   healinghands209 replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Nursing

   healinghands209 replied to ERDawg's topic in Correctional

   In case you haven't heard already many of the State psych hospitals are now on a hiring freeze as a result of the budget crisis. My hiring interview at Napa was cancelled a few days before my...

   healinghands209 replied to lovethepeople's topic in First Year After Licensure

   Congratulations on making it this far! My advice is to call them back (and keep calling utill you talk to somebody) if they don't call you. I waited for SMC to call back as they said they would and...

6. Who has heard from Stanford New Grad Program?

   healinghands209 replied to lovethepeople's topic in First Year After Licensure

   Unfortunately, I'm afraid if you haven't heard from Stanford yet they will not be contacting anyone else. I got a message from Stanford recruiters the second day after the position was posted, when I...

7. California's 2009 New Grad RN Program- Who's hiring right now?

   healinghands209 replied to piscesmama's topic in California Nursing

   We can't help you because all of us new grads in the Bay Area are faced with the same problem. No one is hiring new grads! Yes, there are a few places like Stanford and San Ramon Valley who are...

   healinghands209 replied to healinghands209's topic in Correctional

   Thanks for the honest advice. Napa is currently on a hiring freeze anyways (1st time in over 12 years I think). Don't know about any of the other state

9. Could you new grads that had trouble with job search do me a favor.

   healinghands209 replied to oramar's topic in First Year After Licensure

   I graduated in Decemeber with a BSN, have sent out nearly 100 resumes, got 1 interview and still don't have a job. Many of the New Grad programs around here have been cancelled and none of the...

11. Who has heard from Stanford New Grad Program?

    healinghands209 replied to lovethepeople's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yes, we kid you not, the market is really that bad, in fact it's TERRIBLE (at least here is the San Francisco Bay Area). I graduated with a 3.5 and a BSN in December and I'm still looking. Out of our...

    healinghands209 replied to lovethepeople's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I got a call from them on Tuesday - I was at work and couldn't talk to the recruiter at that time. I asked if she could please call back in 15 minutes or if I could call her back. I was told it was no...

    healinghands209 replied to nminodob's topic in General Nursing

    I spoke to the recruiter at JMMC recently and I was told they are not accepting any external applicants for the upcoming new grad program. I sounds like they only have a couple of spots that may go to...

14. Interview at Coalinga

    healinghands209 replied to healinghands209's topic in Correctional

    There are no current openings but they do expect to have a few toward the begining of June. I haven't looked into Metro but I'm sure there are plenty of horror stories at any of the forensic...

15. California Correctional Facility Nursing

    healinghands209 replied to velourchunky1's topic in Correctional

    The QAP for Salinas should be the same. Yes, nearly all the questions are scenario based and you don't need to know specific meds just be detailed and thorough in your answers if possible. Mostly they...
