1. Dec 2011 Graduates

   skyegirl replied to beu4me06's topic in Job Hunt

   I am a Dec 2011 grad as well, and I previously lived in Ohio, have since moved to SC for my first RN job. I sent out 250 resumes, all over the southeast, and last month *finally* landed a job in SC. If anyone would be willing to relocate and transfer...

2. New Grads...Don't give UP!!!!

   skyegirl replied to AleOnFire's topic in Job Hunt

   Patti-RN, not all new grads live at home with their Mom and Dad. I have two teens that have gone without for a long time now while Mom persued her dream of becoming a nurse. I have bills to pay, and as great as volunteering may look on a resume, I ne...

3. New Grads...Don't give UP!!!!

   skyegirl replied to AleOnFire's topic in Job Hunt

   First, Congrats on the new job:) But, I am pretty sure once you are a licensed RN, you cannot "volunteer" as a Nursing Assistant. Something to do with laws, etc. Not that I don't believe in volunteering (I do at our local shelter), but I need a paych...

4. SC Forum is very inactive?

   skyegirl posted a topic in South Carolina

   I was just wondering why this forum doesn't have any activity? It seems like all the other states have people posting all the time, sharing information/job leads, etc. And SC one is so inactive. Does anyone have any insight as to why?

5. New Grad ICU programs in NC

   skyegirl replied to rn8621's topic in North Carolina

   I have been applying all over NC since February (graduated Dec 2011) and have had absolutely no luck so far. I am really becoming frustrated with the whole thing, but trying to remain positive. I guess now I get to compete for jobs with May graduates...

7. I had my interview and now I'm worried

   skyegirl replied to NerdyNurse24's topic in General Nursing

   I know this is an old link, but I have the same type of question. Last week I went for an interview (new grad), and they asked me to come back the next morning for a peer interview. After, they sent me to HR to sign off on a background check. Tomorro...

8. Grand Strand Regional Medical Center...

   skyegirl posted a topic in South Carolina

   Hello All, I have an interview coming up very soon with the Grand Strand Medical Center, and was wondering if anyone could give any advice on what to expect at the interview (format), time between interviewing/job offer, hospital culture, etc. I am r...

9. cover letter please help

   skyegirl replied to ellie23's topic in Job Hunt

   I have applied for 130 RN positions as a new grad looking for a position. There is NO way I can tailor the cover letter to every single hospital's posting. And, some hospital's websites only allow you to upload a different resume/cover letter a maxim...

11. no hope for nurses without experience??

    skyegirl replied to smhs's topic in Job Hunt

    Warning* This is a vent. Not being able to find ANY RN job just makes you feel like crap. I am also tired of hearing about ALL of those nursing jobs clueless people talk about. I have literally applied to 120 positions, in every state, for either exp...

    skyegirl replied to mama.RN's topic in Job Hunt

13. The Nurse's Role in Providing Spiritual Care - Is It OK to Pray?

    skyegirl replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Spirituality

    What you wrote makes me sad, even though you were being honest. I am not a believer in any gods, but I would be happy to hold someone's hand, of ANY faith, while they prayed. I would also be quite happy to call a chaplain if preferred. I have found c...

15. no hope for nurses without experience??

    skyegirl replied to smhs's topic in Job Hunt

    I feel like we are in the same boat! I have applied to literally 120 positions in the past 6 weeks, and NOT ONE PHONE CALL. I live in Ohio, but am licensed (RN) in NC (a compact state) because I want to relocate to the southeast, and felt getting a l...
