I've been reading posts on this site for the last five years and have enjoyed them so much.

I'm a mom of a nursing student who does not visit these forums but I wanted to post that my daughter graduates with her BSN this Friday and already has a job starting in June in the Neuro ICU unit of a local magnet hospital!

There are jobs out there!! :up:

She's worked as a Care Partner in the CICU the past two years during her junior and senior year of school. That went a long way as far as landing the job in the Neuro ICU.

It sounds as if your daughter has made a lot of good decisions and done a lot right to get her career off to a good start. Congratulations to both of you!

Congrats to your daughter!

The fact that she's been working is definitely important information - in a lot of places that's one of the most important aspects to getting a job!

THANKS!! Yes, she worked hard during school between classes and her job but it all paid off. My understanding is that Magnet hospitals are allowed to hire a percentage of BSN new grads and ADN new grads. They really prefer experience not necessarily a particular degree. I think they rather hire an ADN with experience over a BSN without. My daughter happen to have both.

We're thrilled.
