  3. Working for the County of Los Angeles-Advice

    I had a civil interview at Olive View a few months ago. I just walked in and applied. They told me they're no longer doing the test. I recently got my interview results, i passed and now I'm waiting for a position to open up. I had a copy of the self...
  4. Darn, just missed it! AHMC will be having a job fair on 8/20 and includes various San Gabriel Valley hospitals. They will be having walk-in interviews and from my understanding some of their hospitals will be having a new grad pgrm....just not sure w...
  5. I saw a position online today that says "student nurse" is that what you applied for or did it actually say "new grad"? I had applied online for a position about a month ago, I called to follow up and it's kinda weird that someone from HR told me the...
  6. West Coast Univ LA- anyone attend/attending??

    I just graduated from the ADN program at WCU this year, and I HIGHLY recommend it. Personally, it was an excellent investment. Administration cares very much about their students and the teachers all very experienced and knowledgeable. Good luck!
  7. It seems like every online job search I've done always comes back with multiple job openings for both Encino and Tarzana hospitals. I did one of my clinical rotations at Encino Hospital, and it appeared to be a nice and friendly place to work for. I...
  8. Application process at Casa Loma College?

    Hello, I attended the LVN program at Casa Loma in 2005. From what i remember it was quick and easy to apply. I attended an information session before applying. I applied in person and met with Diana (admissions rep) she was really good. I don't know...
  9. S. California Community College Nursing Programs

    Hello! My best suggestion is to apply to all of them! I applied to all of those but antelope valley and i still ended up waiting about 3 yrs to get into a program. You might also want to consider the L.A. County College of Nursing and Allied Health....
  10. Don't believe it! Try another school, there's a lot of schools out there. Do your research before. Call around. Here's a few other schools: 1. Casa Loma has a Hawthorne and Van Nuys campus 2. Pasadena City College (it has pre-requisites) 3. Preferred...

    I'm a student and very interested in becoming an NICU nurse. I'm curious to hear how you got into it. How were you trained? How long have you been doing it? What other areas did you work in? Any replies would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
  12. Does anyone had any first hand expirience with this school. Any info would be greatly appreciated.:thankya:
  13. West Coast University?

    1) They don't require a 2.5 GPA for your sciences, like the other schools. The classes do have to have been completed within 5yrs with a C or better. I'm not sure about having repeated a pre-requisite. They would have to evaluate your transcripts. 2)...
  14. west coast university alumni please help!

    Hello, If you have all your pre-reqs done and they're credible, I think WCU still makes you take their chemistry. They're not taking the basic chem that's offered in community colleges. They say its because its not the same as what wcu teaches (even ...
  15. I'm a nurse of course and my boyfriend of 5yrs is a tattoo artist. I sometimes feel weird telling fellow nurses that. I have no problem with his profession. Just curious, anyone in similar situation?

  19. Old School

    I'm a fairly new nurse (~1yr exp.), and I find it SO much easier to use a manual Spyhgmometer than a an electronic one. It takes me longer to use a electric spyhg, not only that, I've found the they're not always accurate.

  21. Follow the yellow brick road?

    I think getting your LVN/LPN will definitely work out best for you. It will help you get your feet wet in the nursing field. Here in CA, the wait is about the same for both bridge program and the regular program. Good luck!:)
