My advice to everyone taking the NCLEX and using Kaplan.. Make sure you complete EVERYTHING before you take the test (Question trainer, Qbank, etc.) and know the rationale of the questions you got wrong and you'll do great! I averaged a 57% when I co...

Does anyone know how many nurses they interviewed for the position? Thanks everyone!

Hi Miss_TT, How long did it take you exactly? I had a phone interview with them and I wanted to know how long I should wait because I really want to work at CHOA but another hospital is interested in me. Thanks!

BbaileyRN, are there any details on the person from Facebook that got called back? Like if she had experience, preceptorship there, etc. (I don't have a Facebook) thanks!

Thanks Joanna73! I sent her an email today(I didn't want to last week since I had already left her two voice mails) and within a minute,(I kid you not!) she emailed me back stating: "I have received your voicemails and was going to call this afternoo...

I finally got my big break as a new grad and got my first wonderful call from a recruiter. I was volunteering at the time that she called so I could not pick up the phone. I called her back 2 hours later and I got her message system so I left a mes...

Thanks Citynights89! Me too.. I called again today but didn't leave a message. It's only been ringing twice when I've been calling. Maybe she's on vacay?? Hope so! Well the weekend is coming up so gotta wait till Monday! Thanks again for all the supp...

Yes!!! Such good points!! Thanks RNRAC and Meriwhen! :)

Thank you for all the responses!!! and to tnbutterfly for moving it to the correct area haha woops! I feel so much better and optimistic! Thank you allnurses family for all the support you've given me!! I will definitely take your advice! I've been ...

Sorry.. I definitely posted this in the wrong area . I'm so anxious I can't even focus!

Hi everyone, So its the usual story on here.. I can't find a job. Only about a handful of my graduating class have a job. I'm in Northern California where jobs are so scarce. My dream is to get a Peds position on any unit at all, (I have a minor in C...

Not-done-yet, thank you so much for telling me about Medical City! I applied! Hopefully they will like me:) Meriwhen, yes, I wish I didn't spend the last couple of month ONLY looking for jobs because it ended up just wasting my time! I'm fixing th...

I'll definitely look into those hospitals. Thank you so much for all your help!! :)

Thank you guys for your advice! Cowgirl2nurse, I've been applying to practically every hospital I can find in CA. I've been using Indeed, SimplyHired, and the actual websites of the hospitals. That's so great that you've been making great connectio...

For me, I would choose emergency services since pretty much all ages are seen there , including peds. If you are in the Concord/Walnut Creek area, then I would suggest volunteering for Bay Area Crisis Nursery in Concord, but only if you have the spa...

I believe we applied to the same hospital :). In the packet on the FAQ page #3 it states that the $10,000 is just a portion of what it costs for a new grad and it is significantly more. Hope that helps!

A friend of mine graduated in May 2011 and is now in the March 2012 cohort. December 2011? I don't think you should consider yourself an "old" new grad at all! :)

Hi all! I found the new grad position of my dreams! I applied and the status of my application is "Application forwarded to Manager". What should be the next step on my part? Should I call? If so, what should I say exactly? I'm sort of lost when it ...

*UPDATE* I got the dreaded email that the position was filled.. .. Perhaps I waited too long to follow up but I am going to keep trying! Thank you guys for all your help!

Yay!!!! Happy for you!

Yeah the remediation is confusing but make sure you know each of those subjects even though it just says something general. HESI tests on the same subjects each time because they believe certain subjects are important. Obviously, the questions aren't...

*UPDATE* I called HR this morning and got an automated message stating that I must check online to follow up on my application which takes me back to square one. However, I managed to find the nursing recruiter's email and I plan to email her expr...

Just thought I should try asking, but does anyone know if we can edit/update our application? I tried to see if we could and it doesn't seem so but I just thought I should ask in case any of you all knew. I officially have my license now and few cer...

I LOVE THIS! Feel better and think positively!
