I was in Mobile, Alabama in 2017. It was an African-American gentleman who cooked my vegetable fried rice.

You have to look into the cause of the problem. Yeah...some lack of diversity; but some zip codes are predominately white, black, Hispanic or Asian only; and you cannot force some companies to hire nurses from different racial backgrounds in that situation.

I went through the 2008 housing bubble. We had so many hospitals closing in New York City as well as across the Hudson River into New Jersey. It looks like we will have another economic slow down right after the November election. If you have a nursing job now, you should be happy to have something to pay your bills. During an economic downturn, some retired nurses will come out to work again. New grads will be harder to find work. Freeze on hiring will be a norm. Think before you quit. This economic recession will be larger than the one we had back in 2008.

1199 is good! Go for it.

Some patients and their husbands will definitely ask for female nurses in L&D Units. Therefore, you will need to prepare for rejection.

I hope this is not late. I was a LPN licensed in New York. I became an RN in 2004. I am also licensed in California, Texas, Alabama and Georgia by endorsement. Originally, I finished my AAS degree in New York City and passed my NCLEX in New York. Let me answer your question(s). Both New York and California are not members of the multi-state. Therefore, you will need to be licensed by endorsement. If California is not a multi-state member, you will need to endorse your licenses in those states you want to work unless you change your primary state of residence. Let's say I will change my primary state of residency from New York to Texas; then I will be able to work in many states with just a Texas license. Of course, you will need to pay a fee to change to a multi-state license-Texas. Once you have your New York license, you will not lose your California license unless your have lost your license due to incompetency or drug use or debilitated mental state. Did I just answer your questions?

Misinformation and lying are his specialties; but people will still vote for him next month...unfortunately!

You must disclose it. Period.

Anyone knows the patient ratio there at St. Francis Medical Center located in Lynwood, Los Angeles area? There will be no written confirmation for an orientation date. Is this what hospitals do in California?

If you quit your job now, your boss can report you. Stay there for another 2 months, then quit. It is politics, you have to learn how to play it.

Yes, you should say something if you see something that is not rights during CPR or ACLS.

Don't worry about it! It is her right to report it. BON receives hundred of thousands of c/o every year. You will be safe!

Don't tell me you have never seen a racist nurse in your life!!!!

As of yesterday, how the virus spread is still a speculation. Where is the virus coming from is also a speculation. Just be careful when you posted something like this. Other nurses do have the right to question your ability to think clearly. If I visited Russia 5 times in the past 2 years, that does not make me to become a specialist regarding to Russia.

I am 55 years old and graduated from an RN school 17 years ago. I do have many years experiences in various fields. I remember that I had a face to face job interview in one of the hospitals inside the Texas Medical Center. It was dated back to 8/5/2019. Before the interview, I was so scared about ageism. Anyhow, I was offered a Med/Surgical job right after I passed the pharmacology test being conducted in the HR Department. I think it depends on how you present yourself to the Nurse Manager and the Director of Nursing. In other words, how you sell yourself during an interview it is very vital. Have you consider to relocate for just one year? Alabama will be a good fit if you don't have experiences as a new grad. The pay is low but once you have experience, your chances of getting a job will be higher. By the way, I had very bad experiences with HCA. I hope this help.
