I have been at it for 14 months and can't get a job in a hospital. There is nothing I haven't tried and no place I haven't applied. It has to be over 250 applications to every hospital, LTC, etc. I even know the director of nursing at OSU and they ca...
I will completely agree with the age discrimation is rampant! I know it can never be proven, but I have a hard time believing that a new grad with no experience (and much younger than I) would be better suited for a job when I have more hands on nurs...
As stated prior I graduated in 2010 and been working HARD to find a hospital nursing job (yes, includes SNF, etc) for 13 months with NOTHING to show from it but a lot of rejections. I think it is MUCH easier for an experience hospital nurse to get a ...
So,a year later after the last post it is obvious things have NOT changed! I have been trying for 13 months to get an Staff RN job with a big fat ZERO! Must have experience as an RN in the hospital, how the heck do you get it if no one takes a chance...
I work at NCH...that is incorrect. They are hiring..but..only experienced RN in the floor they are hiring for...sorry. I can't even get an RN job there and I have worked there for several years!
Thank You ScottE for the quick response! I do have my BSN. I had to take on another position in the hospital to stay connected in some fashion, but it is not a nursing position.
I am having the SAME PROBLEM!!! I graduated June, 2010 with passing the NCLEX in July, 2010! It doesn't help I am a more 'mature" RN on a second career! I have put in over a hundred applications with a big fat ZERO! I even tried Critical Care Fellows...
luvmyguys - There has been many of floating for RN's that I have noticed! In our orientation class there were 20 people that are scheduled to graduate in 2010 too! All we can do is keep trying and hope the construction falls ahead of schedule! I trie...
I just got hired at Children's for Floating PCA. They did have a massive hiring of "nursing students" for PCA/ and floats. The orientation started 12/15/08. They mentioned they do this once or twice a year with nursing students. I think the next roun...
I used the saunders review book in place of the HESI. I used the book outline...not so much the questions. I studied my weak points and the unfamiliar material in that book and I used saunders because of this website! I kept reading how everyone said...
Currently attending Otterbein Continuing Studies in the Nursing Program and it is cheaper than Mt. Carmel. They encourage you to get your pre-req done at CSCC (it is a great school and much cheaper), then go to Otterbein for a few more classes and al...
Don't know about pay and work, but Columbus Public Schools only received a "C" in progress - and that was an improvment! I live in the area and put my kid through private schools to keep him out of the CPS system. Please do your research before you d...
7 very long semesters (which includes summer) and more white hair! still questioning why a person that is an "older student" has to take senior year experience?! what the heck? the only thing more "rounded" in life is my back end!!
