I still haven't heard anything back from SMB L&D and was told they would let us know by Friday. I'm assuming this is a bad sign for me. :/ anyone else hear anything either way?!?

I actually had an interview this past week at Sharp Mary Birch for Labor and Delivery!!! I'm dying waiting to find out if I got the position or not. It is similar to Grossmont NICU where they have a panel of 6 (or 5 in my interview) and they will a...

I applied too on July 1st and got an email with the supplemental screening form the very next day. Once I emailed it back though I got an automated response from the recruiter's email saying that the office was closed July 4-7th and will re-open on ...

I was wondering if anyone who interviewed for Labor and Delivery was asked any clinical questions? I'm definitely preparing for the behavioral and typical interview questions, but wasn't sure I needed to prep for clinical questions too. TIA!

Yes, they are calling!! So exciting!

I totally agree! The wait is killing me! I know the recruiter on the phone said to be patient, but.....She said to me that we would know either way in 2-3 weeks. I'm still holding out hope though! :)

Yeah, I thought it was a requirement too. I asked the recruiter specifically about it and she said that it is recommended but not a requirement at this time (at least for Grossmont). I hope she is right! And thanks for the info on the class. Hop...

No, I haven't taken it yet. I just got my BSN in July and this is the first New Grad program I've applied to. I had no idea about that class until I applied. I contacted RPS and am hoping to hear from them soon and take the class ASAP! I'm just ...

L&D at Grossmont was my first pick too! Did you take the Maternal Newborn Nursing Care class they recommended? I'm assuming too that they are starting with L&D units first since the program is supposed to start in November! :)

No, they aren't setting up interviews yet. It's just a screening interview over the phone. The recruiter said they will then forward my information to the hiring manager and they will be letting people know if they will be moving on to the next step ...

Thank you! I specifically applied for Grossmont Hospital. However, the recruiter asked me where I preferred to work (not sure if she was just verifying my info or not). So they might be calling for all the L&D units. Hopefully they start call...

They have already started calling for the Labor and Delivery unit! Got a call this afternoon! Should know in about 2-3 weeks if I'm moving on in the hiring process the recruiter says. EEEkkkk. Good luck to all who applied.

I'd love to know too if anyone has heard if Kaiser is doing any more new grad programs? TIA!

Wow, going through this program with a 5 month old will be really tough. I hope she's a good sleeper and you've got lots of support at home! It's definitely do-able but it won't be easy. For your first class it's not that bad and there isn't too m...

The last book is the APA format book which you will use when writing all of your papers for the program. I'm currentlly in my second month (Cohort 23) and if anyone is looking to buy the Nursing Theory and Transcultural Nursing books, I'm definitely...

Just wrote out a long response and accidentally erased it. Must be time to stop studying for tonight. Anyway, I'm in Cohort 23 and in Theory right now. We go on Wednesdays from 9am-2pm. The rest of the work is done online and you will have to do 2...

WOO HOO! I got my acceptance letter in the mail today too!! :D I'm so incredibly excited. I cannot wait to become an RN! :redbeathe So glad we'll be in the same cohort ExPharmaGirl!!

I'm going to sign up for the SOC 500 online class that starts in April (my last of the 3 required classes) Does anyone know which of the 2 teachers is better/easier? From other posts, I see that I can't put names, but just wondering if someone coul...

Hey there, I don't mind sharing my stats. I scored a 86.5 on the TEAS and I really haven't calculated my GPA. In the pre-recs I got an A in Biomedical Stats, A's in A&P 1 and 2 with labs, and a B- in micro lecture, and an A- in micro lab. I h...

I agree with Twilight on this one. Take that test as SOON as you possibly can. I was trying to take it for the November 2009 Application deadline and they told me that they would not even look at my application if my ILR test was being graded still...

Harparia, I can only imagine how irritating this is! I have asked both my advisor and even the people at the nursing forum to nail down some times or give me ideas of clinicals and they all say that it varies and you have to be flexible. They said ...

I agree...SPN 340A was very easy and I got an A with minimal effort as well. It does help if you have had other spanish classes before. I took 4 years of high school Spanish, so this just seemed more like a review for me with a few new vocabulary w...

Hey 9fingers, I JUST heard back from the admissions lady today! I e-mailed her last week b/c a few of my friends took the TEAS last week and were wondering why I wasn't there.....So, I was worried and it had been over 6 weeks since she said she rece...

Hey Twilight...sorry i didn't get back to you sooner. I was super busy w/ class and the Holidays. Yes, I was taking that class! Sorry I missed you. I'm currently in Crosscultural Communications (SPN 341) How did you do in Spanish in the workplac...
