As of today I have counted that I applied to 83 job positions since mid January. I applied to 23 different hospitals/facilities to any unit available and hiring so I wasn't picky at all. I got rejected from 35 of those positions through email (the dr...
I was actually wondering about the whole pony tail look as well. For my interview I wore a pony tail because I tend to play with my hair if I get nervous and I didn't want to subconsciously do that and look unprofessional. But I also read from anothe...

I feel like I'm in the same position. I had my license since November. I lost count of how many postings I have applied but I did get two interviews but haven't heard back. I got a couple of rejections saying I don't have enough experience despite th...
I decided to do a hand-written note and personally delivered it (I live really close to the hospital I interviewed at). I also feel that emails sometimes get lost on top of all the other hundreds of emails they get everyday. I read somewhere on this ...
Thanks so much for sharing your experience! Makes me feel a little better...and yeah I'm pretty sure I was reading too much into it as others have told me. I just can't help it! I looked it up on google and there's mixed reviews but majority articles...
I recently had my first interview as a new grad for a great residency position. I was nervous but I felt pretty confident with my answers then I noticed things during my interview that made me feel like I probably won't get it. First of all, I found ...
It's perfectly normal to feel like that! I started nursing school thinking it would be manageable but I found myself struggling hard! I was stressing out like crazy and feeling like a complete idiot. If I wasn't in class I was studying and I basicall...
No actually. They wouldn't tell me anything. While I was waiting the first four weeks I called probably once a week to get a update on the process but they would tell me I had to wait 4 weeks. When 4 weeks passed they sent me a letter saying they wer...
I really think it's random. I know a lot of classmates who had their license number on the IDFPR website in 2 weeks after sending in their license application. I was not so lucky...took them about 2 months to finally have it up online and mail my off...
Thanks for the good advice! I already contacted them to ask if it's alright to list them as a reference :) Two of my references are from previous jobs so even though it may not be nursing related they can comment about my performance and work ethic
As the title said, Can we use our nursing instructors as a professional reference? Technically they are academic references but I feel like they are still our supervisors when we have clinical. I'm suppose to list 5 professional references when I go ...
Thanks for all the advice everyone! So far I still haven't heard anything but I did have one of my applications change to "Under Consideration" do you guys know what that means? like is that a sign of hope or is that just standard with every applica...
Hi and sorry to hear that. I also didn't pass on my first try but passed on my second attempt so there is definitely a chance that you can also. What materials/resources did you use to study for your first attempt? Look at your CPR and see what areas...
I'm not sure which area in IL you're from but in Chicago I would not buy quick results because you get your results from continental testing site in the mail in 2 days after you take your exam. If you pass you get an application for licensure and you...
