    CDCR Rankings

    apoppyfield posted a topic in Correctional

    I just borrowed today's eligibility list off the Ca.gov website. It lists one's ranking based on their score on the self-assessment. Apparently the list and rankings could change daily depending on...

    CDCR Rankings

    apoppyfield replied to apoppyfield's topic in Correctional

    So here's today's list -- there are 18 less total applicants on the list. In addition, there are fewer applicants in Rank 4, which tells me they are pulling from that rank. Total Number on List: 3317...

    Applying to 'no experience necessary' jobs and being rejected for lack of experience?

    apoppyfield replied to moodyred01's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I agree that I don't think it is realistic for new grads to limit their job search to acute care employment. Although I would prefer to work in a hospital, I find myself in the same boat as moodyred....

    Corrections and background checks

    apoppyfield replied to Nursespace's topic in Correctional

    I would imagine their hiring thinking would be more "who's the best candidate" rather than "who's the worst candidate." On that note, you are competing against many people with varying personal...

    Anyone going to Modesto Junior College?

    apoppyfield replied to dvas00's topic in California Nursing

    3rd semester is hard. I guess all the semesters are hard, but 3rd is especially so. I don't think most of the students "dropped out" per se, as in just quit. They "dropped out" when they didn't...

    Anyone going to Modesto Junior College?

    apoppyfield replied to dvas00's topic in California Nursing

    So you are wondering how many LVN to RN students are selected? MJC does not have a specific LVN to RN program so there is not a set number. Sometimes LVNs are accepted into the regular RN program if...

    apoppyfield replied to mzzz's topic in California Nursing

    It's way to early to make specific decisions about your degree. In my opinion, you need to keep all your options open, and see if you even like the science classes. So once you finish your pre-reqs...

    RN New Graduate Challenges - 2011

    apoppyfield replied to RNMEDIC34's topic in California Nursing

    BTW there is a nursing shortage, but when there is a huge amount of workforce laid off, they don't have insurance to take care of their health needs. Census's are way down. Sadly, most people can't...

    Anyone going to Modesto Junior College?

    apoppyfield replied to dvas00's topic in California Nursing

    It's the way the community college is geared. The staff doesn't want to deal with it over the summer and they just gear up the week before school starts. When I realized that was the culture, I...
