2. Unemployed & inexperienced New RNs. Vent it out!

   Russianred, BSN replied to captain byakuya's topic in Job Hunt

   In all honesty, the best way to get a job is to be in people's face. Go to your local areas of interest, drop of resume's, set up appointments, follow-up yourself, don't wait for responses, and literally bust your way through. It works. What doesn't ...

3. Thank you note after interview

   ^ Good question, who do you send the thank you card to? I'm assuming the exact person who interviewed you? That would only make sense.

15. What are my chances?

    Definitely apply to others as well.. You don't want to be left with nothing in case something doesn't go through. Always have multiple backup plans!
