  1. Sharp Summer 2011 New Grad Program

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

    I applied to the Grossmont Residency as well, and Mary Birch NICU. I also heard that it takes at least a month after you apply to hear back from them. Let's hope we get phone calls in the next couple...

    MisterSimba replied to nursejaneRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yes, if you log in to check your status, it'll have a rejection notice posted. They also send a rejection letter by mail. Here's hoping we get interviews instead of

  3. CHOC New Grad Program Summer 2011

    MisterSimba replied to nursejaneRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Same here. I've already applied to CHOC twice before (first med-surg, then oncology) and never even got an interview, but this time around I have NRP and PALS, so I'm hoping I'll get an interview this...

  5. Is it time to leave Arizona?

    MisterSimba replied to silentRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Where in Tucson? I'd move out there in a heartbeat for a new grad job. I'm in CA... I'm planning on applying to University Medical Center when their new grad application opens, but I don't know what...

    MisterSimba replied to Traum-a-Rama's topic in General Nursing

  7. California's 2011 New Grad Program

    MisterSimba replied to Faeriewand's topic in California Nursing

    No, it's not for people who have been hired already. It's for new grads interested in Hoag's new grad program. They definitely don't interview people on the spot, although they do take your resume. In...

  8. California's 2011 New Grad Program

    MisterSimba replied to Faeriewand's topic in California Nursing

    I'm signed up for the info session at Hoag, but I'm not sure I'm going to go. It depends on if I can get off work two hours early or not. I went to the last one, and spent most of my time in...

  9. RNs tell your hospitals to hire new grads

    MisterSimba replied to DedHedRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    There's actually quite a few new grad nursing jobs across the country, including new grad residencies that may offer as much as several months worth of training. The problem is that there are usually...

  10. California's 2011 New Grad Program

    MisterSimba replied to Faeriewand's topic in California Nursing

    Sharp starts in July, not April. And things are definitely not better in LA and OC! I've been looking there too since I graduated at the end of

    MisterSimba replied to WillowNMe's topic in General Nursing

    My parents are still young and healthy, are both retired and spend their time traveling the world. I hope they both remain healthy and independent for many more years to come, but when the time comes...

  13. Loma Linda Children's 2011

    MisterSimba posted a topic in California Nursing

    New grads: Did anyone else apply to Loma Linda Children's Hospital's new grad program this past week? I just thought I'd start a thread for those that did, so we can keep each other updated as far as...

  14. Torrance Memorial Medical Center RN Residency

    MisterSimba replied to nurse_16's topic in California Nursing

    I applied, just for the heck of it. Given my experiences over the past six months, I'm not getting my hopes

  15. Is NICU for the soft-hearted sensitive types?

    MisterSimba replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Well said! I had a patient in clinicals who was not thrilled to be in the hospital at all. I walked into his room to introduce myself and get his vitals, and he said something along the lines of,...

  16. Loma Linda Children's 2011

    MisterSimba replied to MisterSimba's topic in California Nursing

    Based on what HR said, they only give your application to the unit you picked as your first choice, so those of us that picked NICU are not getting a chance at interviewing for our second and third...

  17. Loma Linda Children's 2011

    MisterSimba replied to MisterSimba's topic in California Nursing

    Just FYI, one of the guys in HR said that they only send your application to the unit that you chose as your 1st choice. The units that you chose as your second and third choice don't get your...

  18. Advice for a new grad!

    MisterSimba replied to missladyrn's topic in General Nursing

    What she said! I've applied to dozens of new grad programs, and they all had several hundred applicants for a dozen positions or less. The fact that they selected you for an interview is a huge deal....

  19. What should I do?

    MisterSimba posted a topic in General Nursing

    I need some advice! I applied to a new grad program at a CA children's hospital a few weeks ago. A classmate applied a couple of days later, to the same unit (NICU). She got a call last Tuesday and...

  20. What should I do?

    MisterSimba replied to MisterSimba's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! I'm thinking the same thing! I like the part about asking for a tour! My parents think it's a bad idea to call, but I'm losing my mind just waiting for my phone to ring! Every time my phone...

  21. Confused on how to start a career in OB

    MisterSimba replied to clemoi's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have the same questions and concerns as you. I have my heart set on a job in peds, and am worried that if I start out in adult med-surg, it'll make it that much harder to get a job in peds in the...

  24. New Grads Today v. New Grads From Years Ago

    MisterSimba replied to sj73201's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My school was the same way. We were assigned patients the morning of clinicals and had to go over the meds and the chart right then. We did have to do care plans afterward though, so there was still...

  25. New Grads Today v. New Grads From Years Ago

    MisterSimba replied to sj73201's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The funny thing is, I didn't think nursing school was all that difficult, and I did an accelerated 15-month second degree program. I graduated with a 3.8 GPA, and passed the NCLEX a month later: 75...
