   Hi, I feel like I've been working on my personal statement forever. If somebody could proofread it for errors I would really appreciate it. Any feedback is appreciated. I need constructive criticism and don't worry I wont get offended. I can still r...

3. Need advice, how to get on at Level 1 Trauma Center or into Flight Nursing?

   panpan replied to nkbarker's topic in Career Support

   I heard parkland has good new grad internship for ER/ICU. Really competitive but you have a strong working background. Definitely apply for parkland! Many ppl would only dream of working there.

   panpan posted a topic in Government

   I am currently working as RN, BSN at a stepdown unit, just started my orientation a week ago. I served in the Army National Guard for 6 years, and just got out last year. I still have 1 year in-active duty left on my contract. So, I got a call from S...

6. Very little orientation for new grad?

   panpan replied to Britt7's topic in Job Hunt

   LTC "could" be worse... some only provide you with less than week of orientation. So maybe find out more about those LTC facility first before turning down on the hospital job. Honestly, if I was in your position with less than 2 weeks left to find a...

7. Graduated last May.... NO JOB

   panpan replied to CaliforniaRNnow's topic in Texas

   I have to sympathize with the 123wannabenurse, I am also a may graduate from last yr. I was offered a nursing home job on the spot and decided not to take it. I toured the facility and I just didn't get a good vibe from it at all. So I made a choice ...

8. Military CRNA

   panpan replied to rncandi01's topic in SRNA

   Coming from a military background, I would have to tell you to first talk to a military recruiter.. although recruiters do lie to you but at least they will do what they could to get into the program b/c they get money or have a quota to reach. Im gl...

10. How do nurse recruiters pick which applicants to contact for interview?

    panpan replied to ala080283's topic in Job Hunt

    So really... I would skip HR and talk to the nurse managers directly. Call the Hospital you want to work at, and ask for the floor you are interested in, then ask the receptionist for nurse manager's email. Then shot them an email with your resume/co...

11. discouraged...

    panpan replied to NurseKate16's topic in Job Hunt

    Ok this is what I would do. Wait one week and follow up with them in either a phone call or email if that's easier for you. Which ever.. You need to follow up a week later and remind them that you are still interested in this position and also ask th...

12. New Grad RN still no job

    panpan replied to annamee's topic in Job Hunt

    I agree volunteer, 60-80% of new entry level RNS get their jobs through savvy networking. It can be through your professors, volunteering positions, friends that already have jobs in hospitals... they can talk to their nurse manager and give you a le...
