I just found out I'm #17 on the alternate list for CC - last year they went up to #26 so not all hope is lost I guess...

I finally went to campus to see where I am - I'm #17 on the alternate list. The woman there said they are expecting 12 remedial spots. I'll keep my fingers crossed for both of us!

I applied to Contra Costa and Ohlone also. I know letters were sent out for CC and haven't received one so I don't think I got in . You?

Hello! When do you think we'll hear back? Keeping my fingers crossed!

Thanks! I live a distance away in Clayton so maybe I will just hope a letter arrived in the mail....I'm not feeling too hopeful though given the odds.

Thanks for the update. Did they tell you over the phone or did you go in to find out? I just called and they wouldn't tell me anything over the phone

I'm so surprised there are no responses on this thread. ������ I tried to call the CC nursing office today but no one answered every time I called...I hope this just means they haven't done the lottery yet... I wonder if they would tell y...

I am nervous as well - especially since I haven't heard anything yet and prior year students said they found out around the first of April.... Has anyone heard anything from CC?

I think any experience is better than no experience. I worked in a dermatology clinic for two years and was still able to land a job in my preferred unit (OB). You will still gain valuable assessment and time management skills as a school RN-play tho...

You do realize that that would be unethical right?

Hi all! When does the c-s incision dressing typically get removed in your facility, and by who? Just curious :) As a relatively new RN sometimes I find myself hung up on small things like this lol. Thanks!

Rusti1, I think you are illustrating my original point way better than I every could. Out of respect for the OP, I will take my own advice and forgo any further attempt to reeducate you or your fellow anti-vaxxers.

And rusti1, the issue isn't anyone trying to prevent me or others from vaccinating - it's a growing number of people NOT vaccinating and putting others at risk needlessly. The fact that your "idea" of health may differ from mine does not give you the...

I apologize if you see my remarks as "inflammatory" but I do not. I always make it a point to be respectful of the opinions of others, but this particular debate really infuriates me because this is not just a simple matter of opinion. It is a public...

It's clear to me that leftflank pain and rusti1 (who don't seem to even be RNs) are avid anti-Vaxers here just to push their misinformed, conspiracy-driven, fear-mongering message that all vaccines are evil, and anyone in any way associated with them...

The way I see it, making vaccinations mandatory for public school will have an overall beneficial effect for society as a whole. 1.) It will help to maintain the high vaccination rate needed to maintain herd immunity; 2.) it will also protect all ch...

You say you've "studied vaccines" for a long time - what do you mean by studied? Are you an immunologist? Chemist? Any sort of actual medicL research professional?

I am over the moon about this. To me this is a no brainier - vaccines WORK, and they should be required for the good of all. It just boggles my mind how there are so many against vaccines - and they are so vocal and extremely resistant to arguments c...

I think it depends on where you live. For example, here in the CA Bay Area precepting in L&D is vital for landing an L&D job in the area - there are just so many other candidates with not only that experience but externships as well that you ...

Hello, I am excited to report that I will be interviewing for a spot on my dream unit in my dream hospital next week - a hospital that is only 10 minutes away from my home! (I previously worked 3+ hrs away and commuted). This interview was unexpected...

I definitely won't volunteer the information...but what do I say if they specifically ask about my "current" job? I am no longer employed at my first job and I haven't started the other one so I now have a slight gap...

Thanks for the input organizedchaos and Caliotter! My big concern is this: I have already done all the new hire stuff at the first hospital so am just waiting to officially start...so I'm thinking if they offer me a position when they do the backgrou...

Is there any way you could stick it out to the 6 month mark? This is the minimum amount of experience required for a lot of hospitals to even consider you for a non new-grad position.

Hello all, I am feeling devastated and am hoping for some feedback... I recently applied for an RN position at one of my "dream" hospitals, and was thrilled to receive an interview request the day after applying. However, I just realized that I accid...

Thank you all for your feedback and advice. I was able to reach the recruiter and was told that they still want to interview me! I am beyond relieved, and even though I may have weakened my position by bringing attention to my error, I'm glad I let t...
