I'm an introvert too (being an only child only served to make me even more so because I had fewer interactions with people my own age), and shy to boot. There are desk jobs available - I currently...
I took a triage position in OBGYN about 4 months ago for a change of pace from direct patient care. It's not strictly phone - we also handle the physician's in basket messages, where I'd say 80% of...

I've never done bedside, and I've been a nurse for close to 3 years. Not for lack of trying, but right out of school, I missed all of the new grad programs that my cohort got into because my state...
I've seen a lot of questions regarding negotiating pay within a hospital system, but what about in the ambulatory/outpatient sector? Is this something that is typically done, or do most people just...

Hi, all! After a crushing and humiliating first interview experience for a new grad position a couple months ago, I've finally landed another one. This time, with Adventist Health in Hanford, CA. So...
I'm interviewing for a totally different hospital, but I'll also be doing a Hirevue digital interview. Can you tell me if you did the practice run throughs, and if so, were you forced to do the...
I know I'm resurrecting an oldish thread here, but for anyone who is currently working for Adventist Hanford, or has worked for them in the recent past, do you recall what your video interview was...
It's just under $32/hr during the training period (13-16 weeks), and then you start at the hospital's pay rate of $50.40 afterwards. There is a 2-yr contract that begins after training ends. I just...
Thank you for the clarification. :) I do understand your frustration with freely giving information, and then having people take it for granted - like it was owed to them. I have tried Googling, and I...
Thank you in advance? Lol. Please don't take this the wrong way, but I really don't know why you would reply in the manner that you did. So you have the information, but are unwilling to share it. You...
