  1. UC Davis Medical Center RN Residency Summer/Fall 2018

    LifeIsBeachy replied to KO.SRNA's topic in California Nursing

    I also just got an email after reaching out to a recruiter--most Adult ICUs are also not hiring for the August cohort. I wish that they would have had a list of units that were hiring before

  2. Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford RN Residency Program 2018

    LifeIsBeachy replied to outsidegirl's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Mine is 8am on the 29th. What about you? IDK how to start prepping for a group interview, I barely like to talk about myself

  3. Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford RN Residency Program 2018

    LifeIsBeachy replied to outsidegirl's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Did anyone else receive information about the interview being a group panel, with 4 other new grad candidates? That spikes up the anxiety for

  4. Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford RN Residency Program 2018

    LifeIsBeachy replied to outsidegirl's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The HR department is going through some changes, the main point of contact is going on maternity leave! Don't give up, they are a little delayed. That is what I last heard from a friend working at...

  5. UCLA Summer 2018 New Grad Residency

    LifeIsBeachy replied to almostnurse2018's topic in California Nursing

    Kris--unfortunately no. So I'm guessing it might not work out for an interview this time

  6. Seattle Children's Residency August 2018

    LifeIsBeachy replied to emily122's topic in Washington Nursing

    natRN, how did you hear back? Did they call you? I applied for Critical Care track as well, have not heard anything. Just wondering if I should still keep my hopes

  7. UCLA Summer 2018 New Grad Residency

    LifeIsBeachy replied to almostnurse2018's topic in California Nursing

    If anyone could give some insight, I tried to answer the Assessment honestly (not always Strongly Agree on kiss-ass comments). Could it be that they were looking for those types of answers for the...

  8. Mayo Clinic AZ new grad rn residency 2018

    LifeIsBeachy replied to cam5393's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I emailed HR and got an auto generated response that all interviews were scheduled. This is a bummer if true. Should I even bother calling to see if this is the

  9. CHLA RN Residency Sept 2018

    LifeIsBeachy replied to IHeartTinyHumans's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Competition is fierce! I did not move forward with PICU but wish best of luck to everyone who is moving forward to all their

  10. CHLA RN Residency Sept 2018

    LifeIsBeachy replied to IHeartTinyHumans's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I had my speed interview today. All I can say is really be yourself! They will ask random questions that will make it easy to put your foot in your mouth if you're not thinking about it. Some related...

  11. CHLA RN Residency Sept 2018

    LifeIsBeachy replied to IHeartTinyHumans's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I spoke with the recruiter that called me for my interview. From my understanding, she's only in charge of certain units, so I'm not sure who the point of contacts are for

  12. CHLA RN Residency Sept 2018

    LifeIsBeachy replied to IHeartTinyHumans's topic in First Year After Licensure

    When I spoke with her she said she's calling around 30 *from* the pool of PICU folks that applied. I believe that pool was the 200. :) But that's not to say she's done calling people yet, so I'm still...

  13. CHLA RN Residency Sept 2018

    LifeIsBeachy replied to IHeartTinyHumans's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Can confirm, I also got a call tonight for an in-person interview with PICU next week! :) So

  14. CHLA RN Residency Sept 2018

    LifeIsBeachy replied to IHeartTinyHumans's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My guess is that they are extending video interviews first since those take a while. Crossing fingers that in person ones will be

  15. CHLA RN Residency Sept 2018

    LifeIsBeachy replied to IHeartTinyHumans's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Awesome, thank you so much for this timeline! The anxiety is killing me, but at least we'll hear back in the next 2

  16. Mayo Clinic AZ new grad rn residency 2018

    LifeIsBeachy replied to cam5393's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Has anyone's application moved from "Received" to "Application Under Review?" One of my applications to the Rochester one moved to Step 2, but not the AZ one. Crossing

    LifeIsBeachy replied to IHeartTinyHumans's topic in First Year After Licensure

    April is so far away!!

  18. CHLA RN Residency Sept 2018

    LifeIsBeachy replied to IHeartTinyHumans's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks for this thread! I applied to PICU. Anyone else graduating in May? I psyched myself out at the "Do you have state licensure for this position" question because I was worried that "No" would put...

  19. Insight on Dilaudid?

    LifeIsBeachy posted a topic in Patient Medications

    Hi everyone, Forgive me for being new to all these things that happen (still a student), but during clinicals my patient asked for Dilaudid. I let the RN know, and he rolled his eyes and said "oh, he...

  20. Insight on Dilaudid?

    LifeIsBeachy replied to LifeIsBeachy's topic in Patient Medications

    Wow, yes I knew it was stronger than morphine and that it was an opioid but I guess all I was missing was the fact that people who want the "high" know their desired

  21. How to stay away from smoking!!

    LifeIsBeachy replied to LPNtoRNin2016OH's topic in General Students

    I quit smoking a few years back, but you know what I kept saying to myself? There's never going to be a "perfect" time to quit. School will be stressful, your job will be stressful, life in general is...

  22. Low GPA applying to Direct Entry NP

    LifeIsBeachy replied to emmageo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As others have mentioned, you're not going to be able to jump straight into an NP position. But if it's a BSN you're looking into, try focusing on your GPA in the sciences. Get all A's in your...

  23. Trouble getting a recommendation

    LifeIsBeachy replied to rebellefleur's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Unfortunately if you didn't form any relationships with your professors during your time in school--even though you've been enrolled only for a year--that's on you. Many students take the...

  24. Accelerated BSN too many pre-reqs!

    LifeIsBeachy replied to poettech's topic in School, College Programs

    There are programs like the Johns Hopkins BSN that allow you to take the prerequisites online--but I would be very careful. Johns Hopkins takes online prereqs but many schools require an in-person lab...
