I have an accusation against me that is being investigated by the BRN but it has nothing to do with patient care, drugs, alcohol, anything criminal etc. I'm being accused of unprofessionalism for something I won't get into on here. I had a nasty divo...

Did you accept the job? What do they start new grads at?

I’m a recent grad in CA with no acute care experience. I was offered a pretty awesome position in a new grad program but it’s a 2 year contract. I’ve been told they aren’t enforceable in CA? I was given the contract and it says I won’t get my offer u...

Is anyone planning on applying? Application period opens up April 29th. I am curious how it will work out with unit placement when so many programs in CA did not get to finish their preceptorships.

Ya Im pretty sure that means they have 16 vacancies total.

I applied at all 3 and chose acute care and then mental health. I was referred but I think everyone was that qualified. I have been told the VA hiring process is pretty long.

Does anyone know if NICU or the birth center are hiring and if they have made calls for interviews? In the past it seems different units call at different times.

You probably get tired of looking at new grad resumes but I need some fresh eyes on it. Our instructors weren't super helpful and the professional the school had to help wasn't really familiar with nursing. Example Resume.docx

They did my classes together. We all applied different days and were approved the same days besides a couple ppl that had delinquencies.

They will go off of where you did your preceptorship but mine was cut short due to Covid and my preceptorship was not on on my first choice unit. I expressed interest in my desired unit in hopes they wouldn't care I didn't do my preceptorship there. ...

Yes, mine says under review.

I expressed interest in the Birth Center or NICU.

I got that email as well, on May 28. Haven't heard anything since and my account says I am still being considered.

I interviewed a week ago and the recruiter said he would send my info to the hiring managers who would contact me in 1-2 weeks for an interview and then a possible offer. He said an ADN starts at 37 something and BSN is a dollar more. He asked all be...

I asked someone from HR and was told BSN is preferred and it depends on the unit but it is not required.

It is preferred. I emailed someone from HR about degree requirements and was told it depends on the unit and their needs as to who moves forward but that it is very competitive with a large applicant pool.

Sutter will hire you with an Interim permit and I have been told that previous students with an IP have been hired with Mercy.

I've only heard of questionnaires being sent after interviews.

I’ve been told they direct your application to open positions based on your preceptorship or other experience. You don’t apply for specific positions. I included my desired units in my cover letter and why I would be a good fit there.

I only included what was in the directions and did its just like the page said. I only uploaded the PDF with my cover letter, resume and transcripts. I uploaded it all to the resume upload and filled out the rest of the application.

I can’t find it either. Weird.

The website says its April 29-May 13. I thought it used to be a 1 week period? It looks like they will be updating their system starting tomorrow night so maybe that has something to do with the extended period. For people graduating this Spring I wo...

The LVN-RN bridge joins the RN students in 3rd semester. If ppl fail or drop out in 1st or 2nd they fill their spots in third semester with LVN students. They do a clinical class over the Summer and. then start in 3rd.

All the CA nursing schools are dealing with changes daily and their top concern is current students. Some schools are weeks away from graduation and don't know if senior students will graduate on time. They probably don't want to say anything officia...

ARC is going to repeat the semester this fall so IDK how that will affect you guys but I’m sure it will. All their class this semester were just canceled. sac state also held back 1-3 semester. They are only taking half the new students they usual...
