My employee health appointment was just confirming vaccinations and they you fill out a quick health info sheet (any allergies, any medical conditions that could prevent you from doing your job, etc.). If you're missing any vaccinations or TB test or...

Anyone miss the call from the recruiter? They called when I was working and haven't been able to get in touch with them since. No responds to email and the phone number they left goes straight to voicemail.

Yes, I currently work on a med-surg tele floor.

Maybe 10 pages back in this thread, I remember a post from a nurse that got hired in one of the OC hospitals and they would not negotiate. I got the email from LCOM saying they're drafting an offer letter, but no official call yet. I'll definitely le...

Ah I see, yeah I accepted a night shift position for my current job and it was a big problem for me. I'm absolutely miserable on nights and there's a waiting list to switch to days which is why I'm leaving.

nice, are you day shift or nights? I'm curious because I was interested in ICU and OR but picked OR as my first choice because I cannot handle the night shift schedule and I figured most floor positions would be nights.

Thank you, mine updated 11/24

Same! Mine updated to “Surgery”, I picked OR as my first choice!

I guess that's better, but still not great, and yeah float pool sounds awful for a new grad. For those of you who took float pool, think carefully! I took the first job I was offered and regret it, which is why I applied to the TIP program even thoug...

Wow $31? that's even lower than some of the small community hospitals... Can any LA applicants confirm that's the rate for LA providence as well?

For those that got offers, do they specify if you're working day shift or night shift?

Did you hear back yet? I'm just curious because the deadline to have our background check & drug test cleared was the 14th... and labcorp somehow managed to screw up my drug test so I had to take a 2nd one but I didn't have it cleared on castlebr...

has anyone done their drug test from LabCorp already? how long did it take for results to post on castlebranch? thank you!

thank you! this is great news, at least those who do attend LASC won't have to worry about that factor.

I think more than anything, reading their messages made a light switch go off in my head that I was justifying going to LASC for the wrong reasons even though objectively (in my mind) SMC is the better program with better opportunities. Definitely th...

So despite all I've said in the previous post, I actually think I'm going to go to SMC. I reached out to a couple nursing students at LASC right now and based on their messages to me Ive decided I would rather not risk going to LASC due to their warn...

I still have time to decide but I'm going with LASC. There are a few factors that came into play, the main reason I chose LASC is for their concurrent BSN program with Charles Drew University. Graduating with an ADN and BSN in 2 years is very attract...

Am I the only one who thought the orientation was a disorganized mess? It seems like they didn't organize or plan out the orientation very well, the main speaker seemed unprofessional to me, especially the way she kept throwing shade at the other pro...

Without any experience in the medical field, I'd say don't work at all. If you had to, maybe just the weekends, because the reading alone is brain overload. thank you, that is very helpful

Thank you so much for your reply, I've been researching non-stop since being accepted which school I should go to, it's such a tough decision. One more question, are A's attainable in your program? SMC posts their grade distribution online and for so...

Accreditation Retention/Attrition Rates

NCLEX pass rate only tells you so much though, especially if you take into consideration the attrition/graduation rate. For example, SMC only has a graduation rate in the ~65% rate but a 95% NCLEX pass rate vs. LASC has a graduation rate of over 80% ...

maybe send them directly to the admin. assistant who helped you with your application? I can't say her name on here because of forum rules. She's the one who emailed me back, her last name startes with an E

If you read the links and watch the video I posted, the problems are not exclusively about the building. This is from BRN report Besides all that though, can you please tell us about the program? How are the professors, the clinical sites, have ma...

I took the TEAS at LA Southwest College and sent the scores to Elco (compton center), I received an email saying decisions should be out on or around Nov. 30th.
