  1. I was wondering if you would be willing to let me know what are your advantages as a float pool nurse at your hospital. Flexible schedule, less weekends worked, more pay, choosing the units you want to go to... etc... I am trying to build a case for...
  2. Sorry so long, but I need some support, advice...

    I know it must be scary after being at home with the kids to join the work force and specially in the medical field where it seems that you need so much knowledge and there is so much responsability to be had, however I want you to think about this: ...
  3. Advice for interview

    Prepare for lot's of behavioral questions. Think of the patients you had and interaction with. Common questions are "Tell me of a time when you had to deal with an emergency? What did you do?", or think of conflict questions, with patient, family, ot...
  4. What are the chances of me getting this job?

    I think you have a great chance, considering the fact that you will be a nurse soon and hopefully work at the same hospital. Hospitals love hiring CNA's that are on the path to RN because they can learn so much and when they get hired as an RN they a...
  5. What do you NICU nurses think about this?

    I am a new grad peds nurse and I ran into this story. While is sounds nothing short of miraculous I am a little skeptical in believing that the events happened that way and a baby without Oxygen resource started spontaneously breathing without brain ...
  6. Well the problem is that for a new grad to find a job here is very hard. Do a little research and you will find out that new grads me included are without a position sometimes a year after finishing. So if you are coming from somewhere else, you migh...
  7. SFSU

    You have 3 chances to pass. I don't think I have seen anyone not pass at least the second time so just practice and you will be ok.
  8. SFSU

    Ha ha, I remember the feeling! You are ok to get a stethoscope, blood pressure cuff, pen light, scissors and forceps. You will need that .
  9. SFSU

    Just a little tip. The school will make you buy NCLEX review books that you will use throughout the course. They are quite expensive. On top of that the only book I would consider buying is Saunders NCLEX review. It has been voted the best review bo...
  10. SFSU

    You have to go at the pace of the program, you can't take your time and take a class here, a class there. The program is 5 semester long. My hardest class I would have to say was community health. We had to write a monster paper and a lot of us had t...
  11. SFSU

    The best segment III courses are holistic health (western and eastern perspective ) and Human Nature Global Perspective. I wouldn't worry about that until you get to second semester but don't leave them for the last semester. There is so much to do t...
  12. SFSU

    I am a graduate from the SFSU BSN nursing program and I want to congratulate the ones that got accepted. Just to release some of your anxiety I want to tell you a little about the campus and the program. The campus is big and beautiful but until the ...
  13. Still waiting for the official results from the BRN!

    yes I've received mine and I did pass. I received my license in the mail. Good luck!!!!
  14. STILL don't have a job?? Vent here!

    What really gets me is even when they do post a job and you have some hope you might get something, you have to jump through so many hoops and interviews. Sometimes I feel it would be easier to become the president of the US than to get a job as a ne...
  15. Jobs in CA

    You know, you might be luckier if you go to the midwestern states. I also read somewhere that El Paso is hiring new grads pretty easily. If you have the flexibily to relocate then just go anywhere for a year to get your experience. In California righ...
