Our honeymoon is not booked yet & I have already brought it up to my fiance that we may not be going on one.. at least not right away! I feel bad because I know he would be able to easily get the time off but it's just a completely different story on my end. I have been applying to this hospital for well over a year and value this job so much! I have been told that we accumulate 8 hours of PTO per pay period, so I would have enough time saved up. I will just cross my fingers and hope for the best! Thank you for the replies!

I am starting a new job next week. I had one interview and was given the job offer from HR. I am also getting married at the end of June.. This is not a far away destination wedding or anything but it would be nice to get the week off :) I have asked several people when & how I should bring this up to my new employer, and I have gotten mixed answers (anywhere from tell her asap through e-mail, to tell her when you start and see her, to it can wait a couple of months). I am leaning towards the sooner the better... So my question is: is it okay to e-mail my new manager about this now ...or is it overkill to ask 7 months in advance?

Anyone?? Student experiences at this hospital? Or.. has anyone worked with Maxim in the bay area for per diem hospital work?

Anyone have experience working at this hospital? I have the opportunity to work there on a per diem basis through an agency (med/surg units). I am looking for others feedback on experiences with this hospital.. good or bad! Thank you :)

I have said that I wanted to be nurse when I grow up since I was about 5 years old. Here I am after 2 years of acute care experience wishing I went to school for something else! lol ...I hope I grow to love it.. it sure would make like life easier. One thing I do like is that I have other options I just wish it wasn't so hard to break into a new field.

When I know I have to work that night I finding myself dreading it all day and not able to truly enjoy. Plus in order to make through the night without passing out during my shift I have to be home early and take a nap before going into work... but maybe its just me??

I used to work rotating day/night 12 hour shifts in southern California. When I moved back home to northern California working part time (3- 8 hour shifts per week) I thought I would be much happier. Now I find myself scrambling to find a job at a 12 hour shift hospital because I need the extra $$ and the thought of spending 5 days a week at my current job literally makes me sick !!

I have been applying frequently to a very well known teaching hospital in my area. Along with the application, an assessment has to be filled out. I did my assessment over a year ago and it automatically attaches to each job i apply to. Every time I apply to a new position it seems like I get a "sorry not selected" email from them the very next morning. Do these assessments weed people out of the applicant pool automatically? I feel like my resume is not being seen by human eyes! I fit the qualification for these positions well and I am getting discouraged by this! I called HR to see if there was a way to improve my chances or have someone actually review my resume but all i got was a "sorry we get many applications, just keep trying" Just fyi during the assessment I know I answered very honestly as I felt like answering all of the questions as if I am a perfect person was unrealistic. I thought the honest approach was the correct way to go.. but now im thinking i was wrong!

Hi everyone, I am applying to a float position and in the job qualifications section it says: BSN, ACLS, 2years Medsurg, 6 months tele. Does 6 months tele mean working with pts who are on telemetry monitoring, or are they looking for someone with CV floor experience? I have 1 year of medicine step-down experience and 1 year of surgical/ortho/neuro. I do float to CV occasionally but am not allowed to take patients on certain drips or post certain procedures. Thanks in advance for any replies :)

I sent you a message :)

Hi CherryRN22! Yes I was in the May 2011 class :) I know about Good Sam, They called me for an interview but we keep playing phone tag! Hoping I can actually talk to them on Monday though. Good luck to you too!

Hey, its okay. I have a BSN graduated from SJSU in 2011 (got ASN in 2010 at EVC) precepted in peds at scvmc when I was a evergreen and precepted in oncology at kaiser santa clara for SJSU; BLS, ACLS, EKG class no other certs. I moved for new graduate program at UCLA and have been there for about a year now. Trying to get back to the bay area desperately!

thanks guys! I never received a ranking e-mail. They called me to schedule the interview on July 26th. The manager said that she had a lot of applicants for about three positions and she had hoped to make a decision in the next 1-2 weeks. I would say to call HR and see whats up. They said from the beginning that those who were not chosen would get an e-mail saying so..

Had an interview today for this position. Anyone else interviewing?

I have exactly one year experience and have interviewed at 3 different hospitals in the bay area in the past month and got a call today to interview with a fourth!

I didn't get any e-mail =/ waiting continues..

What is a soft offer? Is anything offered over the telephone considered to be a soft offer?

Awesome! that was easy lol :)

I was just thinking about this... hmm could you post your e-mail? or make a new one just to give out on here then we can e-mail you our info so you can add us? OR we could PM you our info if we want to be added.. but the only problem there would be that some people cannot PM yet if their account is new and they have less that 15 posts

Fullofmox!!! I didn't see you got hired until now!!!! OMG I'm So happy!!!!!! We are going to be together after all!! :yeah::yeah::yeah: When did she call you?! I want in on the facebook group also!!

Hello everyone! has anyone who has gotten hired gotten a call from nursing resources yet? Anyone know the next steps in the process.. My UD said they would contact me last week but I did not hear anything yet.. I'm thinking I will call wednesday if I still don't get a call. I'm very antsy about hearing back! :anpom:

Hello Neighbor! I'm going to be on 7 East! Congrats!! :dancgrp:

No problem :) I am going to be on Acute Medical 7 east/ 5 east

For those of you who have waited more than two weeks to hear back, I would really encourage you to either call or e-mail the UD. I don't see it as bugging them. I see it as showing your interest in the position. Just remember to be extra polite and say something like Hello, my name is _____ I interviewed with you on _____ for a new grad position on your unit. i know this is a busy time for you but I wanted to follow up to see about the status of my application, I look forward to hearing from you You can reach me at ______. I called my UD and was offered the position the next week I don't think it would hurt to try at all!! Good Luck!
