It is a mixture of everything. It's your personality, how you mesh with the team, etc. I actually worked as an RN (not a new grad program) for 5 mo in the NICU and it was not a good fit. I actually then applied and got into Loma Linda as a new grad. ...

My advice to you is apply EVERYWHERE! I was in an EL-MSN program for nursing. I have a prior degree in Biology. I "graduated" in 2014. I took my NCLEX and passed in December. By April, I had my first job. My title was RN II NICU, which obviously that...

Thank you so much!!! So it wasn't like Loma Linda that has a dedicated position. Does it actually say new grad or is it just a clin I position? Thank you! Hope all are loving it!
jsimpsonlee03 replied to newgradjess's topic in California
Do you know when the application opens or do you have a link to the new grad program information? i never found information on this and am interested in this program
jsimpsonlee03 replied to newgradjess's topic in California
Where is the information about the new graduate program...I want to know what dates they have for the program. Is it still open? I know they are already doing interviews

And also, just because you didn't get the tour doesn't mean much. They might not have had time to do the tour if they were interviewing someone right afterwards. I just wish I knew when they would be making a decision. I also have an interview in Jan...

That was one thing they didn't really ask other than how would your former employee say about your attendance I think. I still haven't heard anything back so idk know if I got it either.
jsimpsonlee03 replied to arcelyn0312's topic in Job Hunt
Have you interviewed yet for NICU? Did they give a time of when they would make decisions? I precepted in NICU and worked for 5 mo as an RN but that job didn't work out

Also, I cannot get Kaiser to save my life!!! Kaiser always tells me I don't have enough experience but they require 1 year or an equivalent course...I have the equivalent course and they still won't give me an interview!!!
jsimpsonlee03 replied to arcelyn0312's topic in Job Hunt
Yes, the interview is just with you and then I had like 6 or 7 ppl. The director, the manager for the night shift, a couple of nurses (day and night) and then a couple of educators. The questions were normal interview questions like where do you see ...

Have you checked your application status? Go back to the careers site and then on the right hand side, there should be something that says returning applicants and then you can look at your application status. I interviewed on the 10th for the NICU b...

So, I actually had an interview with UCI in the NICU on the 10th. I am actually still waiting as I have not heard back. I'm sure each unit is a little different but in my interview it was a panel interview. The director, the night shift manager, a co...

I was wondering if anyone had any ways to contact recruiting? I applied for a position and I want to see if a course I took is equivalent to their course in lieu of experience.

How far are you willing to travel? With your experience and GPA, I'm sure you would be able to get into California Baptist University in the EL-MSN program. They don't do waitlisting. They look at your last 60 units as an "indicator" for GPA. They re...

Well it's the holiday so I doubt anyone was in the office. I applied to NICU and got rejected however I learned half of all the applicants were for NICU and they take LLU over other applicants first
jsimpsonlee03 replied to bcandygurl's topic in California
I haven't heard anything from NICU, I don't know if they are still calling, but I don't want to call and bug them but I want to know if they are still making calls or are they doing different rounds.
I took my NCLEX RN in CA on Dec. 4th and got my results today. I am praying for all of you as my good friend took it the same day and did 75Q, lots of priority, pharm and priority and her results are up either
jsimpsonlee03 replied to bcandygurl's topic in California
I agree, I think they just don't want to be bothered because it can cause delays! I know when ----------------- came to speak with my school, she said that they go through the applications and will reject any applications that do not meet the require...

There is no "fastest way". You apply with BRN (easiest way is online), then register for pearson Vue. BRN goes in order of your pay date. For instance, I paid for BRN and Pearson 8/29. It took about 8 weeks for me to get an ATT some of my cohort got ...

It's close to me but it is absolutely my dream ever since I was a kid after learning I was a NICU baby at LLUCH and then when my son was born and he was a premie, I knew this was the right place for me!!! So first step is getting the job, second is g...
