I'm in a similar situation... I have 5 months experience in Oncology, and now almost 4 months experience in Psych. I just applied to an OB job and then walked into the Human Resources department. I know for sure I would not have been called back abou...

I feel the most satisfied with a day's work when I was able to take the time to sit down with a patient (10-15 min usually) and really listen to them, especially with children and adolescents. So often the kids will ask "Can I talk to you?" and I'll ...

Hi there! I'm a pediatric psych RN and absolutely love it, although most of the cases are terribly sad. I find that most of the children don't actually have a mental disorder, but rather have been abused/traumatized and now have severe behavioral iss...

Cool! Are you planning on working with adults or children? If you're interested in children, I'm reading a really fascinating (but sad) book called "The boy who was raised as a dog" and it's written by a child psychiatrist who talks about severely tr...

Congrats! Have you decided which of the two you're going to accept?

Hi Erika! Nice to meet you today :) I didn't get a ton of info on orientation, but I was told that the first two weeks would be classroom learning for us, from 8-4 or 5 Monday-Fri. The first day september 9 is hospital orientation in the morning and ...

Thanks so much! So looking forward to it! :)

Hi there! I'll be starting at MD Anderson also! Couldn't be more excited! I should receive my unit/shift this week, and I'm going to request to start September 7. Just moved out here a month ago and loving it so far!

I'm going to request september 9 also :) And thanks I'm loving Houston so far! It'll be great to start a big new grad program where we can all meet each other and have all that support!

hi mayo! i requested melanoma and breast/ovarian cancer, since they're both prevalent in my family. and i said day or night shift was fine! what did you request? so exciting we were accepted! are you from houston? i just moved out here for my hubby'...

Just heard back from the recruiter, she said they're receiving a few approvals each day for positions and they haven't finalized mine yet. Theyre extending official offers as soon as the positions are approved and they're trying to match us all with ...

I was notified on Friday I'd be receiving an offer, and then told I would hear back today with an update on unit/shift. It's almost 3pm and haven't heard anything yet, hopefully I'll know soon!

For our first semester, we've all been at Kaiser Fontana. It's about 20 minutes from our campus. They don't base it on where you live, unfortunately. They have connections with hospitals all around the Inland Empire, and then they decide where each c...

Hi Ktbbugg! I just started this past January at IE campus. I absolutely love it so far. Look forward to meeting you! Let me know if you have any questions :)

Hey I'm definitely interested in this topic! I'm currently a first semester nursing student in an accelerated BSN program, and so far I feel like it's not as hard and stressful as I expected, or as everyone makes it out to be. But next week I'm switc...

Hi Michelle! I'm currently in a BSN program at Azusa Pacific, and I'm very interested in going into Oncology. I live fairly close to Palm Springs and so I was wondering what hospital you work at. Thanks so much! -Hannah

Hey guys! I'm just about to start nursing school for my BSN at Azusa Pacific, but I tend to be very proactive and I'm already thinking about possible job opportunities after graduation. I know that there are several New Grad programs, for example Sta...

thanks so much! i don't mind posting my stats. i had a 3.6 gpa in my undergrad and somewhere around a 3.85 for my prereqs.. all A's except one B, and 2 of the prereqs are still in progress. best of luck with your application!!

Mine was actually over the phone, but mostly they are going to ask you why you want to be a nurse and then you'll discuss your prerequisites and any classes you may have in progress. Don't stress out, you'll be fine! Good luck!

The school is WASC accredited, which is the main accreditation that schools look for, so you shouldn't run into problems. However, I did a lot of research and discovered that there are two schools in So Cal that don't accept these classes (some have ...

I completely understand how you feel. I also live in Southern California and I think I applied to every possible community college in hopes of getting a registration date that would allow me to take A&P and Micro. Ultimately I found a school call...

I submitted my application a little over a month ago. Typically it takes much longer to get an interview and/or be accepted, but because they have 3 locations, sometimes spots open up late in the game and people get lucky. You can put a preference fo...
