2. Online Certifications BLS/ACLS

   jym596 replied to NurseJ923's topic in General Nursing

   I'm pretty sure any AHA courses require at least an in-person demonstration. The certification is the same for all courses as long as they are AHA, but as the previous commenter mentioned your...

3. so many questions I don't know where to stop

   jym596 replied to Pendy79's topic in Nurses Recovery

   I don't think anyone on here can answer that for you. It sounds like you need to speak with an attorney and maybe the BON to see if they will even allow that. A lot of attorneys do free consultations...

   jym596 replied to pattipepperoni's topic in General Students

   I think it depends on what your ideal timeline looks like. I know personally, I wanted to graduate and start working ASAP, so I relocated across the country for a program that allowed me to do that. I...

   jym596 replied to Queennurse56's topic in General Students

6. Should I pursue LVN or ADN?

   jym596 replied to Daniellednm's topic in General Students

   Pay will depend on your region, as will employment prospects. I think it's pretty safe to say that RN will make more (how much more depends) because there is more education that comes along with it...

7. HESI

   jym596 replied to mlodr12's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

   Are you talking about the exit HESI or a specialty exam? I'm fairly certain they change the HESI every time for test integrity purposes. Your best bet to prepare is to do practice questions and know...

8. "Your Best Grade" for Hesi exit exam

   jym596 replied to raina2891's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

   YBG is helpful but you have to know how to use it. If you do the same exact practice test over and over, you're going to get the same questions LOL. I found the rationales more helpful than the...

9. New Grad Residency

   jym596 replied to Mochipotato's topic in Nurse Residency Programs

   most new grad programs in LA seem to be tailored to a traditional graduation date of May or December, with typical start dates 3 months out from graduation. Unfortunately you just have to search...

    Can those who are getting interviews post their application stats? I'm planning to apply to the next cycle so want to be able to temper my expectations

11. Children's Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) RN Residency Fall 2025

    jym596 replied to almostmsn's topic in Nurse Residency Programs

    Would anyone who got an interview for PICU or CTICU be willing to message me to chat about application details? I didn't get a first round interview and am trying to figure out how I can improve for...

    My application on the website still says "in review" so I'm holding out hope LOL. I hope they at least email with a rejection so we aren't all waiting around holding our

    jym596 replied to almostmsn's topic in Nurse Residency Programs

    Yes! I just meant anyone who applied for that unit. I wasn't sure if they sent out interview invites by unit or not

    jym596 replied to almostmsn's topic in Nurse Residency Programs

    They said they don't look at GPA or experience, so I'm guessing responses to essay questions and cover letter would be better to share
