    New Grad: Which Job to Choose?

    My vote is for#1 ! It sounds like a great opportunity. I may be a bit biased though because I'm seeking a position sort of what you described in #1 and if I'm offered the opportunity, I'm taking it :)

    DC License by Endorsement

    I think they open at 0800. Call them first thing and speak to them. The only way to get a license is to call non-stop 😔 Edit: to answer your question, I have only gotten a temp.

    Sorry, we must start you as a new grad.

    I know a nurse on my that had LTC experience too and they put her in the new grad internship program. It's not exactly fair to label you as a new grad, but if you are seeking an acute care position that may be an option for you to get your foot in t...

    I'm in the same boat. Has anyone had any success with calling? I applied last Wednesday and they have cashed my check, according to my bank. I hope that is a sign that they are processing my application.
