    maiday replied to toin43's topic in California Nursing

    Hi, I was hired for La Jolla PCU. I think she said send her the background check info and look for an email next week (this week now) about the official offer. And yes Ny917, I think your info is...

  2. New grad, PCU!!

    maiday posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi everybody! I have been on allnurses since I started nursing school 2 years ago and it's been such a great help to me. I always liked reading the success stories posted so I had to post! I graduated...

  3. SCRIPPS New Graduate Nurse Program August 2011

    maiday replied to toin43's topic in California Nursing

    No, the email she sent that said she'd call next week (after the 4th). She sent that email so people wouldn't freak out if they didn't hear from her on Friday. She called me Friday morning around...

    maiday replied to toin43's topic in California Nursing

    Hi everybody... I almost don't want to post this but I know I'd want to know... I got the call this morning for a job offer. She said she sent the email just in case she couldn't get through everybody...

    maiday replied to toin43's topic in California Nursing

    Thank goodness for that email... I've been freaking out. Hopefully they can offer all 62 positions! At least now I know I can stop jumping every time my phone rings until Monday

  6. SCRIPPS New Graduate Nurse Program August 2011

    maiday replied to toin43's topic in California Nursing

    Good luck to everybody interviewing! I interviewed on the 6th but they said they would start making offer calls on the 24th... 3 weeks to find out is torture! Same as everybody else, I heard there...

  7. Good news for CA new grads?

    maiday posted a topic in General Nursing

    http://www.cinhc.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/New-Grad-Hiring-Dilemma_0209.pdf Basically the state of CA is giving hospitals money to run a quasi new grad program for 3 months or so to at...

  8. Good news for CA new grads?

    maiday replied to maiday's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, they basically sort of created a problem and are now trying to fix it. At least it's something though

  9. You Guys Are Making Me Worry.

    maiday replied to bella_autore's topic in General Nursing

    Well, lots of different info here =) My 2 cents is it is good to get your foot in the door. You can challenge the CNA license after usually just the 1st semester of a nursing program (I think just...

  10. National University San Diego

    maiday replied to navyvetRNdreams2b's topic in School, College Programs

    May2, If you already have a bachelors, those classes do not apply to you. Of course, verify with your advisor, but it didn't apply to the people who had degrees in my

  11. National University San Diego

    maiday replied to navyvetRNdreams2b's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi Mike's wife, I'm in cohort 19 and I had no previous medical experience. I don't think you're at too much of a disadvantage. Actually I'd say more than half of my cohort had no medical experience....

  12. National University San Diego

    maiday replied to navyvetRNdreams2b's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi Rishle, I wish I could say different but it's really hard to commit to anything like that during clinicals. It really depends on your teacher, when your clinicals are and when the wedding is....

  13. What are some jobs as a nursing student?

    maiday replied to swtchariot's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's not exactly a program... you just challenge the CNA exam and usually it's after your first semester. I know each state is different, but double check! Or you could look into different hospitals...

  14. ...best jobs while in nursing school.

    maiday replied to brotherbear's topic in General Students

    It depends on what you need to do. Moneywise, serving/waitress is pretty good because it's flexible hours and you can make pretty good money with tips. However if you can afford to do per diem in a...

  15. National University San Diego

    maiday replied to navyvetRNdreams2b's topic in School, College Programs

    Yep, almost done. We are doing our last clinical now (leadership) and then we are mostly online until we graduate in May. They are changing the program now though so I think for future cohorts...

  16. National University San Diego

    maiday replied to navyvetRNdreams2b's topic in School, College Programs

    As long as this is your first degree, you should be able to cover it with loans/grants... barely, but covered. I am in cohort 19 and doing it with loans. I have not yet paid a bill to National. I...

  17. Advice for those new RNs looking for jobs

    maiday replied to himilayaneyes's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I agree with what you're saying, however you'd be surprised by some instructors. The really good instructors will write you a reference letter with no problem, but some are either really busy, really...

  18. Jobs after 1st semester of Nursing schol

    maiday replied to CrazziiRN913's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on the hospital. There are all kinds of different names for positions like this, but they are usually all CNA or nurses aide type jobs. There is student nurse tech, health care tech, NA...

  19. Teching while in Nursing School?

    maiday replied to mandileanne's topic in General Nursing

    I agree! I just recently got hired at the hospital I want to work at as a PCA-Student Nurse. Not many hospitals have that specifically, but CNA, Tech, PCA, anything to get your foot in the door....

  20. My final Practicum is in the ED...suggestions?

    maiday replied to malestudentnurse's topic in General Students

    Awesome! I got to rotate to the ED during my Med Surg 2 rotation about 3 or 4 times and I loved it. My suggestion is to just try to do anything they'll allow you to do. They may ask if you have a...

  21. A Little confused in what path should I take to become a Nurse

    maiday replied to NatQ's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, there are many different schools to get your RN. And in pretty much any of them, those classes will be pre-reqs. Just do your best and apply anyway. The worst they can do is say

  22. PCT resume help?

    maiday replied to ErinRN2B's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I am also a nursing student and just got hired as a PCA-Student nurse. I would definitely put your jobs on your resume, just like the above poster said, they are customer service and communication...

  23. What I have learned during bedbaths

    maiday replied to mamamerlee's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for this post. I am a nursing student (graduate May 2011) and I'm about to start my first job as a PCA-Student Nurse (basically CNA). I want to do everything I can to learn while I'm in...

  24. Nursing Students Unite

    maiday replied to Alexis4's topic in General Students

    I agree about the clinicals. You learn a lot in clinicals. Try to take away everything from the nurses, not just skills, but how do they manage their day, how do they talk to doctors, how do they...

  25. National University San Diego

    maiday replied to navyvetRNdreams2b's topic in School, College Programs

    Just to be clear... each person has different situations and it depends on yours which is a good fit for you. NU is NOT San Diego state or even CSU, it is more comparable to University of Phoenix....
