Hi everyone. I just wanted to see what people's opinions were on dropping off a physical copy of a resume/portfolio to a place of interest, particularly in a hospital unit. Is it seen as unprofessional/overbearing or more in a positive way, like taki...

Wow, thank you guys all so much for the insight! You have brought up aspects of it that I didn't even think about. Nowadays the job process is so computerized so I do agree that dropping it off physically and catching the right person could be diffic...

Thanks!! I got the good popup. Just hoping to see my name up there within the next day. But this is great information for those who get the bad popup. I'll keep it in mind.

Wow, that's super crazy. You did amazing then!! I heard that the false negative was only seen with borderline passing, like people who went to the 200s. Now I'm scared! LOL! But glad to hear you did just fine! Thanks for the insight!

Hi, may I ask what number you stopped at on your NCLEX?

Hang in there everyone. I do agree that the selection process doesn't really seem to make sense at all. No method to the madness. It sounds like you are all more than qualified, and I felt that way about myself too. I wish you all the best; whoever y...

Congrats everyone!! Keep us updated. I'm hoping I hear something soon as well. Are you ADN or BSN grads? Already licensed or still need to sit for your boards? What is your experience? If you don't mind me asking ? I just want to get a feel for where...

Hi, I'd like to join in on this thread so I can follow along with everyone's updates ? Looks like if you haven't taken the UCSD maternal nursing course you won't be eligible for the L&D position. I was bummed when I heard this; I wish they would ...

Hi there! I'm planning on applying to Palomar's fall 2019 new grad program. Did any of you get hired? What units? And how do you like Palomar? What's the starting pay?

Hi there! I'm planning on applying to Palomar's fall 2019 new grad program. Did any of you get hired? What units? And how do you like Palomar? What's the starting pay?

Thank you! Keep us updated on your progress too! Don't forget; Palomar will be opening their new grad positions on May 13th. Check their webpage for updates.

Damn. Not surprised! All good. I got hired onto my unit, will be starting the new grad program in August. I hope you get good news on your end as well!!

Gotcha. Hang in there! Sometimes the status doesn't match up with what the hiring managers' activities really are... I think that's because the New Grad listing that we all applied to is different from a regular listing. Because 1200 applicants all f...

@tidybear Southwestern is an OK school. Not the best but not the worst. We don't know why our failing grade is higher than city's. Every school is different

@cnq414 I have a friend who's waiting on them too, I think. Are you internal? Try emailing their educator to see if they've sent out notices yet. What other unit did you apply to?

I emailed the OR educator directly since I hadn't heard back in so long. No interview invitation, no rejection letter, nothing. Then she told me they actually already selected their candidate. I'm guessing it was someone internal, maybe from their u...

@Newgradrnsandiego hey, not sure if you heard yet but OR already selected their applicant.

I am thinking since our program starts so much later than CV and SMH that they aren't in a huge rush to start interviewing. LOL! But I do know one of my colleagues got hired in 2N/2S's new grad program. She's my classmate and is also a Grossmont empl...

Sure. I work in Obs and also applied to OR.

No change since March 8th. However I work in one of the units I applied for and my lead said as far as she's aware they haven't sent out emails yet. For the other unit I applied for, I emailed the educator a few weeks ago introducing myself, and have...

Nice! Good luck to us both. This wait is excruciating! Lol

Hey! Was wondering if you had already taken the peri-op course? I also applied for OR as my first choice. My current unit of work as my second choice. I'm internal, 3 years LVN, 1 year surgical tech experience. PACU preceptorship.

Ohhhh I see it now. It was in the original posting. Sorry about that!

Do you remember which part of it? Was your application internal or external? Maybe I'm crazy but I really just can't remember reading this! Lol ?

Where on the application did it say this? Maybe I missed it because I don't recall.
