No i have never worked in kp prior working in oncology

Hi all! I just got accepted at KP and will start in a few weeks. Im going to work at Oncology. It seems like a good place to work (cross fingers). Can anybody tell me about KP riverside? Any info would be much appreciated! :) Thank you!

Yes, that's what I thought of too. I was lucky to even have a job offer in the first place. Thank you!

Hi! is 30.22 with 2 years experience a reasonable salary to work in a med surg unit? We are located in Inland Empire county. Thank you so much!

Thank you for your reply. Your right! In this economy, its hard to get a job here in CA Im kinna desperate. If hired, I will probably (might) just stick to it until i get a better hospital to work at. What hospitals here in IE would you recommend I target to get in? i applied everywhere. I applied in Riverside Community, KP fontana and ontario, Loma Linda... I thought having at least 1 year experience will help me get a job, but i guessed wrong. sorry, i'm just frustrated thank you again :)

Southern Hills Medical Center. I was a new grad and they helped me honed my skills. I love them.

It wasn't for me. I waited and waited for 6 months. Jan 09- June 09. I finally decided to try my luck in other states. I worked in Nashville as a Medical Surgical nurse for 1 1/2 years. Moved back to CA last month. Now i thought it will be easier for me to find a job. But no luck yet. But some new grads get their first job here in CA with no problem. So i think its just luck, timing and excellent grades.

I will have an interview on Thursday. I am just curious what is the working environment and what is the whole hospital like in general? Thank you for your time!

i read here that CA is not recomended for NCLEX because it will take to long for the processing. so what state do u guys recomend for me to apply fot NCLEX? btw im a foreign student and didnt take the local board exam so i would appriciate it if please put only the state that doesnt require CGFNS and local boards for foreign nurses. thanks in advance!!

hi everyone! i just joined allnurses.com today and i find it really informative, thats why i opted to ask some things that has been troubling my mind about nursing. im graduation this march 2007 and planning not to take the local board exam because i read here that i can directly take the nclex in california without my local board. im married to a us citizen so i guess papers wouldnt be a prob. my question is, im in the philippines and how do i apply my nclex to california. im not leaving till around late june 2007 to california. is my decsion right not to take the local board and directly take nclex already? can i pass my application as early as i graduate even if im in the philppines? how long is the wait for the nclex application to be process? do i need to take ielts before i take my nclex? thank you all.

this was posted few months ago but still was helpful for me. thanks
