1. Best way to contact unsuccessful candidates after interview

   orangecampino replied to orangecampino's topic in Management

   Thanks for all your feedback. I ended up writing emails to all the unsuccessful candidates - personalized emails to the ones I'd interviewed, and generic emails to the 50+ who didn't receive an interview. I felt positive about my decision.

2. Best way to contact unsuccessful candidates after interview

   orangecampino replied to orangecampino's topic in Management

   Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I work at a moderately small centre (40 staff members) with no HR department, so most of these HR-type issues are up to me. I feel a lot better about the decision to email the unsuccessful applicants now - thank you...

3. Best way to contact unsuccessful candidates after interview

   orangecampino posted a topic in Management

   I am a new supervisor (2 months in) and I am already going through my first hiring process, so I'm learning as I go! I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on the best way to contact unsuccessful applicants after an interview? I had originally plann...

   orangecampino replied to andpeggy's topic in Public/Community

   hi futurdoc, i attended ubc school of nursing. for the last semester of school, ubc offers special "avenues" classes based on the students' interests - ie. public health, pediatrics, maternity, acute care, etc. i chose to take my avenues course in p...

5. To Swab or Not to Swab......

   orangecampino replied to Testa Rosa, RN's topic in Medications

   Yes, this. It is our health authority's policy to swab, and I think it makes sense because a) the tops of the vials aren't guaranteed to be sterile, and b) even if the tops were sterile, they could become contaminated as the cover is flipped off. Why...

   I received my BSN from UBC Nursing, and currently live in Vancouver, BC. I'm hoping to move to a smaller town on Vancouver Island when the right nursing opportunity comes up!

7. I need helping finding a nursing job that will allow me to sit once every 2-3 hours

   orangecampino replied to twalt500's topic in Disabilities

   Hi twalt, I'm not sure if you were asking me or someone else, but I am a registered nurse who did extra education in public health. I specialize in 0-5 year olds and their families, and sometimes it does feel like I'm more of a counselor/social worke...

8. I need helping finding a nursing job that will allow me to sit once every 2-3 hours

   orangecampino replied to twalt500's topic in Disabilities

   Have you thought about public health nursing? I am unable to stand for any period of time due to a chronic leg injury. For me, public health is a great career for me because sometimes I am sitting at my computer for charting, sometimes I am driving t...

9. Jobs for new graduate in BC (e.g. Victoria, Nelson)?

   orangecampino replied to LOTR_fan's topic in Canada

   The job market for new grads in BC is not very good right now, to be honest. Most new grads seem to get hired into positions on the unit that they did their final preceptorship in. But you never know - you could get lucky! I'd suggest talking to a re...

10. How much free time do you have in UBC's Nursing?

    orangecampino replied to pinkarat's topic in International

    It really depends on how much time you want/need to devote to studying and how good you are at managing your time! It probably wouldn't be a problem to have one weekly volunteer job. It's important to remember that clinical placements could be either...

    orangecampino replied to andpeggy's topic in Public/Community

    Hi jasn, Congrats on heading into your final practicum! I had a fantastic experience with my preceptorship in public health. I was lucky, because my two preceptors were very willing to provide learning opportunities for me. I found that there was a ...

    orangecampino replied to andpeggy's topic in Public/Community

    It probably depends on the health authority's policies, but it is possible! I did my final preceptorship in a public health unit and then got hired on as a new grad. They originally told me that they don't hire new grads, but I took additional course...

    Thanks Sandraann! I live and work in Vancouver (about an hour away from the American border). Whereabouts are you?
