Thanks for the feedback! LilyRoseCNM, I completely agree with you and that is why I asked this question. I have voiced my concerns at work and found a few articles to present as well. As of right now I think this practice change may get put on hold u...

Hi, Our hospital wants to start using a CHG prep for ALL vaginal deliveries and I would like to find out if anyone else is doing this. The plan is to prep while she is pushing or soon to deliver and allow solution to dry for 2 minutes. In addition to...

RNnicu42, Yes, I was hired in perinatal and so were two other new grads that I know of (see earlier pages of this post). We have orientation on the 12th. I thought they were only hiring 3 so I guess they decided to hire more. Congrats! and I'll see y...

dylansmom7 - I have a BSN. Are you working at UCI or somewhere else? It is really hard to get a job right now so try and get as much related experience (cna is good) and certifications related to your area of interest as possible. Make use of your co...

Congrats nursemurf8! I think they only hired three of us so it looks like you and I and lehcynRN. YAY!!! I'm looking forward to meeting you guys and starting at UCI!

dreyrn, As far as I know UCI has hired everyone that they are going to hire for med/surg and ob at this time. If it doesn't happen this time keep trying and get as many certifications and related experience while you job hunt so you can to keep stren...

lehcynRN, Looking forward to meeting you and working together!

Congrats to everyone ! I just got hired at UCI as a new grad in OB (I believe they hired 3 of us) so I will probably see you guys for orientation. YAY! so excited to start my career at UCI! :w00t:

You can try, but the word I got was if you graduated more than a year ago you are not considered a new grad and will not be considered. I made it past the first interview and was recommended to go on to the final panel interview only to be told that ...

Does anyone know if they hired a new grad in L&D for the Versant program?

I applied to a new grad program near where I live in CA and I was called in for the first round of interviews (screening interview) and it went well and I was expecting to go on to the final panel interview only to get a call from the recruiter sayin...

Congrats guys! So good to hear about people finding jobs out there. Best of luck in your careers :)

So what is a stale grad to do with no experience? I have my own plans, but I know that I am not the only one in this predicament.

Well my morning cup of tea just turned into a morning cup of tears, but thank you for sharing that! I am moved by Grace's dignity, humor and determination and also by your compassion and respect for her. She was lucky that you came into her life and ...

Thanks guys! I guess the moral of this story is don't get knocked up until you are secure in your career I am pursuing becoming a lactation consultant since my grad date is always going to be an issue and I hope to eventually become an L&D nurse...

Just got called. No panel here They said they thought I was great and both recruiters highly recommended me for the panel but the hospital will not consider anyone with a grad date more than a year old. I took time off to start a family and that dec...

Nothing yet and I thought we were supposed to hear by the 6th (yesterday) ?

mission viejo in orange county

Has anyone heard anything from Mission Hospital's new grad program?

I guess we are going to have to wait until Monday to hear if we are moving on to the panel interview or not. Has anyone heard any news either way?

I have an interview coming up and it is just a screening interview but if I make it past the initial interview I have a shot at my dream job. So just a little pressure here It might sound silly but I keep wondering if I should wear my hair up or dow...

No call yet. I assume they are narrowing down the pool from 150 to ? before they start calling people for panel interviews. I guess we are either in the "yes" pile or the "maybe" pile - lol. First I wanted my phone to ring but now I don't :/ let me k...

Sorry to hear that I haven't heard either way yet so I'm still holding out hope for the panel interview. Just call it a learning experience and keep on going. If I don't make it to the panel at least I got to have a "practice" screening interview - ...

I say go for it. Anything that distinguishes you on your resume and shows dedication to a particular field is great. I am a mom too (and still trying to get a job) and I have postpartum doula experience and am also a lactation educator and both of th...

oh, ER oops didn't read back far enough
