Does anyone have any interview tips for an assistant nurse manager at Central Juvenile Hall in Los Angeles? or been through the process?

Anyone been through the interview process for Los Angeles Central Juvenile Hall for an assistant nurse manager or manager? What type of questions did they ask?

Thank you all for responding. ED it is :)

I'm stuck, first a little background. I was of LVN who has worked in Juvenile probation group home for the past 5 years. I became an RN 3 months ago. Like all new grads I went on a few job interviews, one for ER observation at L.A. county hospital and one for L.A. county Juvenile Hall nurse. Well, this past Friday I got a call back from both and they would like to hire me. I don't know what to do. Juvenile hall would be the same flow and job as I've been doing for 5 years,(teenagers, psych meds) so there would be nothing new there. The ER would be a whole new environment. I'm a little afraid of failing in the ER. I can't seem to decide, any help would be appreciated.

anyone know when the next cohort starts? or where and when you can submit an application. Info on the Kaiser website is very generic.

Chamberlain is one of my choices for BSN just wanted to know if its Hard? Easy? Teachers helpful? Work load light/heavy? lot of papers to write? (I'm a horrible at essays) I would love some feedback. Thanks in advance

Anyone go through this program ? Hard? Easy? Teachers helpful? Work load? lot of papers to write? (I'm a horrible at essays) I would love some feedback. it would cost me 16000 which is comparable to other school i was looking at. I wasn't able to find much info on here for this specific program. Thanks in advance

Also if you can get the Mark K audio lectures, they are gold....

Ok heres my experience on passing NCLEX Kaplan sucks. I hated Kaplan, you need a semester just to remember all there tips and tricks, which i thought did not really help. The rationals and videos are horrible. I did about 50 question and decided that it wasen't for me. Hurst is good if you need content refresher. The fill in book was a lot to memorize for me so after doing the in class portion i didn't look at it again. In my opinion, if you wanna pass then UWORLD UWORLD UWORLD!!!! I could have sworn i had 4 question on NCLEX that were in the UWORLD test bank. The question are almost similar to NCLEX, the rationals are wonderful they tell you why its right and why the others are wrong. Best part of all Uworld is the cheapest..

@deadpool619 your app will show back up in 1-3 days then 2-3 days after you will get an email with your ATT.

So much great info. I am trying to decide between WGU and Chamberlian. My ultimate goal is FNP, would one school have an advantage over the other ?

ok I'm freaking out a bit. I just logged onto breeze where my initial-RN application was pending/open now its gone. The application isn't there?? is this normal or should i contact the BRN on Monday?

Thank you both for responding. I have registered with Pearsonvue and it says registration acknowledged. I check both sites in the morning and evening and nothing so far. Tsquared11, it sounds like it takes the BRN 3 months after cashing payment to get to processing application.....

How long does the CA BRN take to send ATT? My check was cashed by the BRN on 7.5.16, I'm going to assume that's when my application was processed. When i log into the Breeze system it says RN-application pending/open. I know they have process dates on the BRN website but multiple people have said that is is not accurate, that they are further along than those dates.

How were you able to get your ATT so quickly? BRN website says there still processing applications from end of February..

I would also like if you send me your notes. I'm nervous about the NCLEX and your notes will help me tremendously. [email protected]

Anyone familiar with below mentioned NCLEX prep courses, or any that would be recommended? Would prefer in class than online.

I am on the last semester of my community college ADN program and really wanted a BSN. Anyone know if WCU would transfer the classes from my ADN program and I would just continue ?

Need some advice…I'll try and keep this short. My school requires 100% of dosage test to enter 4th semester, you get 2 chances. The first test was given three weeks prior to 3rd semester ended. I did not pass the first attempt by 3. For the second attempt I became sick and had a fever, but still went to take the test. I missed one question; my mind was in such a fog that I misread a roman numeral. I met with the chair and she explained that it is policy that after the second attempt you have to sit out the semester. I did not fight and accepted the fact that this is policy and producer and I screwed up. Later on in the week I took the student handbook out and decided to look up the policy. The policy states Students entering 4th semester will take the first dosage calculation test at the end of the previous semester. There will be an exam for med/surg and one for pediatrics. The passing scores are 100%. In the case of failure(less than 100%) the student will be given an opportunity to review the exam, remediate and take exam #2 no later than the first week of the new semester. Ok my argument is that they did not follow their own procedure of giving us the exam at the end of the semester, which would have given us time to study. Our student rep asked for us to take it after the semester had ended per policy and they said no. (all the other semesters got to take the 1st test after the semester was over) Also policy states that Students in the RN program must pass a dosage calculation medication administration test every semester. (see course syllabus for date ). We were never given the syllabus for 4th semester, the instructor just emailed us and told us the day of the test. The final reason I believe I should be fighting to take the test over again is that about 3 semester's ago a student was allowed to take the test for a 3rd time. This student was a favorite of theirs. I spoke with this student who told me how they worked with him to work around the policy and have him take it again. This to me was and is not fair. Today I met with the department chair again and brought up above mentioned points. She still did not budge so I asked to escalate to the Dean. Should I keep going or just give up?

10.3 ml ....

Thanks for the response. It was a test question that I was clarifying with a classmate and they were unsure as well. :)

you have an order for Adderall 275mg, on had you have Adderall 100mg capsules, how many capsules would you give? If you do the math it comes out to 3 capsules. Wouldn't the extra amount of medication be consider a med error ? are you essentially prescribing by giving 3 capsules with the extra amount ? also wouldn't you call the provider to clarify ? Thanks

They have had 2 info sessions for students that i know of, this coming semester is going to be the first class. I spoke with a counselor and i got that it is a new program and she didn't have all the details. Most likely it is going to be very expensive...prob around 70,000 for a ASN.

You should have no problem working 12-15 hours. I work close to 30 hours and i am in 3rd semester now. The program is not easy, but if you are organized, responsible and study you should have no problem.

I disagree with you 200%. I am an LVN who is going into 3rd semester and the teachers have been nothing but helpful. I told them I was an LVN 1st semester and the director at that time said LVNs do poorly when they bridge in. LVNs have to start thinking like RNs and some have trouble with that. As for them just reading at students, some teachers will do this when they see students are coming to class not prepared for lecture, you are suppose to read ahead of time. Some of the teachers have taken away the PowerPoint because students where just using that instead of supplementing with txt. Ms ** 1ST semester teacher is very helpful she trys very had to have everyone pass, out of 40 in my class we only had one fail. If you were in this past semester, your class had quite a few issues, such as following directions during tests and not following the correct chain of command. Also going toe to toe with a teacher or the director of the nursing program is never a good thing or smart thing. Yes stick up for yourself but do it in the right manner and also follow protocol and listen to what is expected and said.
