   JModz RN replied to Emerald2's topic in Illinois

   Hi!! I'm a JJC grad - Dec 2010. Your TEAS score is very good especially if you got a 92.9% in reading, congrats! People have asked me in the past why they look at reading more closely than the other areas and it's because you really need the compreh...

2. New Grad w/ License - Job market

   JModz RN replied to Tito RN's topic in Illinois

   Oh, also, definitely write a strong cover letter & resume and really SELL yourself! That really truly does make a difference. I have a friend who is a nursing recruiter and that came straight from her (she's not around here unfortunately lol)

   I'm a new grad from Joliet area and let me tell you, it's no better here! I have many many friends who are still looking. There are quite a few hospitals in our area that ARE hiring new grads but in very small #s, to the point that they didn't even h...

6. Not scared of the doctors

   JModz RN replied to noyesno's topic in General Nursing

   It's definitely nursing instructors who instill the "OMG I'm going to get cussed out" thought in your head. But personally, their method worked for me because before I call any Dr I make damn sure I have every piece of information I need in front of ...

7. Criminal background check

   JModz RN replied to Clite12's topic in Criminal

   I don't think minor traffic violations have any effect on your eligibility. Typically if you have an arrest record with things related to drugs, theft, DUI, DWI, battery or assault is where you are going to run into a problem. It likely will depend a...

8. BSN only hospitals?

   JModz RN replied to jessicanne's topic in Illinois

   What area of IL are you in? I know of many hospitals that will hire ADN's (but most of them also expect that you will be continuing your education to get BSN). I just graduated in December and applied to every hospital I could think of because the j...
