New Grads, How much do you work?

[babsy28]

I was just wondering how many jobs new grads are working? One job FT, or multiple PT/Per Diem positions? I've worked at least 2 jobs but typically 3 for the last 6 years and I was wondering if new grads are really finding FT positions or just taking whatever they can get with the market being the way it is.

I'm graduating with my BSN next year, so this maybe a little premature but my fingers are crossed that I'll have one FT position.

I work FT. W/end doubles. Baylor. Geri-psych. LTC

We have lots of PRN shift work available because management's always calling w/ends to pull shift. I work tomorrow for instance. Managements always fussing about paying OT but management never puts out ads to hire any nurses to pick up the slack. Management offers a GVN position but they don't advertise it.I don't understand it. Many facilities have openings but no one is actually 'hiring'.

I live in S. Texas.

I had a HH job but I felt dangerous so I resigned. LOL I'm probably going to get a staffing job. This one facility is nothing but vents and such and I need more exp with airway management.

Graduated in May'12 and passed NCLEX Aug'12. I got full time work in October'12 as an admissions nurse (not good for new nurse), lasted 4 months and then found the job where I am now and loving it! I work 3-11 Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I have Monday- Thursday to be home with my family and I can also pick up an extra shift if I want to.

Graduated May 2012 with my ADN. I was hired per diem at a hospital for med-surg and tele (prn was only thing available at the time). I worked 3 to 4 days per week by choice (could work more or less). Husband and I wanted to buy a house so I had to go part time to include my income. I work 3 8 hour shifts per week, every other weekend. It's not bad but I definitely miss per diem. Loved having control over my schedule and working the same amount of time that I do now!
