HI new acute dialysis nurse still in training and hope to be independent by next week. I got my "wands," hose to install on the sink, & wrench and place them in a plastic bag. Is there another way to carry these supplies then using a plastic bag? It is already getting dirty and having holes that my stuff will fall out.

Hey I'm glad you got an offer and a start date on July 1st (that's when I start my new job hehe not for county though) I still get calls from the nursing recruiters about interviews and I keep rejected them but at the same time I want to keep my name on the list just for future references. Idk if I should still be doing that or just let it go and apply AGAIN when my one year is done?

I got an offer from College Hospital in Cerritos and going to start in July so I think Im going to forget about county if they do decided to call me

Have you heard anything from them yet?

did you apply for that position in Olive View as well?

Just finished interviews for psych and m/s hopefully i get a call from either one. Still wasn't confident with my answers but the questions were not really that hard to begin with. I'm just hoping one will call i really need a job

Good luck!!!! hope you get the job please update here if you have received an offer or not. Was the interview hard? What kind of questions did they ask you?

Just got a call from a nurse recuriter from LAC+USC for a pysch & m/s positions on May 10th. A little bit nervous cause the recuriter is asking for performance evaluations with evidence of attendance written on for ALL my school clinicals. There were some clinicals that i did show up late and one clinical that i had a family emergency and did not show up that day but when it was time to go back to clinicals, i forgot to call my instructor early that i would be late and i got yelled and written up for that particular incident. Does the performance evaluations with my history of attendance going to hurt me in any way doing my interview process and what kind of questions would they mostly ask in a psych & m/s interview so i can kinda prepare for?

yeah thats what one of the people who i called said but i never received information on that i had to look online

one more question to call all the county hospitals do i contact the office of nursing affairs?

Oct 19 2012 - applied to the RN I Position Mar 17 2013 - got my civil exam letter Apr 10 2013 - had my interview (interview went terribly awful thought i failed it) Apr 22 2013- Got the letter that i PASSED the civil exam (totally shocked ) Now I need to start calling all the county hospitals to see if they is open positions (hopefully med surg or ER) Has anyone tried to get into a telemetry floor? Ive been reading all the threads and it seems it just been med surg, ER, PEDS, NICU, & ICU. Oh well will be posting updates about this LONG JOURNEY ahead of me hehe

Even if you make the alternate position chances are big in getting in that session. I was number 8 in the alternate position and my rep said "anyone on the alternate position always gets in" So I waited until orientation for my rep to say, "ok you're in" so don't worry if you're an alternate CONGRATS haha

Man its been a while since ive wrote on this site. Aww im sorry i never came back to this site to check if you replied or not and i know its WAY late but im hoping that you're in Kaplan right now and are about to finish the program. If you are, let me know I just graduated from Kaplan in May Nolan A

hi Jime86 since you are finish with pre-reqs, i think your 1st semester you'll be in fundamentals of nursing or for short "fundes" and also a clinical which probably will take 8-10 hr 1 day a wk plus you have lab which is probably right after your fundes theory class. So i think you should be ok working until your 2nd semester (that semester is one of the toughest before the last one) but dont worry about it till it gets there. On your post it didnt mention you finished math (college algebra) so if you havent done that, then they will add that class too. If you have any questions please let me know Fliptobenurse RN Kaplan grad May 2012

yes it did its now longer and painful haha
