Where were you able to check your status change for keck?

Thanks! I'll be on the lookout in January for that cohort

I believe Long Beach Memorial has a contract with CSULB for students to transition into a nursing role there after graduation if they interview and get the job, but not sure about the specifics.

Congrats!

Pediatric CTICU for me!

They post New Graduate RN positions randomly about 3 months before their start classes. Here is a link for some more info: New Graduate RN Program - Huntington Hospital Careers

Thanks for such a comprehensive answer!

Probably won't get a callback for a while because they say interviews will take place Jan 3-5, 2018 so not until a while!

Hi NewBSN2017 I believe that is the case too because we weren't able to select our units that instead the HR will place us in whatever units they see correlates with our experience. I think they will start contacting for interview mid December to end of December, but that's only from what I heard.

I spoke to the nurse recruiter and she said that by mid December to early Jan they will be contacting people for interviews!

I don't think they pushed back the program bc it's set to start the same times as last years I believe. Keep checking and by mid December they will probably have something posted!

Just a heads up Sharp Memorial has started interviewing for their ICU units so most people should have received interview invites.

Enjoy working 12 hour shifts because you get 4 days off to rest and recuperate. You do work really hard during those 12 hour shift though and they can be exhausting. But I enjoy working hard and then knowing I have rest of the days off.

I'd say it's helpful because then you go into the room knowing what to expect. It might make you a bit prejudiced towards the patient, but also you get a heads up that the patient is upset and from there you can really work on getting to understand why the patient is upset and working towards getting those interventions down for them whether it be pain meds or advancing their diet, etc.

Having CNA experience on your resume looks great and really helps you stand out after graduation when you start applying for jobs so I'd highly recommend it. Also, you get a chance to network in the hospital with the staff and the more exposure you have, the better!
