I currently work on a mother/baby unit and I have no kids! Not having kids does not hinder my ability to provide care to my patients. I also get told I look young too!

I am feeling the exact same way! I just started the first semester of the FNP program and not 100% sure I would like to do this. I am also working and trying to complete the post masters FNP in 1 year. I am confused, but glad to know I am not the o...

I worked full time while going to school for my MSN (almost done). I will start the FNP program in August and will work part time, but I have a feeling I will eventually go per-diem because I will be required to attend clinical a minimum of 3 days p...
I am currently in an entry level masters program. I have been working in postpartum/nursery for the past year and will start the FNP portion in August. I have zero med/surg experience and went directly into OB as a new grad.

I had my interview back in March and passed. I received a call from the RN recruiter a week ago to set up an interview for a RN position at LA+USC Hospital. Thought it was kind of odd they were calling me because I i thought we had to call them to ...

I am too a new grad and interviewed with LA County back in March. I passed the interview and they told me I would have to call around to the various hospitals to see if they are hiring. I now have a job at another hospital but I received a call from...

My initial interview was with HR at LA USC County Hospital. I actually just received a letter in the mail stating that I passed the exam (interview) and my name is placed on the eligible list for registered nurse positions. When I had my interview,...

I only attended day 1 of orientation because that same day I was offered a RN position closer to my house and in the unit I wanted to work in. Do you work at Glendale?
Amanda1985 replied to BellasRNmommy's topic in California
I was surprised by the amount of people they hired. They had 3 shifts (day, evening, night) for each unit to fill. So for L&D there were two CPOE users for day shift. I am not sure about the other units. They didn't say how many they would hi...

The pay at Glendale was what their new grads make. And during downtime you can assist the RN, but no medications, no IVs, no procedures (foleys,NGT,etc). It's a good way to get your foot in the door and interact with managers and other staff member...

Is it a phone or in person interview? When I applied to Glendale Adventist it was a phone interview first and then a open house interview. They ended up hiring around 60 people. I was offered a position there on the L&D floor on day shift. Som...

BellasRNmommy: I was offered a position at Glendale Adventist for the "CPOE Superuser" position, but declined it due to another job offer. I think it's the same type of job you are mentioning. You are basically assisting the staff to help ease the...

I'm a new grad in California that was hired for couplet care. I would suggest NRP and Basic Fetal Monitoring. The director informed me that if an applicant didn't have NRP she wasn't even considering them.

Thank you! I feel bad because I know there are many new grads that are searching for jobs and here I am declining offers and interviews, but I know I made the right decision. I am very grateful for these opportunities, but I am so happy to have land...

I had the panel interview and was offered a position, but declined it because I was offered my dream job in LDRP at another hospital!! That is such a great offer at UCI! I applied for some positions there, but never heard anything back. I bet you a...
Amanda1985 replied to Faeriewand's topic in California
gettingcloser: I applied for both, but I am no longer interested because I have found a job. If I hear anything on my end I'll post it. I had applied for other positions at UC Davis a couple months ago and never heard anything at all.

nicrn7: That is the same information I was told. I left a message for the nurse recruiter and she never returned my call. The HR employee said they do not give status updates either.
Amanda1985 replied to Faeriewand's topic in California
The status for UC Davis is generic to all applicants. Mines says contacted for interview, but that is not specific to my application. Good luck everyone :)
