  1. Great Bonuses!WOW!

    Some travel companies will also pay for your apartment and assist you with your utilities.
  2. Letting CNA pass your meds, bad idea?

    Being an LVN was very beneficial to me because I know my medications really well, and I can relate alot better to the LVN's that I work with. They are a very important part of the team and highly utilized here in CA.
  3. Letting CNA pass your meds, bad idea?

    I would agree that you are working under your own license. I was an LVN for years;however if a task is delegated to you by the RN then it is under hers.
  4. moving to california

    I had to laugh when I read your message about Hillbillies. I moved here from arkansas (but I am not from there). I am a city girl too. It is wonderful out here. So beautiful. I got my CA license in 3 weeks, permanent one. The secret is to call them e...
  5. Wow. I had no idea nurses would do that. I wrote mine with important points of what I had done and achieved at each job. I tried to make it stand out. I have gotten alot of positive responses. When I write a cover letter I stick to my experience.

  7. 23 mother of 2..don't know if should be RN or LPN?

    I was an LVN first for 12 years. I went back to school for my RN when my youngest was 4. I learned to study to beauty and the beast. Congrats on your new baby. I think you should go for your RN but take a program that allows you to take the LVN exam ...
  8. Letting CNA pass your meds, bad idea?

    As a former DON and a Nurse of many years. Always pass your own meds. I am not sure if you are joking but that is a huge no no.
  9. moving to california

    I would take the exam where you are and then apply for a Ca license. I think that would be less confusing. They are all testing the same way but you don't want to get lost in paperwork. SanDiego is a nice area. Welcome to CA.
  10. You'll never make it in California

    I wanted to clarify my response about the in home daycare. What I meant was that you could probably do that and not have to work outside and be with your son. I never did have to work weekends. Everyone wants to leave their child with a nurse. I am s...
  11. "ratios"? and pay in California?

    Every hospital that I have talked to still has nurses aides. We need them even though they don't provide you with nearly enough. The patients in the hospitals now are really sick and it takes two people to turn them etc. I always end up helping my a...
  12. You'll never make it in California

    I just made a suggestion. I have no idea what your situation is. I had an abusive husband who nearly killed me. I spent 5 days in the hospital worrying about my kids. I left CA and went to Arkansas. I have just now moved back.
  13. Foreign RNs -- please read first

    Oh, I wanted to add that I was already licensed in the states.
  14. Foreign RNs -- please read first

    I emailed the govenor and I had my license in three weeks.
  15. palomar medical center-question???

    I have very bad memories of that hospital. Granted they were years ago but my experience was not good. I had my third child there and the DR was really mean.He cut me and stiched me up without deadening the site plus he was just hateful to me. It was...
  16. You'll never make it in California

    I went on an interview today that went well. I have another interview on Tuesday. I also have about 5 other interviews. I was complaining and now they are coming in. 12 hour shifts are hard regardless; However, you are only working for 3 days. I hat...
  17. You'll never make it in California

    If you are looking for a job in LA that won't be a problem at all. There are lots of jobs there. Orange county too. I see ads all the time for new grads. Try some of the job sites like Ihire, career builder and monster.com. Post your resume. I have a...
  18. Info on VA hospitals? e.g. San Diego?

    When I was there the pay was not that good. It was a good hospital and the work was not bad but it didn't pay very well. It was a long drive for me so I left.

    She loves the school. She is involved in Cross country, drama and track. The problem that I am having is that everything available is so far away. Where do you live now?????
  20. You'll never make it in California

    I moved to Rancho Cucamonga, Ca. I have been here for three months. This is a small area but they have good schools, and I have a 16 year old daughter. I think half of my problem is that I don't know anyone. Alot of these positions are word of mouth....
  21. Help...DUI and a nurse?!

    I don't know. How high was your alcohol content. Can you fight it? I got one 15 years ago but mine was marginal and I got off. I think you will be ok if you go to a rehab but you would need to talk to the board of nurses. God Speed.
  22. Info on VA hospitals? e.g. San Diego?

    I Know for a fact that there is one in LaJolla. I worked there years ago. I don't think there is one in SanDiego.
