  1. Overtime pay over 8 hrs?

    They randomly call you anytime of the day Mon-Fri. No, they don't set up a date and time to talk to you, but they will leave a voicemail if you don't answer your phone, so you better call back right away. KP Roseville is a safe neighborhood. Ar...
  2. Overtime pay over 8 hrs?

    TBH with you, IDK about the video interview because I didn't have that during my pre-hire assessments. I only had 1 test assessment like 20 or 25 questions, I can't remember. I have another friend who asked me too about the video interview, and IDK a...
  3. Overtime pay over 8 hrs?

    Yes. Applying to UC Davis, Sutter and other hospitals like Dignity Health can be an option to get hired even with 1 year RN experience. And you can work as Per Diem for us, while he works at a non-Kaiser hospital. Ahahaha. I can't say for other...
  4. Overtime pay over 8 hrs?

    So there's no problem with your experience because you have so much. You'll prolly be hired right away as an external applicant. Hahaha. Tell your husband to start applying when he reaches 1 year of RN experience while building more experience. Get a...
  5. Overtime pay over 8 hrs?

    Hello there. Kaiser hires RNs with BSN degrees. That is their priority. It is only when you internally work at Kaiser as Medical Assistant, Patient Care Technician (similar to CNA) or whatever non-nursing positions, then you have your ADN degree, tha...
  6. Renewing PH RN license from ABROAD

    Hello guys. I heard about CPD units. I've been renewing my RN license twice already with my batchmate as an authorized representative. During those renewals, I was not required to submit proof for fulfilling CPD units because I live here in the U.S. ...
  7. Australian RN equivalent to USA LPN?

    Try contacting Dominican University of California at [email protected] Good luck.
  8. LVN vs. ADN

    The disease process in ADN is more intense or comprehensive than the LVN program. LVN program can be finished in about 9-10 months. ADN program can be finished in a proper 2-year program with 4 semesters.
  9. LVN vs. ADN

    You already mentioned that you have an offer for the ADN program. That means that you worked hard in fulfilling those pre-reqs. Imagine how many students want to get your spot just to be in the ADN program! It isn't easy. It's hecka competitive nowad...
  10. LVN vs. ADN

    LVN is under the supervision of an RN. An RN can be a graduate from the ADN program (Associate's) or BSN program (Bachelor's). If your goal is to become an RN, then grab that opportunity to be in the ADN program. So many students want to get in....
  11. Stay where you are for now. Ask questions from nurses who work at a SNF, or hospital before deciding to work in another environment. Ask them in person. I know someone who used to be LPN/LVN here in California at a home health agency. Once she ...
  12. Hard Decision

    Gain more experience in your hospital like 2-3 years more and then decide.
  13. Patient Abandonment

    I am horrified by this nurse. How could you? The Board of Nursing needs to revoke his license. Good luck with that Mr. LPN.
  14. Kaiser Application Status

    Not this time yet. Your time will come. Just keep applying.
  15. Kaiser Application Status

    I'm sorry to know that you failed the 2nd part. I can't remember those tests anymore. I hope you can apply next time and be considered.
  16. Kaiser Application Status

    I don't think that you have been demoted. You don't know that. It literally means that your job submission is complete and ready to be reviewed by the Talent Acquisition Agent or Recruiter. They will probably hire someone else if they don't cal...
  17. (Canadian) US RN License Endorsement to California

    Good luck.

  19. New Grad RN Programs Northern CA Help

    Around March or April, Doctors Medical Center in Modesto will start opening job positions for the RN New Grad program. They do this twice a year: March-April application for July cohort, and October-November application for February cohort. They're a...
  20. Hello guys. I'm starting this thread just to see how many of you have received eligibility letters as an IEN applicant here in California, without being required to retake a course or courses. I know a few friends who applied this year, and even a fe...
  21. Some IENs received eligibility from California BRN

    I graduated in 2011. Some of my friends graduated between 2007-2013.
  22. BON not answering

    Do not lose hope. Do not give up. You are not the only one who experiences this. Your reaction is as normal as we have experienced here in California, and some are still experiencing. It makes you so disheartened, sad and frustrated. We felt the...
  23. BON not answering

    This is the first time that I hear someone is required 2 courses from Georgia. Now you feel the frustration that we have here in California as IENs, even more to those IENs who already have their Master's degree. All we did was to fulfill those requi...
  24. BON not answering

    Every Board of Nursing in every State/Territory has different ways to apply as an IEN. Each board has the authority to temporarily deny you for eligibility if they think you lack their requirement. It's up to the board now. You have to fight for it i...
  25. Some IENs received eligibility from California BRN

    Let me remind you that California is the strictest state to apply as an IEN regardless of whatever country you come from. You may need to read MORE threads here about California BRN. The BRN has been requiring IENs to retake 1 course, 2 courses, 3 co...
