1. New Grad and No Job? Write to your Senator!

   kaikou replied to SparkleRN's topic in New Nurse

   Wow talk about being insensitive and assuming everyone is just trying to get a job within their area. I've applied all over the country and have had no luck.

2. New Grad and No Job? Write to your Senator!

   kaikou replied to SparkleRN's topic in New Nurse

   I'll be writing a letter as well! Hopefully even nurses with jobs can write letters as well, especially if they personally know of nurses struggling to find work.

3. Graduate RN--How do I work abroad? Any info needed!

   kaikou replied to whiteoleander5's topic in Immigration

   Did you work at least a year in the USA? As after looking at the website briefly it says that one also has to have had a year of experience in the last 6 months.

4. July Washington Hospital Center RN Residency

   kaikou replied to GuatericanNurse's topic in Washington DC

   That would explain things a bit in regards to the number of canceled invitations to interview. That is something I would never do either, being a scab worker.

5. New jobs anywhere?

   kaikou replied to Macha156's topic in New Nurse

   Please list any hospitals hiring new grads other than Washington Hospital Center, as I have come up empty handed.

   If you haven't received the confirmation e-mail yet, it's not likely you will. They have completed their confirmation e-mails and all spots for interviews are full. (or so they told me, reason why you see those of us who were invited, got rejection c...

   Just got my rejection letter for an interview...

8. July Washington Hospital Center RN Residency

   kaikou replied to GuatericanNurse's topic in Washington DC

   I doubt it, being that I was told well over 300 applicants were under consideration. I'm starting to think they invited everyone to an interview by mistake and are trying to cover themselves. If they didn't have the faculty to conduct that many inter...

   kaikou replied to GuatericanNurse's topic in Washington DC

   That's a horrible thing to do, invite someone to an interview and then cancel it. Very, very unprofessional, especially considering what plans those of us have put aside in order to make time for the interview itself. Can either of you post what the ...

10. July Washington Hospital Center RN Residency

    kaikou replied to GuatericanNurse's topic in Washington DC

    Starting to think they won't be contacting me about this job, which I think is really unprofessional of this hospital. It's already pretty unprofessional expecting those of us from out of state keeping our schedules opened up in order to make the pot...

11. New Grad Starting in Subacute Rehab

    kaikou replied to juststartinout's topic in New Nurse

    I think that rehab/skilled nursing facilities can hurt you on the pure fact that in order to handle the average patient load nurses end up utilizing short cuts in order to achieve their job requirements. In that sense hiring managers are leary that ...

    I don't have a DC license, but I have applied for a MD license which is part of the compact state license. I would hope that WHC will help those of us who are out of state in obtaining a DC license, as like you, I'm not going to apply for one if I do...

13. July Washington Hospital Center RN Residency

    kaikou replied to GuatericanNurse's topic in Washington DC

    5... Actually I have no idea, but I highly doubt that it goes past 80 and if I had to guess I'd venture to say it's below 50. Especially if they have these orientations twice a year and the fact that the amount of nurses retiring is extremely low.

    I called them today and they said they are currently working through the massive backlog of 300 plus candidates.

    I haven't heard anything yet. I really hope that I hear something tomorrow, as I want to schedule my flight using miles.
