  6. RN with ADN-Certifications to increase chances for a job

    It's definitely desirable, because it shows you are doing something during your time of unemployment. Also consider volunteering.
  7. Northwestern Application

    Make sure you have your license already. NMH won't consider any applicants without it. If you applied without it, create a new account and reapply when your an RN.

  12. Why not wait until an ICU position opens up at a better hospital? You definitely won't be making anything close to 100K, because most of the hospitals limit OT. Would you be OK with a big pay cut? The OR would be a great option if you want to be a ...
  13. New Grad w/ License - Job market

    NMH is hiring new grads. They get a lot of applications, so they are extremely selective. They hire BSN nurses only and prefer if you have some experience. Write a strong cover letter explaining what you have been doing after graduation. Find a ...
  14. BSN only hospitals?

    Northwestern Memorial only hires BSN nurses. I think most of the magnet hospitals only hire BSN to keep their magnet status, but I could be wrong about that. Enrolling in a BSN program might be beneficial to build up your resume and allow you to com...
