Hey, I applied for RN residencies at both UCSF and Stanford during the week of May 10th, 2010. I wanted to hear from anyone who has applied to either program AND has been contacted by a recruiter. Or from anyone who knows for certain (i.e., you ...

30 is not too old. nursing is fantastically rewarding. i went to a top nursing school and the nursing curriculum is hard, I say this as someone who has several degrees from other top schools and nursing was the very challenging. I would advise yo...

Has anyone hear anything from SHC yet? Interviews, Jobs, etc? icuuci & BayareaRNBSN any final news? Best wishes.

Has anyone who applied to the 2010 UCSF RN residency program heard back from HR? Just curious. Best of luck.

Northbay - I applied to both programs but during my phone interview had to choose only one so I went with adult. Both of my applications are still "in review,"and I have not been contacted. linRdsNay - Whom is your interview with? Also if you happe...

no, but message is too short so no again

had an interview, it went as well as I ever could have hoped for yet I got a phone call two days later saying I was not selected. best of luck

fyi it's "i.e.," not "ie:" those who cast stones...

I concur. Nursing is awesome. Some of my fellow nurses--not so much--but the job is great.

.....

anybody hear from ucsf? my stanford status changed from "application accepted" to "unknown" to "in process" still no phone call;( Anyone in a similar boat?

I am sorry you feel so burnt out. However, if you remain indifferent to your family you might risk your personal life, which of course is your choice. Marriage is ideally predicated on mutual support and love, and hopefully your husband is supporti...

Are you kidding me? you are a well paid professional and are responsible for people's lives. A million new grads would kill for your job. Get. There. On. Time. If this is too much to ask work at the DQ--which of course will fire you for being la...

great point that the majority of people you hear from are those that do not have jobs, and are angry, this I totally believe is true. however, I graduated from a top 20 school, was one of the top students in my class. I am employed. so in one way...

Sorry I was not clear. I have not received a phone message, and was hypothesizing that the reason why was because recruiters don't leave messages (I'm clearly stretching here) so was asking if anyone had received a message. If anyone has it would ne...

re:loma6685 My LPCH status changed to "unknown" but I have not been contacted in any way. also: Did anyone receive a phone message from the Stanford recruiter to return a call. I do not have a cellphone and work at a number I can't take calls so ...

cb_rn wow. I apologize if I offend. Truly. I was simply trying to offer advice from someone who asked for it. I do not think of myself as better than an other RN. You are correct every RN is licensed, all passed the same exam and all can provid...

to me, it means you need more self-confidence. If you are good at what you do, or even are trying to the best of your ability then that is all you can do. Other people are occasionally harsh but if you are okay with yourself then you can forgive the...

if you resent working with families you should get out of health care, you'd fit the mold more for and MD than an RN but its far far less than ideal, cept perhaps surgery which is only like a 10 year road.

I figured, but how do you know this?

I worked as a PCT on a high acuity floor and the workload was absolutely insane. I hated going to work, some/a lot of the staff were mean, it was stressful, never a break, etc. However, I loved taking care of people, I loved the interpersonal conne...

you are employed which is fantastic, so long as you provide safe and competent pt care I would think hard of bailing a job for which innumerable new grads with no prospects would kill each other for. Its a rough economy out there, I might weather th...

what do you not like about nursing?

I of course respect your decision to become a nurse but would suggest you look into a real (ie non-online school). Many real universities offer some on-line classes but I know for a fact that many medical centers specifically do not accept applicant...

it works for me. nursing and medicine are complimentary but different non-competing disciplines. It is nice to be able to speak the same language (medical) and it is great to be able to ask someone in house to explain something, like your own perso...
