  1. UC San Diego Emergency Department Nursing Certificate

    oceanhugger replied to darlink's topic in Emergency

    I start at a SICU/TICU on Monday as a new grad even though ED is what I feel my true calling is. I’m looking into taking the certificate program after I get a year of experience and transfer to the...

    oceanhugger posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all, I graduated with my BSN in December 2018, got my RN and PHN in April 2019, and six months out and have only had one interview offer and (I WISH that I were exaggerating) over 80 rejection...

    oceanhugger replied to krnohe's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It’s $26.50 during the new grad programs and then you’re paid as a clinical nurse 1 at the completion of residency. This is the collective bargaining agreement through

    oceanhugger replied to oceanhugger's topic in General Nursing

    I applied to a VA position for a second round the other day! I’m keeping my hopes up and my fingers crossed! Thanks for the website to the rural recruitment website! I’ll take a look at it!

  17. New Grad BSN, RN, PHN, EMT and can’t find work. Legality of working as a CNA?

    oceanhugger replied to oceanhugger's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! That is a great find! I’ll take that into consideration and see if I can find anything more up to date to see if that still currently holds. LVN pay would be much preferred to that of an...

  18. New Grad BSN, RN, PHN, EMT and can’t find work. Legality of working as a CNA?

    oceanhugger replied to oceanhugger's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you everybody for you input. I’m not really trying to discuss job opportunities as an RN outside of new grad programs. What I’m looking for is a financial tie-over job in the meantime. I am...

  19. New Grad BSN, RN, PHN, EMT and can’t find work. Legality of working as a CNA?

    oceanhugger replied to oceanhugger's topic in General Nursing

    I am certified as an EMT. Would I be able to work as an EMT any longer or is my EMT certification now invalid as an RN? I was hoping that I could still pursue ambulance jobs at the very least. Yes, I...

    oceanhugger replied to oceanhugger's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you - this is more along the lines of the information that I was looking for. So, if say an IV looks extravasated, as an RN I’m supposed to stop the infusion. As a CNA, if I got hired as a...

    oceanhugger replied to oceanhugger's topic in General Nursing

    You did what you had to do. What I’m worried about is, that without my RN, I don’t have any qualifications to work as a CNA or LVN role. Looks like I’ll have to at least put RN on there and hope...

    oceanhugger replied to oceanhugger's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for your honesty. That can’t have been easy at all. But I appreciate you being able to relate. Is it legal for me to eliminate the BSN, RN and put CNA or LVN on there? I feel like having...

    oceanhugger replied to oceanhugger's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. I understand that that may not sound like much. Just a month ago it was around two per day. I currently have just under 30 active applications out that I’m still waiting on and checking...
