  1. Palliative care

    werkinit replied to smurfynursey's topic in Pediatric

    Hi again! Thanks for the ELNEC recommendation, smurfynursey, I am hoping I can get some ceu units & possibly have it covered by my work...we'll see! I am still a very new "baby nurse" but my...

  2. Pearson view trick doesnt work

    werkinit replied to annamee's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    There is nothing to indicate that you failed, just be patient. Sometimes it takes longer for random reasons. I waited 8 weeks for the CA BON to post my name...had to re-send my transcripts to them....

    werkinit replied to smurfynursey's topic in Pediatric

    Hi there! I wanted to follow up and see what you decided about this certification. I am a new grad pediatric oncology RN with an interest in palliative care. This certification sounds right up my...

  4. New Graduate.....take a year off before I start???

    werkinit replied to kthomps's topic in First Year After Licensure

    From graduation (end of August) to start date for my new job (March) was 7 months for me...You might actually get time off before starting anyways. ...and my job offer was relatively quick compared to...

  5. Considering CNA while in RN school...

    werkinit replied to aachavez's topic in General Students

    It's a great idea & worth the experience/networking potential. All the students in my class who worked as CNAs got jobs first, or had them lined up before we graduated. The rest of us had to...

  6. Transcripts: California BRN

    werkinit replied to sfnursetobe's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You only need to send transcripts from your RN school. I did not end up sending from my other schools and got my RN license last October. You send in a piece of paperwork with your application that...

  8. Interview questions for peds oncology position?

    werkinit replied to Lub-Dub's topic in Pediatric

    Nope, I just remember she was a professor from her profile and I thought it was reflected in her screen name somehow... Basically everything after December 14th was lost. What a bummer...HOWEVER, I...

  10. "Smart Is The New Rich" Graduate Nurses Cannot Find Work

    werkinit replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    Similar topic, better written in my opinion: "New California nursing graduates find it hard to get hired" http://www.sacbee.com/2011/12/04/4097980/new-california-nursing-graduates.html

  11. March 2012 CHLA RN Residency Program

    werkinit replied to savexpigoo's topic in California Nursing

    A friend of mine who works in health care said it was pretty standard to call in about double the number they were looking to hire -- so interviewing 11 for 6 positions on PICU sounds about right....

  12. March 2012 CHLA RN Residency Program

    werkinit replied to savexpigoo's topic in California Nursing

    Does anyone have a sense of how many folks were invited to the round two interviews? If you got a 2nd interview, what's the probability of actually landing a position at this point? I'm assuming your...

  13. New Grad Job Hunting

    werkinit replied to NewRNin2011's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I don't know where you're located, but in California the job-market is very contracted, over-saturated with new grads, and VERY competitive. We're easily seeing 1200-1500 applications for new grad...

    werkinit replied to savexpigoo's topic in California Nursing

  16. March 2012 CHLA RN Residency Program

    werkinit replied to savexpigoo's topic in California Nursing

    It was a mix. I'd suggest you take a look at the many threads on here w/ nursing interview question advice & prepare accordingly. Competition is fierce, so be ready for everything & anything...

    werkinit replied to savexpigoo's topic in California Nursing

    I'm interviewing on the 21st! Super nervous/excited -- this is my first RN job interview I've been called for. I graduated in August & I already have my license, however I only had my interim...

  18. PVT Trick says that I "previously passed"...is this right?

    werkinit replied to xkrystlex's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Apparently my 1st set of transcripts from my school never showed up...believe me, I called & called & emailed & called. TOTALLY unacceptable. But at least the PVT trick

  19. PVT Trick says that I "previously passed"...is this right?

    werkinit replied to xkrystlex's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi friends! I tested in California and got the PVT good pop-up (actually I go the original good pop-up & then they morphed to the new "candidate has previously passed" verbage)...it took over 7...

    werkinit posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Today marks week 6 since I took NCLEX. Computer turned off at 75 questions, PVT gives me the "candidate has already passed this exam" pop-up...but I STILL don't have a license number posted on the CA...

    werkinit replied to werkinit's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    After almost two months waiting for the CA BRN, I finally found out I passed and got my license!!!! The worst part was feeling fairly certain I passed NCLEX but getting zero response form the BRN...

  22. Should I go for my BSN or ADN?

    werkinit replied to bkingren1031's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Also consider what the hiring market is for your area (or the region you might want to work in) -- I'm in Northern California and it seems the trend for the new grad residency programs, and many of...

  24. PVT Trick says that I "previously passed"...is this right?

    werkinit replied to xkrystlex's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Looks like they've changed the verbage on the good pop-up. I took my exam in early Sept & am having trouble w/ my results due to some transcript issues -- so I've been doing the PVT occasionally...

  25. Waiting for my results!

    werkinit replied to hersheyRNBSN's topic in California Nursing

    Yep, graduated in California. Did the PVT again yesterday & still get the good pop-up :) ....the wait is killing me, but I think I'm fine. Turned off at 75 also. Take
