   *Karleena*RN* replied to *Karleena*RN*'s topic in General Nursing

   Carol- THANK YOU!!! That is exactly what I needed to hear tonight!! I so appreciate you not nagging at me about complaining...but instead "lighting a fire under me" and getting me going in the right direction!! I will go out tomorrow and buy a new o...

2. It's NOT fair!!!!

   *Karleena*RN* replied to *Karleena*RN*'s topic in General Nursing

   Won't that really bug the nurse managers who are super busy to begin with? Won't they think that I'm trying to "cheat the system"...or "that's why we have HR departments"? The last thing I want to do is get on their "bad side." So it seems to be a...

3. how did you make it through RN school!

   *Karleena*RN* replied to ladybugme!'s topic in General Nursing

   Make sure you balance your time with school vs life so you don't get too burned out. I know a lot of people suggest having tons of fun during breaks and then saying "adios" to everyone during school... but I don't agree. I think you need more of an...

4. It's NOT fair!!!!

   *Karleena*RN* replied to *Karleena*RN*'s topic in General Nursing

   Nope... nothing pans out for SV either. They are the ones I was referring to in a previous post about it not even letting me finish the application now because of just recently graduating. I used to get the rejection emails regularly...but it's lik...

   I've posted it.....this thread just got too long and wordy so most people probably didn't see! :) I'm in Las Vegas, NV. I've tried the FB thing; I'm friends with one of my clinical instructors from school; I know a few nurses in various hospitals ...

   *Karleena*RN* replied to *Karleena*RN*'s topic in General Nursing

   Wow! Thanks (to some of you) for the helpful comments!! I was just venting...so please don't attack me for feeling the way I do. I thought this was a place where I could maybe vent my frustrations... so if you don't have something constructive to ...

8. It's NOT fair!!!!

   *Karleena*RN* replied to *Karleena*RN*'s topic in General Nursing

   haha! Unfortunately moving right now is not an option. My husband has a stable job here in Las Vegas...and unless I find something far better than what he's got - we're stuck here. And I'm definitely not just applying to hospitals... I'm trying every...

9. It's NOT fair!!!!

   *Karleena*RN* replied to *Karleena*RN*'s topic in General Nursing

   Thanks for the encouragment! I applied to a volunteer program just recently - so hopefully that will give me something "meaningful" to do! I'm at a loss of what to do/say when going in to see HR. With all the applications being done online - wha...

10. It's NOT fair!!!!

    *Karleena*RN* posted a topic in General Nursing

    How on earth am I supposed to get nursing experience if NO ONE will hire a "new grad"?! There are so many job positions supposedly available....but they won't even consider me! It's NOT FAIR!!!! I can't even get my application/resume past HR. The ...

11. Hating the "new grad" title!

    *Karleena*RN* posted a topic in Nevada

    Hello!! I'm kind of new to the forum (had an old account a couple years ago)! I graduated in December and I'm already so discouraged about finding a job. I know that it's a very common problem...so I don't mean to whine the same ol' sob story as e...
