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

    healinghands209 replied to piscesmama's topic in California Nursing

    Hi Guys, Can somebody send me a PM with the list as well. Still looking since December.

  2. F/T nursing school/program & NO work

    healinghands209 replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with BSN317 almost anyone can get approved for Stafford loans. I had pretty horrible credit (and very little income) when I applied and I got over $5,000 per quarter. I had federal & state...

  3. Exam at Coalinga

    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...

  4. Who has heard from Stanford New Grad Program?

    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...

  5. need info. from current CSUEB BSN students

    healinghands209 replied to momin96,98,99's topic in California Nursing

    Congratulations on getting accepted to the program! I graduated from CSUEB Concord in December and I can tell you with 3 kids you will definately need as much help with childcare as you can get....

  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...

  8. Interview at Coalinga

    healinghands209 posted a topic in Correctional

    I'm a new grad with a phone interview at Coalinga for RN (safety). I honestly have no idea what to expect and would love any advice from people who have interviewed with and/or work for the CDC. I'm...

  9. Interview at Coalinga

    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

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

    healinghands209 replied to piscesmama's topic in California Nursing

    Go to UCSF jobs, then search internships/training

  12. 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...

  13. Who has heard from Stanford New Grad Program?

    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...

  14. John Muir New Grad training program - huh?

    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...

  15. 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...

  16. 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...

  17. California Correctional Facility Nursing

    healinghands209 replied to velourchunky1's topic in Correctional

    I haven't received my results yet so I don't know for sure but I think the interview went well. I'm prohibited from disclosing the actual questions I was asked because they're standard for everyone. I...

    Congrats on landing the dream job (especially in this economy)! Waiting to hear back must have been tough. Good luck to you in your new career. I'm a new grad in California still looking for any job...

  19. Interview at Coalinga

    healinghands209 replied to healinghands209's topic in Correctional

    Thanks for your input. They start around $7200 which is pretty good but I have decided not to persue Coalinga afterall. I'm now looking at Napa State Hospital (minimum security, beautiful grounds and...

  20. California Corrections New Hire

    healinghands209 replied to Stumpy34's topic in Correctional

    The "test" is basically a questionaire to evaluate your level of experience. Click here if you have responded to a medical emergency, click here if you have acted as a charge nurse,etc. No worries,...

  21. For Those With Interviews

    healinghands209 replied to itsthegreeneyes's topic in Correctional

    Yup, it's me. I still have the CSU email but I don't have yours so send it to me if you can. Thanks for the lead on the cc county job. That would be a great opportunity. I don't know about the other...

    healinghands209 replied to glo16's topic in California Nursing
