It's really too bad they do this so late because a lot of us will have to accept other jobs before we hear back from them!

That's true! I can't help but check my status! I want to work at lpch so badly!

I applied as soon as it opened and mine quickly changed from "Recieved" to "In Review", but has since not changed. I have heard a rumor that they are rejecting already, but do not know anyone who has been rejected... Rumor?

Mine also says application in review since 5/1. I haven't heard of anyone getting rejected but it could be true? Maybe people who didn't have complete applications or didn't meet the requirements or something.

I've heard of someone who was rejected 24 hrs after applying!!! They are rejecting! My status hasn't changed!

I got rejected from Stanford pretty quickly, but LPCH still says "Under Review". I did my capstone there, so that's really the one I'm hoping for, but it was still pretty disheartening to be rejected from Stanford so quickly. LOL - at least let the application period close before you boot me out the door, if only to salvage my ego :cry:

Hi! Thanks for the info. I wanted to know if it was worth (please I know this question may sound stupid in the beginning) getting the BSN and completing a Nurse Residency program. Will a hospital be more likely to hire you? Than say specifically a new nurse grad from a AA/AS program? I'm asking because with the tuition hikes I'm re-considering my RN education route... Either that or anyone who has actually completed a Nurse Residency program and can easily (more easily) obtain a job? Can you also look for work in another state? What are the regulations with that? I hate this economy (

Basically, here is my personal concern. I want to do the critical care nursing, and everyone has told me completely different ways to get a position in the field. If it is best to hold out for the BSN, if no job prospects upon graduation then I'm willing to complete a Nurse Residency however only under the auspices it would grant me an actual job... Hope you can understand !!!

If you have a bachelor's degree you do have a slight advantage sometimes. It all depends on who is looking at your application, some might view more experience in other health care fields more important, for example. At the same time some hospitals, like Stanford, are moving to bachelor's degree only because they want magnet status. But will a bachelor's guarantee you a job? The simple answer is no.

You can work in another state if you apply for reciprocity, every state is different and you'll have to look up the procedure for each state. Unless of course you are in a compact state then your license will work for any other state within the compact. I don't remember the states off hand I just know California, where I'm from, is not one of them.

Hope that helps a little.
