I threw all mine away after passing the NCLEX! I kept all my work- like careplans and projects, but threw away all the class powerpoints and notes- I can't imagine EVER looking at them again, and it was fun getting rid of all that stuff. I kept my nu...

I just wanted to let you guys know I got a call this morning (they left a message) from Loma Linda. They didn't say in the message that they wanted me to come interview, but I assumed that's why they were calling. My first choice was Intermediate car...

I used to think it would be weird/awkward to give a thank-you letter in person after the interview, but the HR manager for the hospital I volunteered coached me a little before an interview and said that I should definitely write thank-you cards righ...

Thanks! No, I graduated in December 2010 and have applied to TONS of jobs since then. I am pretty sure they have contacted everyone already since I know another person that got hired in Med/Surg, so both Med/Surg and Tele probably chose all their hir...

Thanks!! I am SO excited and happy! I've applied to over 40 jobs and had 3 interviews total. I'm definitely taking the St. Vincent job since my only other prospect was with Planned Parenthood in Pasadena (still waiting to hear back after my interview...

I just got a call at 9 am this morning- I was offered a job on the Tele unit! :)

Congrats littleguccipiggy!! Only 1 more day left this week to get a call, I will be glued to my phone tomorrow!

Haha Littleguccipiggy, I feel the same way! I will definitely be obsessively checking this forum. My heart leaps at every cellphone ring too, and I get so disappointed when an unknown number turns out to just be my college's alumni association asking...

lovepeacelove- I live in Torrance, which is about 1 1/2 hours away. But I will be moving once I get a job! Thanks everyone for the info! I'll be waiting eagerly to get a phone call

Hi there, If you have a chance to do your preceptorship in OB, do it!!! If that's where you really want to work, the best chance you have at starting there right after graduation is to have your preceptorship in OB. I've been applying to tons of ...

According to the lady I spoke with, she said Intermediate care is like Acute, but "Spicier," lol. They get new diagnosis diabetes patients, sedation procedures, bronchoscopies, etc., and is just a step up from acute care with more nursing procedures....

Hey guys, I just got a call from Loma Linda- She just asked if I would like to apply to my second choice, Intermediate care since my first choice, Acute care, already had way too many applicants and they are only taking LOCAL applicants for acute car...

I'm glad I'm not the only one, I wish they had gotten the email address sorted out before posting the app! Good luck to everyone, and let us know if you hear anything!!

Hey everyone, just wanted to share my situation and see if anyone else had the same problem! I got a rejection email from Loma Linda on the 19th saying that my application was incomplete or I did not follow instructions. I was confused since I did ex...

Aww I'm so sorry you didn't get the position, I was excited for you that you had a second interview and thought you'd get it! I also got a rejection email today from the PICU but it must be 100 times worse for you since you got farther in the process...

Hi, I just got a call from them today. He said they are calling 30 people, then picking 20 to interview and 6 to hire. How did your phone interview go?

Just now got a rejection email

Ooh, thanks for the info! That makes me feel better, I didn't want to be missing any important documents! They shouldn't make that so confusing.

I just got the call from Fountain Valley and said my top 2 choices are Peds and NICU. I hope they are hiring for the new grad program!!

No, I didn't get a call yet. I'm a little confused on the application process- on the online application it says to bring your resume w/ pic, 2 letters of rec, and the additional paragraph to the initial interview, but then says that interviews won't...

Congrats to both of you that got PICU 2nd interviews! I'm super bummed because I have not heard from them yet. Do you think they called everyone already for 2nd interviews?

Well I can't answer your questions about what HR is looking for and all that, but I can offer input since I was in the CSULB ELM program.. I actually quit after getting my BSN last December and decided not to go on to the Master's portion, after MUCH...

I haven't heard anything either, but I'm dying waiting! I was told in my interview that they would take about 2 weeks to figure it out, then they would call people back for a panel interview on the unit. I'll let you know as soon as I hear anything...

Yep, that was one question I made sure to ask since I wanted to know what my odds were! And considering they could possibly interview 24 people max in a day, sounds good! I'm from Torrance, like 30 min away. Where are you from? I bet they could make ...

Haha I agree it was sooo short! They asked me 4 questions then asked if I had any questions, which I had a lot, haha. I forgot to say a lot of stuff I had planned on saying, oops.. They said they were hiring 10 into the PICU, and I should hear back i...
