1. Becoming an CNA before nursing school

   HappyRN replied to FutureCRNA1999's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm a New Grad RN 4 months into the job and one thing is clear. I wish I'd been a CNA in a hospital 1st!! I did an ABSN program for those who already had a BA/BS in another field, so my clinical program flew by. I have a deep science/medical backgro...

2. Providence TIP Program April 2020

   HappyRN replied to TRH's topic in Job Hunt

   Yes you get to take N95 & face shield home. Might help to bring a bag. So it's vaccinations, vision, fit test, and if needed bloodwork.

   HappyRN replied to TRH's topic in Job Hunt

   Tip - I was told by the recruiter that the official name for Providence is now "Providence St. Joseph" so that may be adding to everyone's confusion. So it could be "Providence St. Joseph, Little Company of Mary, Torrance." HTH!

   Califnurse1119 sorry for the late reply. My friend said they were the only candidate in their time slot and the interview was a panel of very nice people enthusiastic about St. John's. They said questions included a few general topics - why St John...

10. CHLA RN Residency March 2020

    HappyRN replied to nikkiim226's topic in New Nurse

    Sorry for the delay. My rejection/thank you email was for Med Surg (D5)/Duque 5th floor. This means there's still hope for other units and especially those who applied to Med Surg (D5), but did not receive the email! Good luck all ?

    HappyRN replied to socalgal114's topic in Career Support

    I think you're right JoCl89! I looked at the last cohort thread and they said the first part of the interview was a panel and the second was with Unit managers. For the second part, they were given case studies/scenarios. I'm not sure if that's the ...

    One of the recruiters said interviews would take place on either 11/6 or 11/8. I saw openings only on the 8th, but I may have been contacted on the second batch. But that's only a guess! ?
