  1. Is anyone in the RN program at Everest in Ontario?

    NickiLaughs replied to newbee57's topic in California Nursing

    Go to the info session..they have them twice a week...and they get a FULL HOUSE. I'm guessing they will have a good 400 applicants easy for the 80 spots in july. My husband and I went to an info...

  3. JOBS??

    NickiLaughs replied to SleeplessNCA's topic in California Nursing

    To put it in perspective, where I live in so cal, there are more jobs than the bay area. But there is STILL a lot of competition. I know I'm not going to get my dream job, at this point I just want...

  5. JOBS??

    NickiLaughs replied to SleeplessNCA's topic in California Nursing

  6. Job woes in the SF Bay Area... why is it like this?

    NickiLaughs replied to NTPinky's topic in California Nursing

    The reason they will send these nurses to America is because many of them send money home to their families, and the money is spent in their countries, strengthening their economy... I agree with you....

  7. Multiple Job Interviews...Help!!!

    NickiLaughs replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    NickiLaughs replied to jenniferboggan's topic in California Nursing
