Just got a call this afternoon, and I got an offer for a limited term RN position!! The lady told me to expect a packet in the mail, forms, fingerprinting, etc. in a day or two! Excited!

thanks kora0880, is it also for CTF? Congratulations! I just got a call today (3 working days from my date of my interview) from personnel to clarify if my preference permanent or limited term, i just said i'm open for both. The lady then said I'll hear from them shortly. No job offer yet. But I'm hoping that's a good sign!

Today, I interviewed for an RN position for CTF and/or Salinas Valley State Prison. I forgot to ask at the end when will they decide on which candidate to hire. Anyone here based on experience know how long was the wait from the time you interviewed to the time you were offered the position? Thanks!

:redbeathe Yes, I did apply!! =) How did you guys find out about the job opening? Just curious. I saw it on Indeed.com Good luck to us all !

does your status say "forwarded to manager"???

wow. 425 huh. that means applicants have about 2% chance of being hired! better than 0%. =) thanks for the update! did you guys apply?

I called HR earlier, and said that the job posting will be taken off their website at 5pm today.

Call the Human Resources office of the hospital and ask if they have positions for student nurses. Some hospitals do!

GOOD MORNING! I applied to many NEW GRAD RN programs here in California. Still, I'm very hopeful the right one will come along. With prayers, God will bless me with the right career path. Here's a most recent job opening for all you new grads out there: Washington Hospital in Fremont, CA http://whhs.com/careers/ I applied for this position as well and according to the status, my application was forwarded to the Manager. :redbeathe. I'm excited, & hopeful. Di, RN

Hi, RNLola035, how did you apply at Washington Hospital in Fremont? What is their preferred way of applying? Are you still working there? How do you like it?

AT LEAST YOU PASSED! :) Look at the bright side! If you want a higher score next time, work on truly understanding the material. Sometimes students tend to study for the test, not to study to learn. Nursing exams require critical thinking and sometimes it helps if you visualize youself. Ask yourself, "What would I do if I'm at the bedside right now?" ...if it's that type of question. You may also want to try flashcards...these would be helpful when NCLEX-RN comes along, too! Good luck on your future exams...because there will be plenty more!!! :)

An RN program surely will take you at a minimum 2 yrs to complete once you're done with your prereqs. I support you starting out as an LVN and work your way to an RN degree...since you said you need to work ASAP. This I think is the better path for your needs as of right now. Another 2 yrs of not working is a really long time for a single mom as yourself. BUT definitely work on getting your RN as soon as you get your LVN license and working.
