1. Can I find a "desk" RN job without experience

   spaghetina replied to SoulSpirit_Rn's topic in Career

   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 work in obgyn clinic doing mostly patient message/pho...

2. Are we doing a 2020 salary survey this year?

   spaghetina posted a topic in Career

   Just curious, since it seems to be an ongoing thing. I never could find the actual salary results from 2019, so maybe the whole project died?

3. Burned out on telephone triage

   spaghetina replied to Mnstn's topic in Ambulatory

   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 questions/problems/complaints come from, and I'm alr...

4. License in jeopardy?

   spaghetina replied to HoosierRN06's topic in Ambulatory

   If they're telling you that in the interview, I would run away. That said, I don't think it's common in the outpatient setting, but it's not uncommon either. Because most outpatient clinics aren't overseen and scrutinized in the same way as inpa...

5. Going from bedside to OP 9-5

   spaghetina replied to AMNurse154's topic in Career

   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 nursing board took their sweet time getting my ATI to...

6. Negotiating Pay in the Outpatient Environment

   spaghetina posted a topic in General Nursing

   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 accept the offer immediately? I must admit that I am...

8. Have you worked in dermatology?

   spaghetina posted a topic in General Nursing

   So, I may have an interview at a private practice dermatology clinic soon. I know there are general behavioral questions that are asked during most interviews, but if you work at a derm clinic, can you tell me what your interview process was like? I'...

9. Im socially awkward. Cant interview well.

   spaghetina replied to lpatt9981's topic in Career

   Let me share my first (and basically last) interview story with you, in the hopes that my sorrow makes you feel better about how you did. Some background on me. I'm a new grad. I've never worked as a nurse, and the last time I interviewed for a job,...

10. Adventist Health Question + Hirevue Software Question

    spaghetina posted a topic in General Nursing

    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 my question is twofold (or like eight-fold, if I'm ...

11. Hirevue, digital interview at Montefiore.

    spaghetina replied to lpn2rn2's topic in Job Hunt

    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 interview in the same session or were you able to practi...

12. Adventist Health New Grad Program, Central Valley

    spaghetina replied to krazievi3t6url's topic in California

    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 like? I'm wondering if I can record, and then erase a...

13. Good Samaritan Hospital San Jose New Grad Fall 2016

    spaghetina replied to 2ndGen BSN, RN's topic in California

    Has anyone heard anything back, now that interviews should be over? Regional Medical was hiring during the same period, and people are now receiving offers.

14. Good Samaritan New Grad StaRN program San Jose, CA

    spaghetina replied to Myndi's topic in General Nursing

    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 interviewed (before you ask, I totally bombed it, so...

15. Kaiser New Grad Salary - Bay Area

    spaghetina replied to spaghetina's topic in General Nursing

    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 have gotten ranges, but I know that in the Bay Ar...
