2. Health South Rehab Hospital?

   JerseyGir1 replied to Mulan's topic in Rehabilitation

   JerzeeMike-- I am a new grad and have an interview at another HealthSouth location in NJ. Do you have any tips on interviewing (what they will ask, what I should ask?) Any info would be appreciated!

3. License Number in NJ

   JerseyGir1 replied to JerseyGir1's topic in NP

   Spoiled-- about Mollen... how long did it take them to email you the packet in the first place?? See, they called me after I applied on their website but I didn't have my license # yet. So the other day when I received my # from the state board, I ca...

5. Nurse Liability Questions

   JerseyGir1 posted a topic in Career Support

   I am a recently licensed new grad. I plan to obtain my own professional liability insurance but I wanted to get some opinions fist. Is NSO (nurses service organization) the major provider? They come up first when I google "nurse insurance". Is this t...

7. New grad RN pursuing masters AND a job!

   JerseyGir1 replied to JerseyGir1's topic in NP

   I also thought of Mollen when you (Holla) said immunization clinic. I am in the process of applying with them, but I'm waiting for my darn license # to come in. NJ stinks at getting that together. I also have an interview with a private duty agency. ...

8. New grad RN pursuing masters AND a job!

   JerseyGir1 replied to JerseyGir1's topic in NP

   It seems like a good time to be in school and bad time to be out in the workforce. Even if you have to get the hospital experience later, I think you should go for the higher degree if you can right now. That's like the only thing keeping me hopeful....

9. Hospitals hiring new grads

   JerseyGir1 replied to HappyBSN,RN's topic in New Jersey

   I am confused when people suggest LTC for new grads. I haven't found one nursing facility that employs RNs as staff nurses. Every one that I call uses LPNs and CNAs and has RN supervisors - not the role for a new grad. Anyone have any names of LTC pl...

10. License Number in NJ

    JerseyGir1 posted a topic in New Jersey

    I just passed the NCLEX and I'm anxiously awaiting a license number to appear on the BON website so I can add it to job applications... Anyone know how often they update it (last was July 9th it says). Or if I call, will they give it to me?

11. New grad RN pursuing masters AND a job!

    JerseyGir1 posted a topic in NP

    I really, truly understand the need for hospital experience before becoming an NP, even an FNP in primary care (my tentative goal). So, instead of beginning the rigorous 1-year Masters-NP program I was accepted into, I decided to do it part-time over...

12. Nursing home experience for HH?

    JerseyGir1 posted a topic in Home Health

    Man, there are no jobs out there (for new nurses). At least not in the philadelphia suburbs. I want to do homecare eventually but I can't find any med-surg jobs for experience first. It sounds like I might have more luck getting a nursing home/rehab ...

13. New grad, advice please

    JerseyGir1 replied to JerseyGir1's topic in Home Health

    Thank you for your honest reply. I will probably be getting a hospital job before anything else.. although who knows how long that will take at this time!

14. New grad, advice please

    JerseyGir1 posted a topic in Home Health

    I know what you all think of new grads in HH. I would love it if the job market wasn't so bad and I could quickly get a med/surg job, then in 6 months to a year start looking into HH, but I just don't think I will get any job that fast, let alone ano...

15. Should I Go Straight Through???

    JerseyGir1 replied to JerseyGir1's topic in NP

    Thanks. I like to hear both sides. The commonality, though, is experience as an RN either way. Looks like as long as I do that, I should be okay.
