Why do you say No chance in Hell? You never know. But if you have experience why not apply to surrounding areas if it's the Palo Alto area your interested in.

Yes, that would be great, could you Message me more information.

I mean you can send in 1288664 billion online applications, call HR till your fingers fall off, After everything done, does anyone ever call back for an interview? If so how long did it take for someone to call you for an interview?

Did you do foot work too? I've physically went in to numerous units, even where I did my clinical preceptorship, called, left messages, emailed, and nothing. I think if I actually received a phone call from a live human being, I would call back just ...

You called the HR department and just asked to speak to the hiring nurse for (blank) department ? I've tried calling, left messages, followed up with emails, and nothing.

Extremely annoying, but true I have a friend who was hired at Kaiser because her cousin knew the nurse manager and put in a good word for her, and guess what she was hired. It was quick too her cousin talked to the nurse manager and within a week she...

^, Thanks for the advice, but I can't walk into the HR dept because I've been applying all over up state, down, east, west, neighboring states. All over, and yes I have tried to target my resume for the hospitals I apply to. I have tried emailing, le...

What is expected of you, patient load, orientation/training how long is it, Will you be a floater, staff, hours, how many CNA's are you working with?

Laid off, I'm sorry to hear. How many years of experience do you have as a nurse? If you have more than a year you could work through a registry.

I'm hearing such horror stories from new grads working at LTC. Are there any new RN grads benefiting from working at LTC? Plus could you tell me more about patient load, staff/support of other co-workers, how many beds, pay?

Congrats on the job, what SNF are you working for? Hows the patient ratio?

WOW, that sounds scary, what area/city is this SNF at, from the link you posted did your SNF not meet requirments for staff? How much were you getting paid, if you don't mind me asking. I hope you find something better, good luck.

Have you started working for the flu shot clinics yet? Do they have a lot of positions for the SF bay area?

that makes me so mad that hospitals aren't willing to pay to train new grads, Heck ya I would sign on 2 years to work for a hospital.

I have spoke to Nurse mangers/HR/ Nursing instructors reguarding this question, and they have told me that you can try, but mostly likely it would be difficult as you can not work under your RN license as a tech. Regarding non-nursing jobs, many of t...

I am exhausted from sending out numerous applications, driving handing in apllications, making rounds to Nurse managers offices to introduce myself, and calling billions of stiffs. I graduated in may 2008, super excited to be starting my new carrer a...

Could you also PM me this list. Thank you

My experience has been the same, I went into a nurse manager's office to summit my resume and introduce myself, and He basically said, "I am not interested, even if I was I would not want to hire you." I thought to myself OMG, what did I do? I starte...

It is expensive for a new grad, since you probably do not have a job, but it doesn't hurt to get certified. I don't think you need to take the prereqs, because when I took my class they reviewed all the drugs used and EKG strips, plus most of the mat...

Thanks, good luck to you in SoCal.

I feel your pain, I've been looking as long as you, and have applied to numerous locations, and nothing. I"m not even sure if knowing someone helps, I've been constantly keeping in contact with the nurse managers where I did my preceptorship and stil...

I'm interested what snf is this?

I am not going to lie this test isn't easy, but you do what you can, you study prepare for it, call upon knowledge that you have learned through nursing school and give it your all and it will pay off. Try not to listen to your other classmates about...

Anyone still looking, because I still am and it is beyond depressing, I've applied everywhere and still nothing.

Anyone else have suggestions of which hospitals are hiring?
