    Salsacat replied to Salsacat's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I interviewed last week for the medical behavioral unit and was told that if I "passed" I'd be contacted for interview #2 within 1-2 weeks. References will come after that interview if I'm chosen to...

    Salsacat replied to ItsDaisyDear's topic in California Nursing

    I could write a book to answer this... but suffice it to say, yes, it's that hard for new grads anywhere coastal. I'm bilingual, have two master's degrees, a 4.0 GPA, and every certification under the...
