  1. Politcally incorrect rant aka how my day went

    jelly221,RN replied to rngreenhorn's topic in General Nursing

    Hmm, sounds like just about every ER in Southern Cali. I dare not be more explicit than that for fear of sounding anti-immigration, which I'm not. But, our system is all busted

  2. Was this a A Violation of Hipaa?

    jelly221,RN replied to Trekfan's topic in General Nursing

    Apologies ahead of time for going off-topic! I have two pit bulls and they're the most wonderful, sweetest pups ever. I'm actually working with one to become a certified therapy dog right now. The...

  3. What advice to give?

    jelly221,RN replied to DNS on the go's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I'm a recent ADN grad, and this rings pretty true with my experience so far. I worked at a hospital as a nurse tech (basically a CNA) for 1 1/2 years during school, and was assured of a job there...

  4. UCLA New Grad RN Program-Winter 2012

    jelly221,RN replied to krx100's topic in California Nursing

    Well, if you have experience, you're not eligible for their "new grad" program. As far as I can tell from talking to friends who work at UCLA, it's just been the last couple of years that they REALLY...

  5. CHOC February 2012

    jelly221,RN replied to Lauren4268's topic in California Nursing

    I have several friends that work at CHOC (LA & OC), and they don't hire ADN new grads. They barely hire ADNs with experience.... sad

  6. UCLA New Grad RN Program-Winter 2012

    jelly221,RN replied to krx100's topic in California Nursing

    If you're an ADN applicant, they're looking for experience. No ADN new grads. Silly Magnet... I don't know why they aren't just up front about what they REALLY want in new grad applicants, which is a...

  7. LAC+USC interview new grad RN

    jelly221,RN replied to girl84's topic in California Nursing

    Oh wow!! So it sounds like the hiring process is going much more quickly for county hospitals than it used to. Congratulations, and good

  8. List your School Here if they do not Require the GRE's..

    jelly221,RN replied to justme1972's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Mount St. Mary's in LA doesn't require GREs. You do a timed writing sample after your interview that serves as the entrance criteria for a graduate level of study.

  9. New graduate... 23 y/o, no job hx... Where do I start?

    jelly221,RN replied to WuRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is a copy of something I posted on another thread. =) I just got a job, graduated June, boards in July. I consider myself EXTREMELY lucky and am still trying to convince myself it's happened. I...

  10. New grad with job offer...but not excited...

    jelly221,RN replied to april.rn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have a friend who worked mostly in community health for a couple of years. His last position was as charge nurse of a very well-known family ("free") clinic. He was accepted into UCLA's OR...

  11. ePortfolio?

    jelly221,RN replied to RainMom's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I really like this one- your school has to meet certain criteria to be listed, though.

  12. New Nurse NO Experience NEED HELP!!!

    jelly221,RN replied to newgradchad's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I just got a job, graduated June, boards in July. I consider myself EXTREMELY lucky and am still trying to convince myself it's happened. I spent almost 2 months applying online, etc., until I...

  13. From RN to BSN is it better to take online classes vs. Campus??

    jelly221,RN replied to Newbiestudent18's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think it depends on your future career goals. If you plan to enter a highly competitive advanced practice program (NP, CRNA, etc) many of the top schools don't view online degrees very highly (I...

  14. LAC+USC interview new grad RN

    jelly221,RN replied to girl84's topic in California Nursing

    Hey guys! I'm butting in too I guess.... Had my 1st HR interview at HUCLA on Thursday. The security guy told me that they've been hiring tons of nurses, so hopefully it'll continue. Good luck to...

  15. The University of Texas at Arlington

    jelly221,RN replied to zoeyzoe's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I'm sure we don't have the same books, but I've found my textbooks are cheaper renting than I could find on either ebay, half, or amazon- even used. I only bought one I knew I'd use throughout my...

  16. Attn: All ADN nurses!

    jelly221,RN replied to DarkBluePhoenix's topic in California Nursing

    BSNs DEFINITELY help!! I have an ADN and have gotten very far in the hiring process, only to not be given the job because the particular hospital was only hiring BSNs. I've also spoken with a few...

    jelly221,RN replied to Faeriewand's topic in California Nursing

    congrats!! What hospital did you get hired

  18. can young,healthy,athletic men have heart attacks?

    jelly221,RN replied to Lurker011's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, unfortunately a lot of the drugs that bodybuilders use do cause cardiomyopathy (clenbuterol, anabolics, etc.). Not saying this guy was definitely on them, but in that community it is extremely...

  19. Torrance Memorial Medical Center RN Residency

    jelly221,RN replied to nurse_16's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Don't know where you got Sunday from, but I called around 2:30 (right before I posted) and spoke with someone I know in HR and was told that my name wasn't on the list of people that were selected....

  20. Torrance Memorial Medical Center RN Residency

    jelly221,RN replied to nurse_16's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well I just called and found out I didn't get it, and in fact only 3 internals were hired. So good luck to everyone, and congrats Freshnewnurse! Guess that answers the question about Nurse Techs...

  21. New RN not able to advance, what is a proper resignation?

    jelly221,RN replied to S-RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's the same way here

  22. California's 2011 New Grad Program

    jelly221,RN replied to Faeriewand's topic in California Nursing

  23. Torrance Memorial Medical Center RN Residency

    jelly221,RN replied to nurse_16's topic in First Year After Licensure

    They didn't have any of our stuff in front of them, so if there's anything you want to highlight, make sure to bring it up. I had my portfolio there for them to look at, and they told me they didn't...

  24. Torrance Memorial Medical Center RN Residency

    jelly221,RN replied to nurse_16's topic in First Year After Licensure

  25. Torrance Memorial Medical Center RN Residency

    jelly221,RN replied to nurse_16's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You just have to be employed while you're in the program, or do the externship. The part where it says "New RN graduates... must be currently employed in an acute care clinical setting as a
