2. Sharp New Grad Residency Winter 2010/2011

   orange juice replied to twentysomething's topic in New Nurse

   I understand you worked hard for your position and I am sure you are great. But I remember seeing in another post you didnt have to interview for your position and that the manager created a job for you. sounds like you knew someone. Im not trying to...

   orange juice replied to twentysomething's topic in New Nurse

   I dont think I am junk either but I was saying that employers think we are junk. You were lucky to know someone to get your job thats different. For someone with no connections and a ADN it is difficult.

   orange juice replied to twentysomething's topic in New Nurse

   I heard the same thing from someone in the ER. I also heard 1600 applicants system wide. To the comment dont sell yourself short bc of a ADN. All the ADNs I see on this site that have jobs seem to have been EMTs, LVNs or something along those lines ...

5. Planning advice needed

   orange juice replied to Whole Life's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I would also plan for possibly not having a job like most of us new grads across the country. I would say if you can afford to have kids now do it or if you are lucky enough to even get a job right away you will probably work difficult hours to rais...

   Very nice good luck :)

7. HR becoming pickier?

   orange juice replied to want2banrn's topic in New Nurse

   I know this will make many of the new grads here vomit as it almost did to me. I know of two new grads that got jobs at a local well known hospital both with terrible GPAs and failed a class and had to repeat a second year. One even failed the NCLEX ...

8. Since we cant get nursing jobs...

   orange juice posted a topic in New Nurse

   What other jobs can we get in the medical field. I cant go back to my assistant job. Every other medical job it seems I cant get hired because of the RN license. So what now? Can I go to EMT school or will I be denied for that too. Its not like EMTs ...

   I would like to participate too. I have been told I had a good resume before but since I havent received any call backs I changed it a lot. Thx

10. About transgendered patients

    orange juice replied to YEGRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is interesting I actually had a conversation about this with a friend that has many transgendered friends. They told me the person is either pre-op or post-op simple as that. So if its a male transitioning to a female. She is pre-op female and e...

11. Advice needed:go for an RN or straight for a MSN?

    orange juice replied to LTee's topic in New Nurse

    I would try and get a job in the medical field somewhere and get your feet wet and stay working there at least part time in school. If you have no experience at all once you finish nursing school you are more than likely to be stuck without a job.

12. Types of jobs for RN vs BSN/MSN...?

    orange juice replied to kaytoni's topic in ADN/BSN

    Its worth it if you want to be specialized in a certain area. Need masters to get to CRNA if thats what you really want. If its for the money there are no jobs. with the nursing excess right now if thats how you are choosing the profession probably n...

13. BSN's REQUIRED to get a job??

    orange juice replied to gunnerpup's topic in California

    Get the BSN from a reputable school. Unfortunately us ADNs arent getting even less offers than BSNs and getting your ADN to BSN is a pain. At least to me it is. I am doing it now with no job. working as a ADN and get your BSN is wishing thinking nowa...

14. Is there really a nursing shortage? I am starting to think not.

    orange juice replied to sc0628's topic in New Nurse

    sc0628, I doubt there is really a big decision to make which has a better job outlook. PT has a hard time finding jobs too. I have a cousin that spend a long time looking for a job in CA, only to move to Oregon in a small town to work as PT. At least...

15. What would you do differently?

    orange juice replied to RPN_2012's topic in New Nurse

    In my situation I would have moved out of state to get my BSN. Apparently ADN equals no job unless you know someone even if you have a lot of volunteering and certifications. I wanted to stay close to home so I did the ADN. I know BSNs are having a h...
