  1. Online application status

    Calinurse4 replied to ssgg's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I know one of the places I applied it was yellow when there was a "change" or just a new application. Once it was seen by the applicant, it went away until the next status change. Good

  2. Forwarded to hiring manager...

    Calinurse4 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Last Monday I applied for a position at a local hospital that "preferred" 1 year of experience but since it wasn't a requirement I applied. It is in my dept of choice and thought it was a worth a...

  3. Forwarded to hiring manager...

    Calinurse4 replied to Calinurse4's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks for the responses! I'm definitely still applying; I have so many different applications out. It was just nice to see *some* acknowledgment and not immediately

  4. Forwarded to hiring manager...

    Calinurse4 replied to Calinurse4's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks BotoxBaby! I re-read the email and it was sent from an actual recruiter in HR, it had her name and direct number on the email. So, it's obviously not just a computer generated email picking...

  5. Job NOT via new grad program?

    Calinurse4 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Where I live MOST new grad positions are obtained via new grad programs and those are very hard to get. Are there new grads that just get straight hired into a staff RN position without a specific...

  6. Job NOT via new grad program?

    Calinurse4 replied to Calinurse4's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks for the replies :) All I hear about are new grad programs but it seems like that isn't always the only

  7. Los Medanos for Fall 2011?

    Calinurse4 replied to want2banurse35's topic in California Nursing

    Just wanted to share my experience :) I took the TEAS before I was even accepted into a program, just to get it over with. This was before they made the rule you could only use your first score, so...

  8. What do you listen to while studying

    Calinurse4 replied to That Guy's topic in General Students

    I'm the same way! I can't listen to my "usual" music because it distracts me. I also listen to either light classical or spa/nature on Pandora

  9. ADN students, how much do you study?

    Calinurse4 replied to FLhusker's topic in General Students

    I've always been a "crammer" so I could spend about 6-8 hours the day before a test studying. I also spend about 1-2 hours prepping the night before clinical. Other than that, I don't study on a...

  10. No sick adults please.....can I still be a nurse?

    Calinurse4 replied to FLhusker's topic in General Students

    I'm the same way. I don't want to work with "sick adults", I would also prefer OB or peds. I have finished a year of nursing school and I have survived with all the sick adults I only had 3 weeks...

  11. Questions about nursing school...

    Calinurse4 replied to loveliestangel's topic in General Students

    I started back to school at 28 and with 4 kids. I had never been to college and literally started from scratch. I am now 32 and will (hopefully!) graduate in May 2012 with my ADN. It's been a long...

  12. Adn program cost?

    Calinurse4 replied to mjohns13's topic in General Students

    I live in California and when I started pre-reqs 5 years ago, it was $20 a unit. It is now up to $32 a unit and I think that is so expensive~lol. I borrowed my books and my tuition for my program is...

    Calinurse4 replied to want2banurse35's topic in California Nursing

    Calinurse4 replied to want2banurse35's topic in California Nursing

    Last year they took up to alternate 17, with 44 spots

  15. Does your school require you to do work over the summer?

    Calinurse4 replied to morningdew's topic in General Students

    Nope. We are off until the middle of August and our instructors specifically told us NOT to do anything school related and just to relax and enjoy our

  16. Los Medanos for Fall 2011?

    Calinurse4 replied to want2banurse35's topic in California Nursing

    Due to budget cuts, the new class will only be 30 (that's what I heard but it could be 35), instead of the usual 44. The second year is only 40 instead of 55. Think positive thoughts! I got in my...

  17. Los Medanos for Fall 2011?

    Calinurse4 replied to want2banurse35's topic in California Nursing

    I got in on my first try. I think maybe 1/4 to 1/3 of our class got in their first try! A lot of those names are duplicates, since this is the last year they will put in names up to 4 times. Good...

  18. Doula volunteering worth it?

    Calinurse4 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    On my last day of my maternity rotation at the county hospital, I was told about a volunteer doula program they have. My ultimate goal in nursing is to be an L&D nurse and would like to do...

  19. Doula volunteering worth it?

    Calinurse4 replied to Calinurse4's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks for all the input and info! It's just a one day training and you pre-schedule your availability at the training. They ask for 6 12-hour shifts every 6 months. If there isn't a mom in labor...

    Calinurse4 posted a topic in California Nursing

    I just found out tonight I'm starting this August!! I swear it feels like a dream; I never thought I would get in. There are about 500 names for 44 spots and it's done by lottery. This is my first...

  21. Los Medanos for Fall 2011?

    Calinurse4 replied to want2banurse35's topic in California Nursing

    Good to know! I'll have to tell my friend who is in the lottery. I know for the people waiting, that still seems so far off. The wait just about killed me, I was so nervous the day it was...

  22. Los Medanos for Fall 2011?

    Calinurse4 replied to want2banurse35's topic in California Nursing

    Yes, I did get accepted into Delta, as well. I think that the dates must have been different last year because I found out I got into LMC before I had to pay anything for Delta. I ended up emailing...

  23. Los Medanos for Fall 2011?

    Calinurse4 replied to want2banurse35's topic in California Nursing

    It's usually the Tuesday after finals, which would be May 31st but I'm not positive. That's just how it was the last two years, as far as I know. I love the program; it's incredibly stressful and...

  24. Los Medanos for Fall 2011?

    Calinurse4 replied to want2banurse35's topic in California Nursing

    There is no formal orientation for LMC. If you get in, you will receive a packet with your info about physicals, immunizations, forms, etc. that you need to complete over the summer before school...
