   psycheab replied to ArmyTwin's topic in New Jersey

   Just wondering what the hiring climate is like for new graduate nurses in the Cherry Hill area. Is it highly competitive/may take 6 months or longer to find a job? Possibly moving to NJ because of husband's work; did this not terribly long ago, but t...

   psycheab replied to Nonnifers's topic in Government

   I was in your shoes roughly 6 years ago (wow, it's already been 6 years.) Um, I was in my last semester of nursing school when hubby got orders for Japan. I graduated in May, took NCLEX in June, and we moved in July. I applied to a few jobs I came ac...

   Thank you for your response! I need to first lose about 25 lbs to "make weight" for my height and then I would want to do as you suggested, lose an additional 5-10 pounds just to be sure. I'm already down about 15 lbs and I know that I can do it, eve...

   psycheab replied to JillyRN's topic in Government

   Just looking for some clarification, as I'm still learning some of the jargon. By Clinical nurse boards, do you mean for those going in that already have some experience? I was looking to apply to go to NTP, would that be considered a separate group....

6. Air Force Nursing 2013

   psycheab replied to JillyRN's topic in Government

   I'm fairly sure -- I was on the Air Force website and selected Healthcare Recruiter and searched for the one that I thought might be the most accessible from my current location. He is in LA, so I'm thinking he just may have so many applicants/intere...

7. PCS orders Air Force Wife

   psycheab replied to panchie2me's topic in Government

   The first place would be usajobs.gov. Unfortunately, right now there is a hiring freeze. Do you have any experience? We had PCSed to Japan right after I passed NCLEX and wasn't qualified because I didn't have any experience. However, it never hurts t...

   Okay, I've posted before about how long it took to hear from a recruiter. It's now been like at least 10 days and no response. Is it okay to contact another recruiter?

9. Air Force Nursing 2013

   psycheab replied to JillyRN's topic in Government

   We are in Korea -- there are opportunities to work at military clinics/hospitals, but they strongly desire people with at least 1 year experience, something I lack. And that was also the first obstacle I ran into when I first graduated with my ADN. I...

10. Air Force Nursing 2013

    psycheab replied to JillyRN's topic in Government

    Okay, so I know I need to be patient, but I'm wondering -- when you first contacted a recruiter about applying (AF nursing) did they get back to you right away? (In another thread) I posted that I'd emailed a specific healthcare recruiter yesterday, ...

14. Current job market in Northern Utah? Looking to relocate from MD!

    psycheab replied to KMRN81's topic in Utah

    psycheab replied to KMRN81's topic in Utah

    Do you have any experience? If not, I've got some bad news for you my friend. I hate to sound discouraging, but I looked for a job for a long, long time and must have applied to hundreds of jobs. Hundreds. I went on 2 interviews and never found a job...
