How is everyone???

It is never impressive for employer to hire someone who "bad-mouth" their current job. It is just not how you want them to see you. Instead, make it sound that you can be an asset to the facility and given your experience you can care for the patient...

Hi guys, I just got a job offer from the said hospital but they are giving me a full time position. My husband said that I should just get per diem so we can work around our schedules...Any thoughts? Its so hard to get a bsby sitter based on our sche...

Hi everyone! Need your advise...My husband works nights in 3 12s. I just applied in the same hospital and the interviewer said I could potentially get the day shift because that is where vacancies are. We have 2 children, a 10 yo and a 3 yo. I have n...

its nice to have a day care in the hospital:) but im not sure if they have that in the hospital i applied for...

Thanks so much! That's a very good idea but I will probably get the day shift because I need all the training I can get. I think one of the available units is detox. My husband said that the day shift in this unit is really busy but I told him I don'...

Thanks:)I'm sure they offer such program there in San Diego! You can search for it online:)

I saw a 9-day Nurse Refresher Course with the California School of Health Sciences, will that be ok? Is that enough? I agree with you in terms of learning the procedures here and to gain more confidence before really handling patients...That's the re...

Hi Suzanne, I'm not sure where I can get these refresher courses. Where can I possibly look? Is it through schools???

Hi Suzanne, Thanks for your advise...I really hope I get a job before I move mid July but if not, I'm willing to wait when I'm there. My husband has been there for 2 years now and we have been apart for that period of time. He said that I can also ap...

Good for you!!! My limitation right now is that I'm out of state so I am not able to go to job fairs there... I sure hope I get into these programs. I am even willing to sign a 1-2 year contract for the training.

I can actually in the same situation. The only difference is that I graduated way back 1992 and never had any clinical experience except school. I was into different fields in the Philippines because the pay for nurses there is way too low...I hope w...

Wow!!! That's a lot! Thank you so much Hands and Heart:) Will check these hospitals. By mid-July, I will be in the Costa Mesa area. I am currently in Portland, OR and I sure do hope I can get into their programs within this year:) Goodluck on your jo...

its in the sticky on top of the forum...click on the NCLEX discussion forum and its there...:typing

has anyone tried suzanne's plan??? it is really very simple but it works. NCLEX is not just about content, its also about application and analysis. You can only achieve this if you are able to know what they look for in an answer...Doing questions ev...
