I have seen a few job openings in Oregon (in maternity nursing) that require STABLE course work. I have looked this information up online but I can't seem to find any classes actually offered in Oregon (which I thought was strange considering its a r...

Are nurses allowed to choose whether or not they will pass a med that is being used "off label" even if its used in this fashion quite often? I work on a floor that uses a drug off label all the time and there are warnings ALL over the box against us...

Thank you for your input. This meds situation is a little different. I've done a lot a research on it in my own time. Its NOT used or approved in any other country and even the World Health Organization does not approve of it being used for this part...

Hi Bill, I did not get accepted into this cohort but I did just endorse my California license to Oregon. Before I actually lived here I never got called back for interviews, even after I had my Oregon license in hand. But, now that I am here (been he...

Thank you! My fingers are crossed for you as well!

I just wanted to let everyone know that they just tweeted that they are still in the process of selecting people for final interviews.... Maybe there is some hope left for us that have not been called yet! :)

So I guess that means final interviews will be done by then? Has anyone else heard about a second interview? I kind of thinking I'll get a "thanks but no thanks" letter any day now. It seems they would have called by now if I was going to picked for ...

I applied for the Birth Center. I feel you on the rejection letters..... I am having a hard time because I am out of town and trying to move to Oregon (for family reasons) so I can't even network at all... I am currently in San Diego and the market i...

There is another thread going about the summer cohort. Congrats on getting the second interview! I am patiently waiting to hear back myself!

Has anyone else heard anything yet? The anticipation is brutal! For those of you that have heard, which floors are you interviewing with? That is, if you don't mind sharing. I am just curious if each floor is doing their own thing (interview wise) o...

Congrats to you too!

Congrats! Fingers crossed for the rest of us! :)

I am also an out-of-state applicant but have completed my over the phone prescreen interview. It was my first over the phone interview ever and I really feel I would have done better in person.. :-( Anyway, just curious if anyone has heard back yet a...

Hi all! My husband is in the military and we have gotten notice that we are being transferred to Northwest Oregon (Astoria area) and I am wondering if anyone knows what the job market is like up there? I am a new grad with no RN experience (have two ...

Thank you so much!

Thank you for the information. One more question, if I just buy the book, how is that proof to a future employer that I have the knowledge needed? Wouldn't I need to take some sort of test/class and get a certificate of sorts? Perhaps I misunderstood...

They let go of the ASN's awhile ago in most of California. It is actually hard to find an ASN program anymore. I do have my BSN but it seems that doesn't really give you the edge anymore either....

Thank you all for your replies. I just can't believe the craziness we have to go through to get work. I have been applying for jobs since October 2010 from Central California to San Diego California and haven't even had one email, phone call, nothing...

Well, I'm in Southern California now and the market for new grads here is also 100:1 so I don't know how much luck I would have staying here either. Plus, my husband is in a branch that doesn't "deploy" much and I don't think any amount of money is w...
