  1. Nursing Assessment Order

    SailorWifey posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just wanted to clarify this with what others learned because it has come up a few times in practice questions. I always thought the nursing assessment order was standard and easy to remember. I even...

  2. Best hospitals in SoCal?

    SailorWifey replied to QuickSilver26's topic in California Nursing

    I suggest you contact a travel nurse company and get in that way, especially with a year of experience. I came here with 2 years of experience and couldn't find any full time jobs. I had offers for...

  9. Does leaving CA for a BSN make it harder to get a job?

    SailorWifey replied to KNHendry's topic in California Nursing

  13. any hospitals easiest to get jobs for a new nurse?

    SailorWifey replied to amzyRN's topic in California Nursing

  17. Moving to Northern CA, Job prospects?

    SailorWifey replied to YvonneABSN11's topic in California Nursing

    Since you're asking a question about if you should stay to make a full two years or not, I think that justifies a new thread. That specific question is one I haven't seen asked (and I've browsed!)...

    SailorWifey replied to DanaCheryseRN's topic in California Nursing

    Yes the hard part is getting fingerprints done in a timely fashion for those out of state. I sent in the hard copy cards which takes much longer. Unfortunately I don't think there's a "fast" way to...

  22. license by endorsement

    SailorWifey replied to DanaCheryseRN's topic in California Nursing

    I didn't apply for a temporary license. In order to get one (I learned this from the BON) your fingerprints need to be cleared. That's what took my license so long. It seems like a temp works more if...
