  1. CA Board requires a Sociology course? HUH?!

    NorthBay posted a topic in California Nursing

    I just received a call from the CA Licensing Office stating that my application with the CA Board is complete, except they are missing my transcript that has my sociology course. I replied with, "What...

  2. Failed the CEN by one question. Literally.

    NorthBay posted a topic in Emergency

    Hey all! Long time no talk! Well, I went into the CEN today with zero preparation. I signed up for the exam back in December, completely forgot about it, then got a reminder e-mail yesterday while...

  3. Any applicants for UCLA's FNP program for fall 2011?

    NorthBay replied to NB-rn's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Accepted! *phew* That's a relief :) My online status has not been updated, yet - I found out via e-mail. Acceptance letters (at least mine) were sent out

  4. Fibromyalgia

    NorthBay replied to veetach's topic in Emergency

    ^ Exactly. The "fibromyalgia" patients that I see in my ER tend to be our completely drug-addicted, often homeless, frequent fliers who happen to show up when it rains outside and claim they "lost"...

  5. Any applicants for UCLA's FNP program for fall 2011?

    NorthBay replied to NB-rn's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Nothing on my end, either. *sigh* I'm not a fan of the waiting

  6. Any applicants for UCLA's FNP program for fall 2011?

    NorthBay replied to NB-rn's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I applied to one of the MSN programs at UCLA and have not heard back yet. When I emailed regarding the time line back in January, I was told decisions would be made in late March, even for those who...

    NorthBay replied to MVJ0221's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My department (ER) did end up hiring two new grads - they start on the next schedule, which begins February 19th

  8. UCLA New Grad Program 2010

    NorthBay replied to MVJ0221's topic in First Year After Licensure

    They do not reimburse for interviews or physicals, nothing except the DAY that you move. I had come down to look at apartments and to get my TB test/physical/urine test (this was obviously after I...

  9. UCLA new RN residency program 2010

    NorthBay replied to newRNAllie's topic in California Nursing

    Regarding ER and ICU... Both hired a large handful of both new grads and experienced nurses last time around. As far as I know, ICU kept all but one new grad and ER kept all of theirs through...

  10. "Work History" - include clinical rotations or not?

    NorthBay posted a topic in California Nursing

    I've recently started applying for new graduate positions in CA and am stumped on what to put in the "Work History" section. I have all of my clinical rotations AND previous work experience on my...

    NorthBay replied to newRNAllie's topic in California Nursing

    UCLA is hiring over 90 new grads this time around. Got the info today from the primary nurse educator herself. Best of luck to all you guys who are waiting!

  12. UCLA new RN residency program 2010

    NorthBay replied to newRNAllie's topic in California Nursing

    There were 71 hired last round, but there were way more than 800 applicants :/ It's not impossible, though—A bunch of people on allnurses were hired! I'd say definitely DON'T send a hard copy....

  13. UCLA New Grad Program 2010

    NorthBay replied to MVJ0221's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yep, navy blue with "UCLA Medical Center (Health Services?) Registered Nurse" in white embroidered printing on the left chest. I'm going to start a campaign to make the "UCLA" in gold script-so much...

  14. UCLA New Grad Program 2010

    NorthBay replied to MVJ0221's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The paperwork and physical at HR is easy and can be done in a couple hours-the problem lies in the TB testing. UCLA does two TB tests: you get a TB test, it's read 7 days later, then you get another...

  18. California's 2010 New Grad RN Program

    NorthBay replied to gwafuh_rn's topic in California Nursing

    ^ I think the job you're referring to may be the job that my roommate is leaving. If you PM me with the name of the surgery center, and it's the same one, I'd be happy to put you in contact with her...

  19. UCLA New Grad Program 2010

    NorthBay replied to MVJ0221's topic in First Year After Licensure

    ^ I don't think NICU has made their decisions yet, and they're not starting the 2nd so still have time. Neither of my friends who interviewed have been notified, either. I'd wait a bit since it's your...

  20. UCLA New Graduate RN Program 2010-Summer

    NorthBay posted a topic in California Nursing

    Now that the applications are in and phone interviews are done (or almost done, at least), I figured we needed a place to keep each other updated on our progress! :) What departments/locations did...

  21. UCLA New Grad Program 2010

    NorthBay replied to MVJ0221's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I found out yesterday that ALL Santa Monica-UCLA new graduates except ICU/CCU are starting on August 2nd. That's twelve days from now! AH. I was anticipating August 16th or August 23rd (which is...

  22. 2010 - UCSF / Stanford RN Residency Interview?

    NorthBay replied to westmidwest's topic in California Nursing

  24. Anyone know how HOAG Newport makes you pay $4000 if you quit??

    NorthBay replied to confusedRN2010's topic in California Nursing

    It's probably a clause in their contract — similar to trying to get out of a year long apartment lease or three-year car lease. I was offered a position at one of the major hospitals in LA and the...

  25. UCLA New Grad Program 2010

    NorthBay replied to MVJ0221's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Take a deep breath and just be yourself! :) I didn't interview in the PICU so I don't know what to tell you about the unit manager interview. My final interview was more of a conversation than a...
