Hi everyone! Was wondering if anyone was accepted into the March 2010 CHLA new grad residency. If so, it would be nice to hear from you and to get to know you before the residency starts. I was hired on Dec. 22, 2009 to work on 6 West. I am really ex...

Cool! Good luck!

CHLA includes the salary in their application packets... they are very upfront with that. You can PM me if you would like, it may take me a little while to get back to you though. :)

I did hear a rumor that they would only be accepting BSN's from now on, but I cannot be 100% sure. I got in with just my ADN for the March 2010 cohort. I would try anyway. Good luck!

All is going well, so far. The Versant program at CHLA is awesome. The next cohort starts in September. There are 3 interviews, one with HR, one with the floor manager, then one with the floor nurses (I think), I actually only had 2 interviews, but m...

I am looking into UT Arlington as well. Great price for an RN-BSN, am afraid there is a catch though. Do you know if their degrees are accepted to most universities after graduation for MSN degrees?

well, i took the nclex-rn today finished in 1 hour, 75 questions. i knew about 1/3 of the questions, 1/3 i didn't know at all and 1/3 i was kind of unsure of. i had 2 math questions, 6-8 sata, quite a few delegation/priority questions, a lot of pharm...

Not for March cohort. They will start accepting applications again in April 2010 for the September cohort.:hpygrp:

The PVT really works! I took the NCLEX on Sat. Jan 16 did the PVT trick less than an hour after my test and got the "good pop-up" and found my name on the BON website on the 20th! I am walking on air right now!! Good luck to all!! Oh, and a friend o...

Can't wait to hear you got the "good pop-up" Jmoney!! GOOD LUCK TODAY!!

Congratulations!!

I am very happy! Can't wait to have the PVT trick confirmed, just for peace of mind. I took the test at 1pm, got there at 12:30 and they took me in right away, which was great, I was so ready to get it over with. I used the NCSBN questions for 3 wee...

Dear Rn-2-b-n-09, I took the NCLEX-RN this afternoon, tried the PVT when I got home and got the "good pop-up" (Less than an hour after taking the test) So to answer your question. YES the PVT does work on Saturdays! Good Luck!:yelclap:

Good Luck JMoney! I am taking NCLEX on the 16th! I am so nervous. I have been incorporating reward time after my study time as a way to keep from getting burned out from studying! Last night I went and saw Riverdance. I also go to the movies, get my ...

Congrats!! I hope I can post that I passed soon too! Taking NCLEX on Jan. 16th. You are an inspiration to all of us!

Taking the NCLEX on Jan 16th! I too took the ATI predictor and it said I had a 98% chance of passing. Let's hope it is right! I am doing the NCSBN 3 week review, Saunders, Hurst Review and NCLEX incredibly easy questions, I try to do 100 questions ea...

I too am taking the NCLEX in January, the 16th to be exact! I wanted to take it earlier just to get it over with, but it was the only day available. I have been studying the Hurst Review Book/CD, doing 100 questions a day from Saunders, Hurst and NCL...

Well, after my 2nd interview with the floor manager, I got a call 3 hours later with a job offer at CHLA. I am so excited! The new grad residency starts in March 2010.

I just graduated from nursing school on Dec. 12th at the age of 47! I got a job 10 days later and I think my age helped me get the job. They were very happy with my previous work history and life experience. Another plus we have is when we start work...

I just graduated Dec 12, 2009 from MSMC ADN program. I have to say, 10 days after graduating I was offered a job at Children's Hospital of L.A. (today!) and I believe it had a lot to do with having the degree from MSMC. It also helped having the cli...

I sent it in October, around the 20th or so.

Hi Peachsnapple, I have an interview on Monday (prescreening). When is your phone interview? Did you have the prescreening interview already? If so, can you give me some tips on what the interview was like and what they asked you? Thanks!!! I am so a...

I too have had carpal tunnel due to typing, was retrained to be a dialysis technician (talk about a physical job!) But that is when I fell in love with medicine, I am now in nursing school, I graduate in Dec 09. I had surgery in 2004 in both hands, a...

Thanks for your insight. I too was a parent of an NICU baby and I am now in nursing school with an interest in working in NICU. I appreciate your advice about keeping good boundaries...I will keep that in mind if I end up there. thanks!

Hi TheresaB, I have a question for you in regards to being a travel nurse. I am currently in my last year of nursing school, my husband retires in 3 years, and I was thinking about traveling after some time in the hospital. Do you find that nurses tr...
