[pinksunRN]

Hi!!! I passed the NCLEX-RN last April. Anyone here working in hospitals with New Grad RN programs? Would love to get some recommendations:) Thanks in advance:)

I saw a 9-day Nurse Refresher Course with the California School of Health Sciences, will that be ok? Is that enough? I agree with you in terms of learning the procedures here and to gain more confidence before really handling patients...That's the reason why I was looking into the new graduate RN programs because they give training in different areas of nursing. My husband by the way, who went into nursing here in the US without enough clinical experience in the Philippines. He said its difficult for him to adjust because he wasn't given enough training with the first facility he was in, assuming that since he is a "travel nurse" he should be experienced. Good thing, when he got transferred to a different facility, he asked for training and a lot of Filipino nurses in that hospital were very willing to assist him, then he was able to gain more confidence...By the way, he is in a Psychiatric Facility, CSU in particular...will it make a difference if I go Psychiatric Nursing rather than Med-Surg?

I am doing a new grad program at northridge hospital. They are taking applications for their Jan 2009 residency program now. The person you contact is Judy Sumner. Don't wait too long as they are starting interviews soon.
