Oh interesting! I didn’t know that it was extra help. For the first few weeks is it didactic and some scheduled precepted time on the floors? Then they set you free as extra help?
I applied to a bunch, the neonatal ICU one (#68), progressive care (#140), med/surg and their specialty training programs (#280). I never got a response back for the med surg one, so not sure if I made the list or not. I haven’t heard back from anyon...

Yes-agree with everything you said! At this point I’m not as willing to move locations as much as I’m willing to bite the bullet and give bedside a try. I may have an opportunity in the fall to do NICU as an RN, so will see how that goes. If it all f...

Hi, thanks for sharing this! I know who she is and also follow her content. I’ve done the workshop/course she has to offer and been a part of her subscription/group before but I feel like I just haven’t had much luck in the “real world”. I spoke with...
Did anyone else apply to the upcoming cohort for the StaRN NICU Program at Good Sam in San Jose? I applied and did an interview with the nurse manager, and was told I'd later do panel interviews next week. Technically the program starts in a couple w...
Hi! Thank you so much! At the moment I’m going to try applying broadly where I am and see if that takes me anywhere. I think if push comes to shove, I wouldn’t be opposed to relocating for a short period. I just want to know, are there EVER Californi...

Hi, original poster here! Thank you Nurse Beth for answering this one so quickly. I've changed jobs about 3 times in the 7 years I've worked - done FQHC/community health care, school-based health center, and now work for a larger organization (ala Di...
Thank you for your advice! I did work as an RN while in school- outpatient settings only though. I knew someone that worked as an RN in a long term care facility for years but was still accepted into a new grad program because it wasn’t in the hospit...
I've been an NP for the past 7 years but I've been thinking about doing bedside nursing for the past 4 years. I keep trying and trying to change my NP jobs to see if I'll find better satisfaction, but I've come to realize that I'm just not happy with...
I actually do work for a large chain company (a la Dignity, Sutter, Kaiser although I don't want to specifically say which!), and ALL of their NPs and PAs are 50% admin and 50% clinic within my region.
