  3. Sharp Summer 2011 New Grad Program

    boogeysmomRN replied to gettingcloser's topic in First Year After Licensure

  7. Your desired specialty

    boogeysmomRN replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    AMEN... I feel like an expensive clinic nurse! Most people don't know the difference between something that is an emergency and something they can go to Urgent Care or even their PCP for. Oh well......

  14. Anyone going to the next step with Sharp NG program 2010?

    boogeysmomRN replied to jerzie0820's topic in California Nursing

    I know a few people who have had phone interviews and have scheduled in-person interviews so far, but each unit handles their process differently, so it will all depend on what unit you have applied...

  15. Rady Childrens or Sharp RN Residency

    boogeysmomRN replied to Gem0607's topic in California Nursing

    oh! wow, ok, sorry, my mistake. Wow, it is definitely surprising that they haven't hired all from within. But that's great for all the new grads applying that aren't internal.

  16. Rady Childrens or Sharp RN Residency

    boogeysmomRN replied to Gem0607's topic in California Nursing

    I'm not sure how true the Rady's rumor is b/c I have a friend who is definitely not an internal applicant and was contacted for a panel interview just a few days ago. I would hope they give everyone...

    boogeysmomRN replied to Gem0607's topic in California Nursing

    Its really up to the individual units when they decide to contact applicants, I didn't get contacted until a week before their own deadline of contacting people who were to be moved forward. And even...

  20. How to "break up" with a preceptor...

    boogeysmomRN replied to boogeysmomRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wow, that IS awkward. I know its impossible not to take it personal, but it really is just the way that I need to learn vs him being a bad teacher. I chatted with another nurse who had the same...

    boogeysmomRN posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    boogeysmomRN replied to AggieNurse99's topic in First Year After Licensure
