  1. I'm a new grad RN (May 2010) working in a prison on the 7a - 7 p shift. (For a little background, the oncoming day shift arrives before night shift finishes morning pill call, so we have to wait until it is over to do our turn over). The majority o...
  2. No responses to applications.

    Thank you all for your encouragement. One poster suggested that I speak to instructors. I have a letter of recommendation from one prof., but as far as speaking to them about calling managers, none of them that I had are employed at the hospitals.....
  3. No responses to applications.

    Hi all! I am a new grad and have had my license for a little over a month. I have applied to at least 100 (seriously) positions and haven't even gotten a call from one of them. I call the HR recruiters every couple weeks and am always told the sam...
  4. Would YOU accept this position?

    Thank you all of you for putting your two cents in! I considered every statement that was made. I called the DON and told her my concerns. She told me not to go in on Saturday or Sunday and to meet with her Monday (today) morning. I went in fully ...
  5. Thank you for your reply. I am just exploring options to get my foot in the door of a hospital and am considering every option. Thank you again.
  6. Hi all. I was wondering if anyone knows if a newly licensed RN is allowed (legally) to work as an Associate Care Provider in Florida. I'm not having much luck in the way of nursing jobs, and I know that working as an ACP would be a great way to get...
  7. Would YOU accept this position?

    Thank you very much for your input. I am taking everyone's comments very seriously and am weighing my options. The most difficult part of this entire situation is that my DH just retired from the military and we have lost half of our income. We re...
  8. Would YOU accept this position?

    I asked so many questions that I think people were getting irritated with me, but I felt as though they were trying to dodge my questions... I made it very clear that I am a newly licensed grad and never once was "charge nurse" mentioned when I spoke...
  9. Would YOU accept this position?

    This is an accurate description of what is going on. There was a facility orientation that was 2 days long and consisted of me sitting in a room watching videos. As for unit orientation. I'm being told that I will have three days of mentoring and ...
  10. Would YOU accept this position?

    Forgot to add one critical piece of information... I am newly licensed and just graduated in May... and I'm NOT ACLS.
  11. Would YOU accept this position?

    I was recently offered my first position as an RN in a LTC/SNF in northeast FL. I completed orientation and was scheduled for nights (7p-7a). The thing is, when I looked at the schedule, I noticed that I am the only RN with 3 LPNs and several CNAs....
  12. Opinions: Best scrubs?

    Anyone know where (or even IF) I can find white women's scrub pants with a liner? I have to wear white pants to a new job... thought I was done with white pants w/ graduation, but I guess not. Would like to find some with a liner in the "seat" regi...
  13. PSA Healthcare

    Wow... I just put an application in at PSA in Jacksonville, FL. I would really not be thrilled to do housekeeping but as another poster said, I would keep the patient's area clean. My only other option is to work in a nursing home that wants new gr...
  14. I graduated in May, Miss Whitney... (I actually remember you responding to some of my posts when I came on here to ask questions when I was applying to FSCJ!). Where did you end up getting hired? I have heard of newbies getting on with peds home he...
  15. Frustrated by job search.

    I have followed up with some of the places, but others that said they would hold on to my resume but were not hiring, I haven't called or followed up with them. One of the hospitals told me that I could check the status of my applications online. I...
