San Joaquin County - STAFF NURSE I - HI GUYS!! i received an email today regarding an ORAL EXAM in two weeks!!! Any advice??? I'm so nervous....I wish it was a written exam! The email stated: The next phase of the selection process is the oral exam - a structured interview process that will assess your education, training, and experience and may include a practical exercise. DID ANYONE ELSE HAD AN ORAL EXAM FOR THIS FACILITY? If so, any tips??? thanks so much!

how did your interview go??? are they still hiring? :\

aww it will be ok :))) you'll do great! good luck!!

aww congrats joe! you can always move to CALI once you have experience and i'm sure you won't have a problem getting a job here :)))) good luck!!!

wow...OR interviews are not until dec 5th? and congrats!!

which unit are u interviewing for? GOOD LUCK!!

it's ok. perhaps you did it at the right time. maybe they don't do it anymore because they are probably getting 3753895738957 phone calls asking. anyways, good luck on your interview!

Ugh I just called too. She said the same thing. I asked if I can specifically asked if I got an interview or status, she said no. She didn't even ask for my name or anything. Whatever.

Applied for OR, step down/med surge and psych.

hi thanks for the information. i haven't called them asking specifically about my application, but tomorrow I will! i didn't think they would give information on the phone at all. thankssssssss! and congratssssssss!

so when you actually called..you specifically asked what's the status of your application??? what did they say? did they give you an interview right on that spot when you called? i don't understand what you mean by "if they tell you they are still making calls you probably aren't being considered."

wow they called u at 650pm?? ok thanks! i was just wondering bc they called pretty late! CONGRATS and goodluck!!!!!!

Hey jeny Which state r u from??

The agency only provided me with a 3mL syringe :/

Of course it was covered during nursing school and I've given shots during clinicals. This is a forum and I think it's ok to ask for suggestions. I'm a new grad and I have never been left alone while giving someone a shot. An instructor or nurse will always be on my side. So for this first assignment, I'm all alone. So yeh I wrote here for suggestions and this forum makes me feel less nervous from others past experiences.

Hi I applied through a temp agency

Yeh I was just curious what u guys do for flu shots. At school, for IM injections to aspirate. But when I get flu shots, I noticed the nurse doesn't aspirate. But I think I'll aspirate because one of my friends gave a flu shot during clinicals...she aspirated and there was blood..... Just curious about really skinny people bc the needle is long...

Yeh they gave me 3mL...and 0.5mL for each dose. I asked about aspirating because my friend did a flu shot during clinicals and when she aspirated, there was blood. She said the pt was really skinny.

The agency I'm working for only gave me 3mL syringes....so don't put the whole needle in right? I wish Im not by myself tomorrow. Thanks for the advice!

hi guys! HELP! im so nervous. im a new grad, and for some reason, my first flu shot clinic assignment, I WILL BE MYSELF!! i'm sooooooooooooo nervous!! FLU SHOTS are administered IM, i know this....I definitely need to aspirate right? i am asking because sometimes when I GET THE FLU SHOT, the nurse doesn't aspirate! but i have to right???? and the clinic is giving me 3mL syringe, i know i have to inject the whole needle in there, but what if the patient is really skinny? what then??? ahhh im freaking myself out!!!
