  2. SOCAL ICU Training Programs

    It's an extremely over saturated market. All the major institutions in San Diego hire ICU new grads, but is based on individual unit needs, budget. UCSD, VA, Scripps, sharp etc have all ICU new grads...
  3. Interview at Sharp

    Some institutions don't hire those only with interim permits, it's employer
  4. UCLA has some really nice perks, much more than Ucsd where I work. I don't know about UCD but in the end it it's about what unit you're hired on, where it can take you, and if it'll help with your...

    Ah thanks for the heads
  11. SMU's 2016 program

    They are rejecting people already? The deadline isn't until fall isn't
  12. Still debating, it's on the weekend and I think I rather catch up with family. I'll post if I change my mind and do attend
  13. GRE vs GPA

    Like stated above, you can increase your chances with a stronger GRE, not your GPA. If you can take more master level classes it would only help though I can't speak for efficiency in
  14. Swan-Ganz - CCRN exam

    You'll be fine taking the ccrn with little to no hands on
  15. Transitioning to Burn ICU

    Lots of people, even here and above say they can't and wouldn't do it. But it's not bad. Sure it smells, but so does medicine and liver patients. I'm not special, I go in and do my job the same in my...
  16. SMU's 2016 program

    I'll be apply as well. Just have to take the GREs and maybe a physics course. I haven't had my transcripts evaluated but considering attending the informational
  17. "Don't Work" Isn't An Answer

    The only time I'd say you can't work while in school is when you're anesthesia school. All else is very
  18. Will I get benefits if I'm hired full time?

    I ordered a chicken sandwich, will it have tomatoes? Well it depends on where you go, region etc. You could have been hired as a volunteer at a local church for all we know. These are some things you...
  19. San Diego Hourly Rate

    With experience it'll be more about low 40s before differentials, varies a few bucks depending where you can land a job. At UCSD as a new grad post probation will be making 38 or so, 42 with 3 years...

    If you're questioning if it would be convenient for you, you should probably stop looking into it. You're owned by the government. There are no guarantees in anything, especially war time. The risks...
  22. New York pediatrics practice: is this fair?

    It's not an acute care position. Likely, neither is it unionized. They can do whatever the hell they want, for everyone one the is hired there are hundreds right after thus it's really not in your...
  23. Leave CO to beach

    You're not getting any tuition reimbursement programs in California. New grad programs are overly saturated as is. High pay is offset by high taxes and cost of living, especially if you're looking at...
  24. Gender discrimination

    Hot Damn such strong gender statements. Dumb, lazy and arrogant! Experience aside, maybe he pulled off the interview well and as others have stated, your manager wanted to get rid of him as well. And...
  25. Silvadene or??

    We use and alternate ssd and sulfamylon on dirty burns pre surgical debridement. Our docs used follow the Wound clinic too but would treat the population much differently (chronic old nasty ulcers...
