1. Are there any new grad nursing jobs anywhere?

   terrjade04 replied to MisterSimba's topic in California

   I am living in the rural midwest, in a place I would think no one wants to live in, at least two hours from any major city, and trust me, the hospitals are not hiring new grads. The one or two part time positions that were open to new grads that have...

2. RN hourly salary in Illinois

   terrjade04 replied to Waitingformyresults's topic in Illinois

   I am about to graduate with an ADN in northwest Illinois. The small, local hospitals here offer about $18-20/hr for new grads, which doesn't seem like much when the factories offer that or more for entry-level pay (for jobs with no degree requirement...

7. Advice appreciated- I am burning out on the job!

   terrjade04 posted a topic in CNA/MA

   Hi, I have been working as a CNA at an assisted living facility. At first, I really liked it. I loved interacting with the residents, I grew attached to them, and I got along fine with my coworkers and nurses. Unfortunately, I feel like I am burning ...
