  5. Does being able to work odd shifts help in the job search?

    B52-H replied to Mefs's topic in California Nursing

    Nah. Whether you're a new grad ADN, BSN or MSN, you still have no experience and are in the same pile with everyone else. "Here, you are all equally worthless." - Gunnery Sergeant Hartman (R. Lee...

    B52-H replied to Mefs's topic in California Nursing

  8. "Superuser"?

    B52-H replied to BellasRNmommy's topic in California Nursing

  11. nurse scholarship in exchange for set employment

    B52-H replied to CNM2B201?'s topic in General Nursing

    The school I went to offered a program just like this; small stipends given out each semester in exchange for an employment contract. The payments were taxed though and counted as income. I didn't...

  12. Not a big fan of phone interviews...

    B52-H replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I am the complete opposite; I love phone interviews. Especially if they call while I am at home where I'm comfortable. I have a online document that I quickly open up when they call that has the...

  13. Are new graduate RN's being hired in Orange County, CA?

    B52-H replied to NewBeee's topic in California Nursing

    South OC and so cal in general is over saturated. The hospitals close by (Saddleback, Hoag, KP, Mission, UCI etc) are either not hiring new grads or have limited slots; maybe fewer than 10. You are...

  15. Does volunteering at a hospital REALLY increase your odds of being hired there later?

    B52-H replied to magichospital's topic in General Nursing

    A quick scan of the forums and internet will show you that the job market is tight for new grads. Chances are that it still will be when you graduate. Volunteering can't hurt but it's difficult to...

  16. How hard is it for a ADN new grad to find a job vs. BSN?

    B52-H replied to CharmantUn's topic in Nursing Career

    BSN or an ADN will not be what prevents you from finding work. There are a few hospitals (usually magnet status) that will only accept BSN nurses but the vast majority really don't care. Usually very...

  17. When hiring, do hospitals look at where you got your BSN?

    B52-H replied to traceydolovesyou's topic in General Nursing

    I am also in the OC area (Irvine) and I would be very hesitant about West Coast Uni. They have a nice little niche here in south OC because they can charge whatever they want for people frustrated by...

    B52-H replied to gs_rn's topic in California Nursing

    B52-H replied to NYU_Grad's topic in Nursing Career

    Finding an employer who will hire a brand new NP with only 1-2 years experience as an RN will be extremely difficult. NPs have a lot of autonomy and trusting one with that much responsibility, when...

    B52-H replied to zippeh's topic in Nursing Career

    This chain of realization made me smile :) Just type in "RN New Grad can't find work/employment" into google and look at the results. Sort the results to the past year and it's pretty horrifying lol....

  21. future E.R. nurse and CRNA

    B52-H replied to zippeh's topic in Nursing Career

    Getting hired directly into the ER is very difficult Scholarships, college clubs, honor society really doesn't help much. Tons of people have it and they are looking for work. Hospitals want prior RN...

    B52-H replied to icedtea's topic in General Nursing

    It's really tough out there. I am coming up on a year out of school and still have not found an RN position. It really sucks but you might need to take an RN refresher course to keep yourself...

    B52-H replied to Amerae's topic in California Nursing
