain. I got my interview for transplant ICU but ...
