  1. Torrance Memorial Medical Center RN Residency

    kalami08 replied to nurse_16's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I actually had to turn down the panel interview - already accepted a new grad position elsewhere. But from my previous conversation with them, I remember them saying something about how they would...

    kalami08 replied to lipbalmqueen's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Does anyone know what type of tuition reimbursement they

  3. Torrance Memorial Medical Center RN Residency

    kalami08 replied to nurse_16's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Just got a call this morning about scheduling for the panel interview, so I'm sure they're still calling

  4. Should I quit nursing school...?

    kalami08 replied to jfisher23's topic in General Nursing

    If you're going to UCLA nursing school and doing clinicals at UCLA, I'd say you have a good chance of getting into their new grad program. A few friends from my school got in, and we didn't go to...

  5. Why can't I get a job as a New RN Grad?

    kalami08 replied to butterfly_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I just got a new grad job after several months of searching, and here's my experience. Hope it helps! I applied online to hundreds of new grad programs and jobs and did probably hundreds of hours of...

  6. Junior In High School interested in the field of nursing

    kalami08 replied to hcm1217's topic in Nursing Career

    BTW, volunteering won't actually give you too much exposure to a nurse's daily routine - you'd probably sit at the front desk, or deliver newspapers, or things like that. Shadowing a nurse will help...

  7. Junior In High School interested in the field of nursing

    kalami08 replied to hcm1217's topic in Nursing Career

    Wow, it sounds like you are a very driven person! I'm sure you'll make a great nurse. :) My recommendation would be to see if you can find a program where you can shadow nurses in the hospital. I did...

  8. Need help FAILED Nclex 4 times

    kalami08 replied to twinmom02's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you've done a few courses and feel like you have the strategies down, maybe it's time for a good comprehensive review. Kaplan lets you retake for free if you fail, so maybe try redoing it, and...

  9. Cedar... New Grad Program 2011?

    kalami08 replied to lipbalmqueen's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was hired for the 28th, and I called HR to ask about the extra info Liza was supposed to give us (wasn't sure if I was supposed to come in or not). The lady there said that since they're hiring so...

  10. Cedar... New Grad Program 2011?

    kalami08 replied to lipbalmqueen's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Does anyone know if Cedars has a scrubs uniform, like UCLA does? If not, I'm going to go buy some fun scrubs to celebrate.

  11. Cedar... New Grad Program 2011?

    kalami08 replied to lipbalmqueen's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Woohoo! Rita just called me too, and I'm starting February 28th. I can't believe it finally happened!!! (BTW, I also got the email over the weekend to fill out the form). Good luck

  12. Maternal / Neonatal Clinical

    kalami08 replied to madfowl's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Be ready to do lots of teaching! Whatever they will need to know before they go home with their baby, you'll need to be able to teach them.

  13. Psych Clinical

    kalami08 replied to aismail3's topic in General Students

    One thing to keep in mind--all these patients are VERY used to people spending lots of time just talking to them - it's a big part of their therapy. So don't feel awkward! They're expecting you to ask...

  14. What is the best way to prepare for Nursing School?

    kalami08 replied to laurenv0217's topic in General Students

    I'd do as much shadowing of hospital nurses as you can - the more exposure you have to a hospital environment, the different disciplines and how they interact, the equipment, the procedures - the...

  15. Nervous about my first day of Anatomy & physiology 1

    kalami08 replied to jamaicanwanabenrs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The best thing I can tell you is take lots of notes! Whether or not you have a good memory, there's lots of info in A&P, and if you take tons of notes, you won't "fall off the boat" later on....

  16. Cedar... New Grad Program 2011?

    kalami08 replied to lipbalmqueen's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Woah, but does this mean they're still hiring 30 per cohort? Because if so, that brings the total to 90... :) This wait is killing

  17. Mount St. Mary's College LA - Accelerated BSN 2010

    kalami08 replied to BNice74's topic in California Nursing

    Hey everyone, Just wanted to confirm what Dawn said - I'm currently in the ABSN program, and it's just as hard as she said it is. 76% and above is passing, and if you fail one class, you have to drop...

  18. Mount St. Mary's College LA - Accelerated BSN 2009

    kalami08 replied to touchhealth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    They didn't tell me where I was on the waiting list, even though I'd called to ask! Weird... I'm not sure about financial aid. I was just accepted today over the phone, and my status hasn't even...

  19. Mount St. Mary's College LA - Accelerated BSN 2009

    kalami08 replied to touchhealth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just got a call from admissions too, and they said I'd been taken off the wait list. Yay! So I'll be joining you all in the fall! :) Does anyone know about the special Accelerated Nursing student...

  20. Azusa Pacific Unversity--accelerated program and working?

    kalami08 replied to 2bnurse_it's topic in California Nursing

    Halla, I just got accepted to EENAP last week. They told me I could be accepted to San Bernardino in May 2010, but that Fall 2009 was wait listed. My BA (philosophy) GPA was 3.48, but my science and...
