Currently learning to troubleshoot NG tubes. The procedure document my clinicals instructor gave me says "if the exit mark on the NGT is no longer visible, pull back the NGT and resecure to the patient's face/nose". I'm a bit confused about what this...

Thank you!!

I'm currently planning a relocation to a new city, and am considering trying to get a travel contract to start out with. That way I figure I'll have time to "shop around" and learn about the various hospitals and neighborhoods before making any perm...

Hi everyone, I'm almost one year into my first RN position. While I love my job (most days anyway!), I moved to the other side of the country to work here and I'm honestly not really loving this city. So, I'm looking for a new job closer to friends...

Hi everyone, As you all know, the job market in California is terrible for new grads! After trying unsuccessfully to land a job after graduation, I finally decided to take a position at a hospital here on the East Coast. I absolutely love my job, a...

Hey everyone, just wanted to post this opportunity here in case of you guys missed it! http://www.californiadiversity.com/jobs.asp?pagemode=15&jid=2518103 Good Luck!!!

Okay, thanks for the information! Not gonna hold my breath for them I guess Congrats to everyone hired at UCLA and good luck to those still waiting for calls!

Quick question: does anyone's status say "wait-listed"? Just checked and that's what mine says, but I was never even contacted for an interview so I just wonder what that means...

hey uscdg, just wanted to let you know that if you are still interested, the residency program app is back up on the website!

Just wondering if anyone who applied for the Feb new grad program has received an interview yet? I applied in early Nov and got the email asking for unit choice, etc. but haven't heard anything else from them. Wondering if I'm out of the running. ...

So you guys think its ok to follow up? I have been wondering about this, b/c it seems like most of the hospitals I've applied to specifically ask you NOT to call or follow-up!

Thanks for the information!

Hey, I was just wondering when you guys applied to this? I would like to apply but I'm not sure if the application period is still open. Did you guys just email your documents in or was there a specific posting for it on the website? Thanks so much...

hey patientRN, thanks for sharing your interview experience. i'm sure you did great! was just wondering if you happened to know how many people they interviewed/will be interviewing for psych? did it seem like they were interviewing lots of candidat...

I'm going to be graduating soon, and as we all know this is a tough time for new nurses. Was just wondering if any you happened to work at or otherwise know of any psych hospitals that will consider new nurses? I'm willing to move almost anywhere, b...

Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

Thank you!

Ok you guys, kind of bad news: Just called Mission Hospital in the OC. They were on my list of residency programs that I was really interested in. Unfortunately, the woman I spoke with said that they had so many internal candidates for the program...

Update for any of you guys who applied to psych: I called hr, and the lady I spoke to was super nice. She said that they are still making calls for the psych unit, and that she thinks the psych interviews will be mostly on the 29th (wasn't 100% sure...

Well, best wishes to you! I think its awesome that you chose to follow your passion!

Well, I think that you sound like an awesome candidate! If I was in charge I would definitely give you an interview

Hi PatientRN! I think I saw that you received a call in another post...I guess my thought process was just that since you listed m/s as your first maybe they called you with the m/s group and haven't called the psych first choice group yet. Or mayb...

Okay, thanks. Gonna try to remain optimistic that we will both get calls soon.

Oh seriously? That sucks that they were rude to you! Were they able to tell you anything, like if they started calling for psych yet? If you don't mind sharing I'd love to hear it.

SeptemberRn and WishMeLuck, so you guys applied to psych? I also applied to that unit, but still no phone call. Did anyone else who listed psych as their first choice get a call? It really seems to me like they just haven't actually started callin...
