Hi, I applied to LA county hospital (Feb 2018) and passed the exam (April 2018). Now, I am officially on the eligible list for RN 1 position. I got calls from Harbor-UCLA and LAC + USC right after I passed the exam and scheduled interviews with them....

One of my preceptor was from the Hell... She was taking classes to be an educator. I feel so sorry for her future students. It seemed like she wanted to be an educator so that she could belittle new nurses in front of patients and doctors. She yelled...

I am wondering if anyone knows the best bra to wear while working. I wear regular bras from Victoria's Secret but they are slightly uncomfortable while moving around and walking around. The straps sometimes come off from my shoulders. Should I wear s...

I didn't take any math test either. Only the online test. I received the letter after I started getting calls for interviews.

It totally depends on the time. When I was called for interviews, many units were hiring. When my friend was called for interviews couple months after me, only 2 units were hiring. First, you need to pass online exam and be on the eligible list. Then...

Hi! I am sorry for late reply. You need to apply for RN I/Relief Nurse position, no for specific unit. You need to apply and pass online exam first. After passing the exam, you will be on the eligible list for the position for a year. Then, you can c...

LOL stay away from Victoria's. Yes, I always bought bras from Victoria's just because they are cute, but I started noticing that they are useless when I work and have to move around!! Thank you for the info! I will check out the site, A bra that fits...

Thank you so much for the info! I never heard about the brand, Knix. I just checked the Knix website, and their products look amazing!! They are the kind of bra I was looking for. I will buy some and try. Thank you again amandab13, LPN!!

Thank you for your advice! Yes, I should go to a real shop, not Victoria's. I usually buy bras from Victoria's and even though the shop girl measured me, the straps are falling down... I will look for real shops in my area. Thank you again!

Thank you for your kind comment and advice! Yes, I like tight one too. I am looking at some good sports bras online and hopefully will find "the one" soon. Thank you again for your time, BdgrRN!

I understand, but I wondered if there is any "go-to" bra brands for nurses, just like Dansko for shoes. I am new RN in the unit and somehow feel easy to ask this kind of question to "random internet strangers" than my co-workers (because I'm shy...)....

Wow I had a professor just like yours too. My professor was like that. I also had to drive long to get to the clinical site. So, I was so exhausted one day after my clinical and almost slept while driving on my way to home!!! It was so dangerous. Eve...

Thank you NapsAnd Nursing! I just received the appointment date for my physical today. I can't wait to start working. Hope you are enjoying working at Harbor UCLA!

Hi Neo, thank you for your comment. Yes I run run run as fast as I could. I am now RN and got a job at a better hospital, not at the one I worked as CNA. I am so happy I quitted the old hospital and didn't look back. The one I worked as CNA is now ...

Hi everyone! I like to hear your opinion about my CNA job. I have been working as part-time CNA at a big hospital for two year while I was in RN program. Recently, the hospital let go so many CNAs due to their financial situation. After the incident...

NapsAndNursing! Thank you so much for your reply. Wow yours took from July to Jan!? Oh well... I will try to enjoy this time off. One girl I met at HR office during my livescan told me she already had her physical. She was hired for ER department. I ...

Hi! I was offered a position at Olive View on 5/3 and did my livescan on 5/4. Since then, I am still waiting for the next step, physical screening. It has been 2 months, and I am getting impatient! I called HR and was told that I had to wait since i...

I was hired as a relief nurse at Olive View in the begging of May. I am still waiting for my background check to be cleared. I was told that it will take 6 to 8 weeks to complete the onbording process... oh well.

I am thinking the same thing! I am so sick of high cost of living, heavy traffic, and so many people everywhere! I don't want to disappoint you but my niece had not so good experience in TX. My niece who is doctor moved to Austin, TX for the exact s...

Thank you JustBeachNurse! My volunteer position says "RN Blood Drive," and it also says multiple location (van?). Oh Ok, I guess I don't do blood drawing. I like to provide refreshments to people too. I am excited!

MamaCatNeighbor I don't know if you have to apply to the school before the program. I took my prerequisites at Pierce... I think you had to write your student number on the program application, right? If you have taken any classes at any LA county co...

Hi everyone. I graduated from the program! It was tough program, but I learned a lot. You better study and study and study during the first semester. When I was in the program, we started 40 students and nearly 15 of them left after the first semest...

I just signed up to blood drive volunteer as RN. I am excited too! Will I have orientation before starting volunteer? Is there any training? I am waiting for any further notice regarding to my application. I hope I can start volunteering soon!!

Hi! I am taking the similar test, deductive reasoning test for new job. Please tell me about the test! Is there any practice question books I can buy or tutoring service. I am willing to pay for that. Please! I am nervous because if I fail I can't a...
