I'm trying to remember exactly what I wrote. I know I sent my resume and a cover letter stating why I wanted to work at that particular hospital...did some research on the hospital beforehand.. did not say how I got the email. Just stated that i was ...

So I'm a new grad RN at a hospital in the Los Angeles metro area. Our facility uses the "WOW" e-carts for electronic charting. Which we have to push into the patients' rooms EVERY time we have to give a med or hang a piggyback. I am literally pushing...

I just accepted a position as a new grad RN on a med-surg/ortho floor. I thought I would be receiving 8 weeks of orientation. They asked me in the interview what I thought I would need as far as that goes and I said 6-8 weeks and I thought I was low ...

I applied, but have accepted another offer...so I'm out of the running for Hemet. Good luck to you all!

Ok I want to say THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! for the person who wrote this article. I am a new grad ADN with so-so grades in the Los Angeles area and I did this trick. I looked up the DON on linked in and then went to their hospital websites an...

I applied as well. I spoke to the person in HR in charge of the new grad program back in early July and told her that I wouldn't have my license # until mid July and she said they were accepting applications up until July 26th, however, you had to ha...

I'm going to be an ADN too...come May when I graduate.

I applied for Telemetry, ER and L&D. I don't care which unit I get. I just want to get into a good program. Mine says completed as well....

So I know I'm not the only one who is scared to graduate this May because the prospects for ADN new grads in Southern California (LA and OC areas) is so dismal. Every new grad program I see it says BSN preferred or BSN required and with so many new g...

950 applicants and 20-30 spots....talk about tough competition!

Oh congrats MSmith and San!! I'm still waiting to hear something...my app still says manager review in progress....the anticipation is killing me!

Yeah, I'm willing to make sacrifices and move as long as it's not the middle of nowhere. haha. Connections, I actually know a lot of nurses in hospitals. Maybe I should have them try and put in a word for me somewhere...

Anyone know how many applicants they got? Has anyone been called for an interview yet?

Hey Charis what paperwork would we need to attach for the interview? I feel like I've already given them everything I have to give. Signed my life away practically. Haha

Charis, yeah their system is really wonky. I've had the same trouble with it.

YES! I was having the same problem! I just ended up combining a lot of my attachments via PDF merge since we are only allowed 5 attachments. This system is a bit frustrating. Not sure if the hiring managers are getting the correct items.

I noticed on the job posting page that it is 80 hours per pay period with 8 hour shifts? Anyone know anything about this? Is the 8 hours permenant can we switch to 12's after we finish our preceptorship.

I applied in the beginning of March, my application is being reviewed by the manager too! I'm in Los Angeles! So excited! Where is everyone's first choice unit? I think I want the Med-Surg/Tele floor since that's where I've been precepting.

OMG this is tooooo funny! I have actually contemplated this exact scenario! I've even looked into "remodeled" vans and whatnot. And I totally planned on showering at the gym! Hmmmm now what to do about cable 3 nights a week? Satellite dish mounted to...

Squishy, yeah I know it's so scary that a new grad nurse is only getting 3 days orientation and being thrown on the floor when these new grad residency programs are 18-22 weeks in length. I would kill for a spot in an RN Residency program regardless ...

Hey Buytheshoes11, can I ask are you in Southern California? I was hoping you could PM me and tell me more about your LTC experience as a new grad. I will be graduating this May 2013 with my ADN and I've pretty much come to terms with the fact that I...

Hey SparkleRN I know this post is old as it is now Jan 2013 but I was wondering how you managed to land that job at the plastic surgeons office? That is the field I am seeking. It is why I wanted to become a nurse in the first place. How are you stil...

I applied. I am doing my clinical rotations for Glendale Adventist right now. One of the directors came and talked with our class 2 days ago and said they are starting to contact the applicants! Fingers crossed.

yeah I'm so excited to start in the fall. Is it just me or is the schedule all over the place? School 5 days a week until October? Yikes. Thank goodness my employer is being so flexible with me! Does anyone know where we go at Holy Cross for clinical...

Wooohoo! Got my schedule and clinical site! Wow....1st semester is going to be a lot of work for sure! I'm gonna be at Holy Cross, anyone else going to be at Holy Cross? So excited.
