I recently applied to a couple positions posted by Kaiser in the Bay Area. Within a week or two, I received a call and email from recruiter stating they wanted to set up an interview. In the email, there was link to another generic Kaiser job postin...

I graduated as a part of the first class at the Concord campus in 2008. People were able to work during the program, but full-time would probably not be possible nor would it be advisable. I worked one 8-hour shift a week after Level I when I was el...

To answer your question UC Davis does not have an actual inpatient Psych unit. Most Psych cases are sent to Med-Surg floors until placement can be found like across the street at the county psych facility.

Does anyone have the names/emails of recruiters or managers?? It seems like I apply to positions and then its says my application to manager, but nothing. Then a few days later they say they filled the position. If I meet the requirements then can ...

Good for these nurses. It's about time that SoCal RN wages catch up with that of Northern California. It has always amazed me that although the cost of living seems much higher in SoCal that the wages have never caught up. Good Luck to these nurse...

I would set up a job agent on the HR website so that you can see when jobs that match your qualifications open up. You could also contact the nurse recruiter or find out who the critical care manager is and contact them. I understand why you fell i...

Its possible that this person is or was an LVN which is overseen by a different agency in california the BVNPT so this may explain why you could not verify their license or your grandmmother's (plus it would have to be an active license) if you were ...

I think it might be facility specific. At my facility, the RNs do most lab draws especially on admission as we only have lab techs in the morning. I know there are probably more stringent protocols regarding everything related to administering bloo...

I work in the UC System and have only worked within this system since becoming an RN. The benefits are by far the best that I have seen. I do know that Kaiser talks up their benefits from friends that recently attended a job fair, but they still do...

I agree with your statement, I heard it compared to herding cattle just like you said buffalo stampede. My 2 cents- If they treat you like that as a prospective employee then how will they treat you as an actual employee if/when you are hired. Howeve...

Sorry it has already passed. It was was this past Wednesday. It was not very fruitful from what I heard. Some peopl wait 3 hours just to get a rushed one-on-one with a nurse manager for only a handful of positions at each facility.

If you go to their HR website, its under events in the career section under the Experience RN and Nurse Management fair for Antich/Walnut Creek. You have to enter your information and upload your resume and then they email you with the event details...

Its SB 1111 if you want to research it more.

I work in the Sacramento area as a new grad (Graduated in Dec 2008, NCLEX in Feb 2009, Working in Sept 2009) and make a hourly of mid-forties. My classmates that were lucky enough to land a job in the Bay Area make around $50+ an hour. Just out of ...

The first interview should with the recruiter and its mainly generic personality questions. You will get like 1 out 3 possible clinical questions, I think there is one on hyperglycemia and the one I got was increasin HR and decreasing BP-- say what'...

I think whomever was giving you advice grossly misrepresented California. This maybe the case at some hospitals, but definitely not at all of them and probably not at larger, more urban facilities. I work in the Bay Area on an oncology/pulmonary un...

What part of California is the occurring in???? I know the other thread covering this same topic is in regards to a Northern California Sutter. Do you have to have attended the community college in order to participate???? I would be careful as thi...

You will do fine. You learn to adjust to the rigor of academics. There were a couple people at my campus whose first language was not English and they all graduated. I heard there were more at the Hayward campus. We were the first class at the Co...

LilOnc, I applied to Community after seeing your post, but all of my applications say "application filed. not hired" under the status. I also got an email saying that they are "continuing the recruitment process." Is it possible that they only waive...

Hi, I just graduated from CSU East Bay- Concord in December. Our program was modeled after the Hayward campus with some of the same teachers so I think I could give you some pertinent insight. I actually was 8 months pregnant when I started the progr...

I do not have much insider information, but I can tell you about the past few months. There have been a few postings for PICU and only internal postings for the NICU. There has been talk of them posting a group of NICU positions as they did this pa...

John Muir's August 2009 new grad program is posted now, but it is only available to internal applicants and from what I have heard no one internally may get a position either. This is at the Walnut Creek campus, last I heard of the Concord Campus is ...

First off, thank you to whomever started this thread. Yes, we are in competition as new grads, but ultimately it will be your turn. Plus the most qualified candidate will get it no matter what, so passing info on to the person that might be best fo...
