  1. I can create a new thread but thought I'd try here first. Surely "no longer in consideration" job status is self-explanatory. But how about = Job Status: inactive, no longer accepting submissions. Submission Status: Interview(s) Completed. ...

    Kaiser Permanente Fresno Internal transfer question

    Did you ever get in?
  3. Hoping anyone or OP can update if they've successfully transitioned over to working as an RN in Canada. I just started my application today and plan on possibly living/working there (depends on what my Canadian SO and I decide in the next few years)...

    Psychiatric NPs in Canada?

    McGill University in Montreal, Quebec has a Mental Health NP Program so at least that province is recognizing the specialty. In fact they have 4 specialties available: Primary, Mental, Neonatal and Peds ... however you must meet their RN license requ...

    US citizen to Canada

    So... you have to go through NNAS for education requirements and evidence of nursing practice, take Ontario RN jurisprudence exam (according to this website: http://www.healthforceontario.ca/en/Home/Health_Providers/Nurses/Registration_Requirements )...

    Another lost new grad

    I moved 5 hours away from home knowing that my area would be hard to find a job once we graduated. I applied for a position and got the job 5 months before graduation, had 2 weeks to test, passed and left. So far I'm the only one who got into the int...
  7. Have you been applying to critical care jobs all this time? Are you still eligible for new grad residency programs with a critical care component? I think it is possible... sorry I do not have much advice on what to do! I will say, if you are able to...

    Can’t pass the NCLEX

    Not sure why people keep suggesting UWorld when you can fail with any review... nothing is a guarantee. If you are failing at 75 two times, you should really look into why you think you are, study differently, check out those evaluations and go back ...

    NCLEX: Do I HAVE to have UWORLD/Klimek

    Congratulations!!!! Glad you defied the odds in terms of what materials you had used. How did you use the Saunders to study? Did you use your pre-assessment's study plan? Focus on weak areas?

    NCLEX: Do I HAVE to have UWORLD/Klimek

    I know exactly what you mean - people keep pressuring me to get UWorld. I don't have the money and quite frankly, people passed NCLEX way before all these special reviews came about. If you've studied hard, done well in nursing school and already ha...

    I'm an RN-BSN new grad and i keep getting rejected. Any tips?

    If you desperately need the money sooner than later (RN pay), try SNF, long term acute care facilities (which usually they have pretty high acuity patients, vents, IVs, etc.) and even try psych hospitals or behavioral units within a hospital (psych i...
  13. Does anyone know or can explain the difference between "License by endorsement vs License by endorsement with exam"? I am a CA resident debating to just get CA license first, then endorse vs straight PA license. I'm assuming most employers are okay w...

    Chi St Luke Nurse Residency 2018

    Any news? ?
  17. Hi all! I graduate Aug 2019 and ideally would like to land a job before graduation and upon passing the NCLEX (hopefully early-mid Sept). I've already scouted out a list of hospitals all over CA as far north of the Oregon border to Mexico though it s...

    Where Do I Want to Work?

    From reading these threads, it seems working at the state level is dangerous - little security compared to a jail. What is your personal experience about the different types of psych? I appreciate your input! :)

    best advice for a new nursing student

    Congratulations on being accepted into a program! I am a 3rd semester student; a challenging class for me was Complex Adult Health or Critical Care (different schools call it different titles) - the material was fascinating, but what made it tough wa...

    Where Do I Want to Work?

    I haven't graduated yet but am nearing the end just like you. I loved my ICU rotation but want to specifically work on a burn unit. After my psych rotation just recently, I felt that connecting with patients on an emotional level was what really brou...

    Denied Nursing School.... Again

    Try a private school. I waited 1 and a half years (I applied to standard colleges/universities all over NorCal: Chico, Napa, Sac, Oakland, Stockton) before applying to the private one and got in immediately. Sure I'll be in a ton of debt, but I can p...

    Failing Nursing School

    Well, since no one else is willing to splurge then I will. I failed a class, two classes in my life - one in community college (Poli-Sci THE MOST BORINGEST CLASS EVER; I literally would fall asleep in that class, pulled off an A the next time around)...

    SATA questions help

    Dissect a SATA question by looking at each option separate from the others given. Ask yourself if it is true or false. EXAMPLE: A nurse is planning care for a client to prevent post-op atelectasis. Which of the following interventions should the nur...
