    VanessaRN replied to RN28MD's topic in MICU, SICU

    Exactly the kind of thing I'm eager to learn; that can only be learned by experience and great mentors. Thanks for sharing

    I love

  3. Job Fairs?

    VanessaRN replied to theresern's topic in Florida Nursing

    Two job fairs that I've attended have been offered by Nurse.com (Nurse.com Events ) and ADVANCE for Nurses (ADVANCE for Nurses ), though I believe Advance may be limited to California and parts of...

  4. batch '09 foreign grad nurse/new RN

    VanessaRN replied to mel_anne88's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Congrats on passing the NCLEX! The "requires at least 1 year recent experience as a registered nurse" is a nightmare that is haunting foreign and local new graduate RNs alike. I highly suggest...

  5. USC New Grad Program 2011

    VanessaRN replied to SLM3's topic in California Nursing

    You probably already know by now, but I hope no one requested ER as your unit of choice! USC does NOT have an Emergency department, Pediatrics, nor OB/GYN departments. They are a specialty hospital...

  6. New Grad in ICU struggling

    VanessaRN replied to MarcM86's topic in Critical Care

    It sounds to me like you're doing a terrific job given the allotted time on the unit. 8 shifts for a new grad on a new unit sure doesn't sound like enough to me, and you seem to be doing great in the...

  7. New Grad RN-->No Jobs, Then what?

    VanessaRN replied to lperkrn's topic in Nursing Career

  9. White Memorial New Grad 2011

    VanessaRN replied to namiani's topic in California Nursing

    Congratulations on getting an interview with White! I received a call from UCLA but not from White =\. I think we really need all the options we can get! I also think a timeline from White would have...

  10. UCLA new RN residency program 2010

    VanessaRN replied to newRNAllie's topic in California Nursing

    Thanks for sharing this information. The anticipation is killing me too! But knowing this will at least keep me sane for a couple weeks...since subsequent calls won't be expected til the end of...

  11. UCLA new RN residency program 2010

    VanessaRN replied to newRNAllie's topic in California Nursing

    I agree, currently UCLA is one of my top choices, and I honestly don't know what I would do if I got a job offer from a facility not so high on my preference list. It's like a gamble: Should I (A) go...

  12. new grad starting in SICU, how to prepare

    VanessaRN replied to hltau's topic in MICU, SICU

    I agree with meandragonbrett (above). The icufaqs.org site is a great resource for new ICU nurses. You should consider buying the book version of the website info if you are able; it contains a wealth...
