  1. Cali new grad RN

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to UltraT's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I agree with Run its insanity here. My jobs new grad RN program takes 20 and they get 600-800 applicants. I put out, no joke over 200 applications before getting a job and I was an lvn for 12 years....

  2. California board of nursing

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to suprmedic's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yup our board is a joke. They wanted to combine it with with the bvnpt but they fought it claiming they were so needed. All i can say is i never had issues with the bvnpt when I was an

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to FroggieNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Nienna Celebrindal posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  7. I'm falling through the cracks...

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to aus1599's topic in First Year After Licensure

    See if they will hire you as a student nurse. It means you do CNA work, but its work and its a foot in the door. An opportunity for managers to get to know you, and if anything they also advertise new...

  8. LPN-RN transition

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to rm89's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Exactly that. I do think in some job markets it can help but I have never heard of it being a hinder. A lot of times it doesn't really matter. However if its you vs another new grad then it might...

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to Nienna Celebrindal's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Nienna Celebrindal posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  16. What to wear???

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to Graduatenurse14's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  17. New Nurse - No Job!

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to MissRN_Dior's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to LizzieB_RN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  19. Help! Should I take a SNF job as a New grad?

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to shiiivers's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Absolutely! In this state that's the only way a lot of people can even land a first job! And yes it is brutal. I thought having 12 years experience as an LVN would help me but I don't really know that...

    Nienna Celebrindal replied to nicoleticzon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hate to be a downer, but if you don't have an EXCELLENT GPA CSUs are very likely out for you. In the cohort that just started at school the lowest starting GPA was a 3.89. And they recently told all...
