    They still haven't confirmed that. Neither have they confirmed the dress code. The "Talent Acquisition" told me that the manager will let us know all that

    I imagine from what I talked about with the nurse recruiter, that's what's the deal. We will be working full-time, nurses' shifts. She broke down the schedule to me. Johnny, did you get that from her...

    db2xs replied to CaliRN13's topic in California Nursing

    I know it is such a tough decision, I can just imagine how you feel about it. 2.5 hours one way is a lot! And if you're working 12-hour shifts, that will be from hell. Do you have any friends in the...

    db2xs replied to CaliRN13's topic in California Nursing

    Will do! :-) And I don't think you sound "entitled." Common courtesy should be shown all around--not just from our side. I get it that there can be issues in the administration, but I'm getting sick...

    db2xs replied to CaliRN13's topic in California Nursing

    db2xs replied to CaliRN13's topic in California Nursing

    Actually, I know a couple of new grad programs where you don't get paid or you pay to be a part of the program. If you acknowledge that this is going to happen, I don't think it's illegal. Anyhow, I...
