  1. Unethical hiring practices

    Zippitydoodah posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Has anyone ever heard of anything like this? I am a new grad, and was recently hired in the CVICU, which claims to have a training program for new grads as well as floor nurses making the switch to...

  2. Unethical hiring practices

    Zippitydoodah replied to Zippitydoodah's topic in First Year After Licensure

    They implied that we could work in another unit. However, there are no positions open in the other units and they can't just move us over there. So until something opens up, we're S.O.L. And once...

  3. Unethical hiring practices

    Zippitydoodah replied to Zippitydoodah's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks for the good luck. I'm just wondering why they hire new grads into these positions if they're just going to turn around and dismiss us in high proportions. I know you don't know the answer, I...

  4. Unethical hiring practices

    Zippitydoodah replied to Zippitydoodah's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Unfortunately for me, there are no other positions in other units. And if they'd told me that this was on a trial basis, I wouldn't have moved. When I write "sea legs" I don't mean that I was becoming...

  5. Legacy Versant RN Residency - who's applying for this round?

    Zippitydoodah replied to tejon's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Nothin.

  6. Legacy Versant RN Residency - who's applying for this round?

    Zippitydoodah replied to tejon's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Thanks Av03. I don't expect it to go anywhere. It was a mediocre interview. Good luck to you as well, I know you really want it and went the extra mile (or hundreds of miles) for the

  7. Legacy Versant RN Residency - who's applying for this round?

    Zippitydoodah replied to tejon's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I think it'll probably be at least another week. I just had a phone screening interview yesterday, and it sounded as if they still have a number of phone interviews to

  8. Scripps New Grad Nurse Residency 2013

    Zippitydoodah replied to SDnurse2011's topic in California Nursing

    Thirty more hours, peppered. We'll know for sure by then. I've already decided I did not get it, but that's mostly so I don't make myself crazy in the next day. Nice meeting you, by the way, however...

  9. Scripps New Grad Nurse Residency 2013

    Zippitydoodah replied to SDnurse2011's topic in California Nursing

    Ayayayay, I just realized that both of the thank-you notes I sent the managers (I only interviewed with two) bounced back. I resent them just now, trying to guess what their email addresses are. They...

  10. Scripps New Grad Nurse Residency 2013

    Zippitydoodah replied to SDnurse2011's topic in California Nursing

    I'm guessing there's no real system. They're probably doing it as the unit managers make their decisions and pass the word along. For those who have gotten calls: are the calls coming from the unit...

  11. Scripps New Grad Nurse Residency 2013

    Zippitydoodah replied to SDnurse2011's topic in California Nursing

    I think you went in at 12:30. I was a few minutes after you. I finished at 1:11. Only two people on my panel, which bums me out slightly since I think that may decrease my

  12. Scripps New Grad Nurse Residency 2013

    Zippitydoodah replied to SDnurse2011's topic in California Nursing

    Preparing for the drive to San Diego (Sunday) for Monday interview. Starting to get big zit on forehead = awesome. I'll see all you Monday interviewees scheduled for 12:30. I'll be the old guy in the...

  13. Legacy Versant RN Residency - who's applying for this round?

    Zippitydoodah replied to tejon's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Hey Av03. I got your message but do not yet have privileges on here to respond (until I post 15 quality posting, they tell me.) my direct email is sfjocko at g mail. Can you send me a message there...

  14. Legacy Versant RN Residency - who's applying for this round?

    Zippitydoodah replied to tejon's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Thanks Av03. Are you in process for both Scripps and Versant Legacy as well? I applied for my license in CA about a month ago, and for OR last week (but only just sent in the fingerprint card...

  15. Scripps New Grad Nurse Residency 2013

    Zippitydoodah replied to SDnurse2011's topic in California Nursing

    Actually, if we make it through this, I'm thinking a few shots of good

  16. Scripps New Grad Nurse Residency 2013

    Zippitydoodah replied to SDnurse2011's topic in California Nursing

    So it sounds like the people on the panel will be the ones making the decision. Hmmm.... Good to know, though I don't know quite exactly what to do with that information. Try to make them fall in...

  17. Scripps New Grad Nurse Residency 2013

    Zippitydoodah replied to SDnurse2011's topic in California Nursing

    Thanks again. Did they say anything about the process? What I mean is, do they score your answers then put everything in one big pool, and decide from there? ...OR are the managers at your table...

  18. Scripps New Grad Nurse Residency 2013

    Zippitydoodah replied to SDnurse2011's topic in California Nursing

    Hey Coriander -- Thanks for all the info. I'm interviewing next Monday, and am more than a little stressed about it. Driving in from Tucson. Having some idea of what I'm going to face, so I can at...

  19. Legacy Versant RN Residency - who's applying for this round?

    Zippitydoodah replied to tejon's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Anyone know much about applying for endorsement license in Oregon? Specifically, how long it takes? We have to have our license by Feb 1. Plus, I don't know if we should also apply for Washington...

  20. Legacy Versant RN Residency - who's applying for this round?

    Zippitydoodah replied to tejon's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I got an email informing me I'll be having a pre-screen phone interview at the end of December or beginning of Jan. I can't have been the only one on this site. Anybody

  21. Scripps New Grad Nurse Residency 2013

    Zippitydoodah replied to SDnurse2011's topic in California Nursing

    Hey peppered, I'm interviewing on the same day/time. Do you think this means group interviews? Or simultaneous interviews? Group interviews is kind of a weird idea, but I've been in them before so...

  22. New entry-level Masters program at U of A!!

    Zippitydoodah replied to Cid13's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I really can't speak to that, and don't know much about that program. From what I understand, since it's basically a first-degree bachelor's program you'd have to transfer your undergrad credits, and...

  23. New entry-level Masters program at U of A!!

    Zippitydoodah replied to Cid13's topic in Arizona Nursing

    The second degree BSN program doesn't exist any more. It's been replaced by the MEPN

  24. New entry-level Masters program at U of A!!

    Zippitydoodah replied to Cid13's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Do not go to this program! I am a current student in the program, nearing the end of level 2. It has been an absolutely horrible experience. I am not just speaking for myself, the feeling is almost...
