   Is it me...or is it impossible to get an interview and a job in NJ! :(

   AntMarchingRN replied to KittyinNj's topic in New Jersey Nursing

   If you are still looking and really willing to move, check out northern Virginia/Maryland. I lived in North NJ and got nothing after graduation from 2009-2011. My husband's job moved us to northern VA...

   Should I take the job because its a Magnet Hospital?

   AntMarchingRN replied to jaznia15's topic in First Year After Licensure

   Personally (JUST my opinion) I would not consider magnet status in my decision. I think you are giving it too much weight. What is magnet status? I mean, I know what it is, but what does it do for...

   Help, I'm a new nurse....worried about losing licensure constantly..

   AntMarchingRN replied to KayDubb's topic in General Nursing

   Try looking up your state's regulations on nurses. That way you know what reasons a nurse could loose a license and you won't be afraid of things like getting sick ending your career. Something like...

   New grad...ER or NICU?

   AntMarchingRN replied to Shanlee79's topic in General Nursing

   I would go ED...I am also biased, but the points made above make a lot of sense. As a new grad, ED gives you a chance to go anywhere if you find out its not for you, where as NICU somewhat limits your...

    New grad needs help deciding which job to take L&D or Dialysis Clinic

    AntMarchingRN replied to mommo5's topic in General Nursing

    This is the best type of problem to have, which job do I take? I'm just happy to see a new grad having to decide between two jobs instead of not having any prospects. You have to make your own...

    License endorsement

    AntMarchingRN replied to dienne's topic in First Year After Licensure

    No, you will not lose it, you will just be licensed in another state. For example I am licensed in NJ and PA. I must do CEUs for each license and follow renewal proceedures for each. However, I think...

    AntMarchingRN replied to AKA_Glamour_Pearl's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have to state that you are a nursing student during your interview? I dont understand why it would even have to come up. Simply state what hours you are available. It is none of their business...
