  1. Need advice

    dienne replied to dienne's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thank you for your input. Yes most hospitals want experienced nurses I'm scared that if I don't take this offer, I'll never be able to be a nurse here in California because there are not many...

  2. New grad market improving?

    dienne replied to want2banrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's not improving here in Southern California. Very few openings for new grads and way too many people competing for them. Hospitals receive 100's and sometime 1000's of applications for the few new...

  4. White Memorial New Grad 2011

    dienne replied to namiani's topic in California Nursing

    wow 600 applicants!!! Yes I always wonder how they select people. It's a new grad program so I'm assuming experience is not important. Maybe they just call BSN people with a 3.5 GPA and higher. Just...

  5. Sharp Summer 2011 New Grad Program

    dienne replied to gettingcloser's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am sorry, you sound like a qualified candidate. Don't take it personally though, it's really hard to know what they're looking for. Plus I heard some 1,800 people applied!!!!! You have to realize...

  6. Retired nurses displacing new grads?

    dienne replied to lmnop's topic in California Nursing

    I agree with you!!!! I am a new grad who cannot find a job anywhere. Out of my class of 35 only 5 have RN jobs and just because they already worked at the hospitals! I can see that short term this...

    dienne replied to Faeriewand's topic in California Nursing

    Thanks for the information. After months of applying to hundreds of positions all over California and hundreds of rejections, this is the only interview I got. But it doesn't sound like a good place...

  10. Brownwood Regional Medical Center

    dienne replied to dienne's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thank you for replying and for the info. I was actually contacted by the HR lady at this hospital, I never really applied to the hospital so I don't really know how they got my resume. I live in Los...

    dienne replied to quietpatty's topic in California Nursing

  14. Should I request letters of recommendation for interview with LA County?

    dienne replied to quietpatty's topic in California Nursing

    No problem. Unfortunately it seems to be a loooong hiring process!!! But on the other hand, LA county are probably the only hospitals still hiring new grads in the Los Angeles area, so we have to be...

  15. Should I request letters of recommendation for interview with LA County?

    dienne replied to quietpatty's topic in California Nursing

    I have an interview too on Monday. When I asked what I need to bring they told me a copy of my RN license, BLS/ACLS card and if I wanted to a copy of my resume. They didn't mention recommendation...

  16. 7 months of RN experience

    dienne replied to herrin2011's topic in California Nursing

    I agree. I would not move to Los Angeles unless you have at least 1 year experience. There are very few jobs here and even experienced nurses are having a hard time. I am a new grad and I've been...

    dienne replied to MrNurseRN's topic in California Nursing

    I don't know where we are going to get our 1 year experience. I am losing hope . I'm very discouraged and depressed. I also applied in several other states but heard nothing back. I applied to LTC and...

  18. LA Career Fair March 29!!! FREE!

    dienne replied to MrNurseRN's topic in California Nursing

    I'll be there too, but I don't think we'll have a chance to find a job there. The few hospitals that are going to be there are not hiring new grads. And we have to wait until 11am before they let us...

    dienne replied to Faeriewand's topic in California Nursing

    Do you mind sharing what the interview consisted of? Did they ask you scenario questions, math, or was it more about your education and training in nursing school?

  20. California's 2011 New Grad Program

    dienne replied to Faeriewand's topic in California Nursing

    oh ok....so you didn't have to wait for that long :) Did you already took the exam? Or did they schedule for an interview? Harbor is a teaching hospital with lots of residents and students and I just...

  24. Sharp Summer 2011 New Grad Program

    dienne replied to gettingcloser's topic in First Year After Licensure
