Hello, I'm currently a dialysis nurse (over 2 years experience) and have for the past year or so been thinking about my niche/calling/dream job. I learned about health coach nurses in my area (Silicon Valley) and was very drawn to the idea of coachin...

I started as a new grad rn in an outpatient chronic dialysis unit 2 years ago. I was also trained as a patient care tech for the first couple months and then became charge nurse after my first year. For me the first 3 months were the most trying as d...

So if a new grad, such as myself, has been applying and searching for a new grad acute care program for the past 17 months with no luck, should I choose another route such as dialysis for the mean time? I've read through the threads that talk about h...

Good luck on your NCLEX! Be sure to relax the night before:)

Thanks for the update mjm24! I was really hopeful and had a great interview experience but as time goes by, I'm starting to face the sad truth.

Congrats on that big accomplishment (2 to be exact!)! You must be pretty marketable Good luck to ya.

Did anyone get anymore offers this week? Just wondering if offers were still on-going. Thanks.

Hey sunshine star, I haven't been accepted or anything, but when I asked the Nurse Educator about the structure of the program, he said that you have a classroom day (about 8 hour day) once a month throughout the 10-week program. Hope that helps :)

Congratulations to you all for your perseverance that has gotten you this far. Big pat on the back :)

I truly congratulate you all on your accomplishments and perseverance that got you this far! Best of luck to you all.

You must have your license by July 5, the program starts on July 12.

I heard having the 2nd interview is a good sign..and that we will hear back in 2-3 weeks! Good luck everyone http://img.an-file.info/smilies/wink.gif

I'm from SF Bay Area, so I had a phone interview and will need to submit one the day of the interview. I'm out of luck for the community service portion because all my signatures have been archived at school and therefore unaccessible, I definitely s...

Haha funny you posted this right when I just completed mine! I doubt they're going to have a measuring ruler out during the interview? At least for me, I plan on doing double-spaced, size-10 font.

med/surg :)

Does anyone know if we're all meeting the nurse managers at the same time or do we each have own individual appointment time slot? On my e-mail the interview is 3:45pm, how about all of yours? Thanks!

Try Southwest, Virgin America, or JetBlue? They usually have the cheapest rates.

Good luck to you linRdsNay! That's great multi-tasking right there for ya :)

Hey an6el177, Congrats on Hoag! I'm curious, when did Hoag post the new grad program? I was checking quite often in May and never came upon it. Best of luck to you!

Same boat as you linRdsNay! Fingers crossed we get our opportunity soon!

I replied back April 6 and as of today have not received an e-mail appointment confirmation for a phone interview. What a bummer, 50 positions? I guess it's better than other hospitals that offer 10 or less.. =)

I'm from the SF Bay Area and got the preliminary e-mail about scheduling a phone interview. Still waiting to hear back about the date for that as well. It looks like this is going to be a long process! Excited, as this is the first time I had ever ha...

If I were thinking about being an infection control nurse, what are the appropriate steps to take? I am a new graduate nurse with a BSN and BS in Microbiology. I love "bugs"! How does one begin the process? Is having staff nurse experience required? ...
