Do you already have your RN license? To be able to apply to Arcadia 

I do! I got my RN in August 2025. Does it only let you apply if you have an active RN?

I hope you have a better experience but if it takes a while and need some stuff on your resume try RO Health when you get your license I've been working as a school nurse to pay off loans too

It's not bad I was also extremely nervous at first being a new grad but I asked them to give me an orientation shift before I started to see the routine and it wasn't bad at all. I will say mostly we are placed 1:1. My case is very simple and all I do is stand by for emergencies or dressing changes. If you really need something on your resume or extra money to pay off loans I think it's great. I for sure can't see myself doing this long term as I love my 3 12s and crave my skills but it's great as an in between !

If your application says under consideration does that mean you will get an interview compared to under review?

I don't think so because when I applied to a stand alone RN new grad for usc mine said under consideration and I never got an interview
