Hello everyone! I am currently on my onboarding process as a new grad. I received my tentative offer and started with the onboarding process very promptly early week of September. I am now 37 weeks pregnant and already on my disability/pregnancy leave. When the time comes that my onboarding manager/HR person calls or emails me a firm offer, how can I request for a delay of my start date and how long can I push it on a later date? This is my first pregnancy and I really want to bond with my newborn until she is 3 months old but I also want to make sure that at least a 12-week extension of my start date won't hurt my offer as this is the first job offer that I ever received after 10 months of graduating nursing school. Any input is highly appreciated. Thank you! :)

Hello, thank you for starting this thread! I received an email for career snapshot on Friday around 4pm and was invited for a phone screen yesterday. The recruiter said that I should hear again from them after a day or two. Good luck to all of us! :)

Hello everyone! I had my interview on the 27th. I checked my application status and they were all updated. 13 out of 14 have changed to "You have not been selected for this position." The other 1 was highlighted in yellow as well (which means it was updated) but stayed under review. So, I only got 1 unit left to hope for. Good luck to everyone! :)

I am relieved to hear that Encinitas takes a lil longer, there's still hope! :) I was discouraged when I saw others getting offers from different locations and I haven't received any email yet. Hoping to hear from them soon. Good luck to both of us! I'll keep you updated if I hear anything.

Yay! Good luck! Did they call or email you today? If they called you, what was the first 6 digits of the phone number they used? A lot of numbers have been calling me but never leaves a voicemail, I am afraid to answer as they might just be scam. LOL Thanks in advance!

Congrats on your interview invite! If you don't mind me asking, do you have any healthcare work experience prior to your application with UCSD? I remember that you were invited for interview with Sharp too. :) What do you think will help my profile become more competitive like yours? Any suggestions are highly appreciated. Thank you so much!

What does it say on your status? Is it still "under consideration"? Mine says "under consideration" and it was updated on November 17. I don't know what does that mean, I hope it is a good sign. I applied to Sharp Grossmont, Cardiac PCU. Anybody have heard anything for this unit?

Yay! I love your ideas. Thank you so much. Yes, I will definitely do that. I just searched for more forums and I've learned that California hires BSN grads than ADN. So I am now looking at Indiana State University's program for LVN-BSN if I am qualified considering my educational background.

Thank you for your response @JustBeachyNurse. I remember reading something about not qualifying for LVN-to-BSN if you got your educational background from other countries in one of the University Nursing Programs. Good thing you reminded me, at least I know which route will I consider. :) Yes, I noticed through my searches online that there are a lot of fully qualified nurses wanting to be a Navy Nurse. And I keep searching on what others do to become more qualified while I'm not citizen yet. Thank you again, your input is very much appreciated. :)

Hello wonderful nurses! I am a 23-year old female who passed my RN license in the Philippines right after graduating BSN last 2011 and came here in United States of the same year. I got denied by California BRN to take the NCLEX-RN because according to them I need to go back to school for some courses last 2012. I wasn't able to go to school due to financial reasons so I tried to get a job as medication technician first and earn for schooling. It is more than 2 years now since I got denied from the board and when I went to Cal State University to inquire earlier this year, they said that I need to go back to zero to have my BSN, not just take some courses. Because of that I decided to apply for NCLEX-PN and got approved to take it. I am currently waiting for the result of my exam last September 9, 2014. I am looking forward of receiving a passing result via mail one of these days. But my next step is to become an RN in California. I am wondering if I will write the California BRN to follow up my application for RN once I receive my passing result for LVN, will they respond with specific courses/subjects I need to take in a Community College or University instead of going through the whole ladder program of LVN-to-RN considering my BSN from the Philippines? My big goal is to be a Navy Nurse and I know I need to be a Bachelor's degree holder from a nursing school in US. I am presently just a permanent resident, and will be able to apply for citizenship on December 2016. Is there any possibility I can apply for Nurse Candidate Program if I will be taking the route LVN-to-BSN before I become a citizen? Please help. I really want to join the US Navy now that I am still young and single. I know I have the option of joining now as enlisted but I won't be able to work on my BSN while being enlisted. The recruiter for enlisted said that I am not qualified to be a Hospital Corpsman for the reason that I am a nurse from other country. I am fully aware that I have a lot of steps to take before becoming a Navy Nurse but I never lost hope. Looking forward for all your suggestions! Thank you very much in advance and God bless us all. :)
