Sorry I hit the wrong key. Anyway, I told her that it was not appropriate to give her my manager's email without asking, and that I will ask my manager when I have a chance. I wonder if that was the right thing to do. I'm also planning for my futu...

Sorry, just saw that you live El Dorado. I'm live in Southern CA

Duh... You current live in El Dorado. I live in Southern California :-(

OP: where in California are you living? Yes, you can work as a Nurse Assistant in California, and with your RN license, you are not eligible to sit the CNA exam. However, it's hard to find a facility that will hire you to work as a NA. I was gonna w...

Anybody, please? A little bit about myself: I graduated in August and has been looking for a job for over 3 months now. I didn't really look when I first graduated because of family responsibilities. 2/3 of my friends is working as RNs either in town...

I was told today by a nurse recruiter that 85% new grad applicants applies for Labor and Delivery. She said I would have a better chance if I don't pick L & D. I was surprised because I always thought it was Med/Surg. I wonder if this happens onl...

I'm a bilingual new grad fluent in a major Asian language. I wonder whether it would increase my chance of getting hired if I become a CMI. Also, do CMI RN's get pay more? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks
