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...
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...
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...
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?
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...
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...

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...
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...

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...
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...
