Northern CA- $47/HR starting for day shift. Cost of living is reasonable if u do your research.

I structured my resume: personal info, objective (specified to what you are applying to), education )starting with most current), clinical history in nursing school, work experience, then volunteer experience. Make sure everything is in chronological...

Thanks makes me feel more optimistic.

Last year this same program had a 1 year contract. The economy had gotten worse since then so I accredited the longer contract to ensuring less turn over and higher retention. Other employees say the unit is challenging with the higher accuity level ...

i agree and know that 9 months of being a nursing student was something to help me as a new grad but will be slim to nothing in two years. funny you picked up on the characteristic of my classmate. i just entertained the idea since he was a ed tech f...

I definitely am concerned about the 2 year contract but I love the hospital and the people but my first love is ED. I had another offer in LA for 2.5 years same dept. but I want to stay in bay area. I will see in a few weeks in the contract what the ...

I would love to hear about your experience once you begin. I am starting on a stepdown unit but the stroke speciality might be an area that I would love to explore down the road.

Awesome what department?

Anyone receive any more good7 news from UCSF?

This left me with my mouth wide open. She literally noticed a patient had expired (im assuming a change from previous shift) and didnt notify anyone. I am a new grad myself and I hope that nurse isn't stll around. Unbelievable.

I have a BSN. Nursing was my first and only major in college. In a couple of years I think its safe to say that we will be seeing an upward trend with nursing jobs. I feel we hit the bottom of the curve the past 2-3 years.

No CNA background but I have a few years as an oral surgeon assistant and a lot of volunteer work in hospitals and in the community.

Try not to get too discouraged just use it as another thing to make you try even harder to prove everyone wrong. I graduated in march and I made it a point that my old preceptors from my senior practicum clinical knew I wanted to work at that hospita...

Don't give up. It was one of the managers.

Hello New grads. I just wanted to spread some good thoughts and testimony your way from a recent new grad (March 2010). I know we hear everywhere that jobs are few and far between in the bay area but I found that there is still hope out there. I ha...

I agree, perserverance is key and dont be afraid to use your old networking and connections from preceptorship. Thats how I got my three job offers after graduation in May in the Bay area and LA. Stay strong Graduates, its possible.

No problem Sim007. Its hard to keep up with these things. I surprisingly interviewed on 14 Moffitt too. Let me know if you get the job too!

The training program begins August 9th.

Thanks, adult tcu.

Just got the good news call! :-) Just got hired at UCSF.

Got hired! God is good.

My interview with ucsf was last Tuesday. The wait is killing me. Has anyone received an acceptance or denial yet?
