  1. UCSF RN Residency 2011

    NeverTooLate8 replied to passionlove's topic in California Nursing

    I TRULY hope that the new grad situation gets better. My heart aches for new grads right now. It took me 2 YEARS to get into acute care, but it finally happened for me. I always hated the "Don't...

  8. California's 2010 New Grad RN Program

    NeverTooLate8 replied to gwafuh_rn's topic in California Nursing

    I think I know what hospital you are talking about..wish I could get a job there. I think it's RIDICULOUS that they won't hire you!! So sorry! I assume you know about the Samuel Merritt...

  9. Do you recommend becoming a nurse?

    In this "we-don't-hire-new-grads", hiring freezes abound economy - NO WAY. Right now, I would NOT recommend anyone go into nursing. I thinks it's a great career, but now is not a good itme to start,...

  12. Do you regret going into nursing?

    NeverTooLate8 replied to Crystal112's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting question! I wouldn’t say I regret it exactly now, but when I first graduated and had the incredible struggle to find a job, I did regret it. I have wanted to be a nurse since I was very...

  13. Do you identify yourself as a nurse when you or your family are a patient?

    NeverTooLate8 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    i said "sometimes" because, as others have posted, it does cut out some "dumbing-down" that i don't need and cuts to the chase. however, i don't typical broadcast it, because i am somewhat insecure...

  14. Excuse me! Yoohoo! Hey you! Doctor Person!

    NeverTooLate8 replied to PostOpPrincess's topic in General Nursing

    True story? Ugh....The thought of someone doing that seriously makes me cringe.

  15. Experienced RN moving to the Bay Area

    NeverTooLate8 replied to butterfly7's topic in California Nursing

    I echo Nicki’s advice. The Bay Area is DISGUSTINGLY oversaturated with nurses. Even though I was a new grad (May 09), it took me 7 months to find a job. I do see quite a few postings that have...

    NeverTooLate8 replied to Molly_RN's topic in General Nursing

  20. worried about future job prospects - any advice?

    NeverTooLate8 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I graduated with my BSN on May 09. After almost 200 job applications, 7 months, and numerous crying sessions, I finally found a job at an outpatient clinic. I am SO terribly grateful for having a job...

  21. worried about future job prospects - any advice?

    NeverTooLate8 replied to NeverTooLate8's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, Dogstar. It is reassuring that the worst that can happen is "No" (which I have become immune to). And....you're right...I HAVE a job in the meantime. And I thank my lucky stars every day!!!...

  22. worried about future job prospects - any advice?

    NeverTooLate8 replied to NeverTooLate8's topic in General Nursing
