3. Working the free clinic in Chicago August (CURE network & Remote Area Medical)?

   snowboardjunkkie replied to DolceVita's topic in Illinois

   Hey! Congratulations on passing NCLEX. You won't be able to work as an RN until you are licensed. I think it would still be a great opportunity if you volunteer as a general volunteer-That is what I did when I worked one of their events in Kentucky. ...

   SnowStar-any way you can let me know what area of the country you are in? I would LOVE to get into a residency program, and I've been looking online for information on them-I am happy to hear though that there is a chance I could get into the OR with...

   snowboardjunkkie replied to snowboardjunkkie's topic in Operating Room

   Can you PM me what hospital you are with? Even though I'm a new grad, I'm in my 30s and I have worked EMS and as a Nursing Assistant, so I can appreciate focusing all my attention to one patient at a time-One of the things I didn't like was having 14...

10. Are new grads...

    snowboardjunkkie replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with many of the posts on here about the job market. I am a new grad also, and I have applied all over the country, as relocating is fine if that is what I have to do. I've looked at residencies all over as well, but they all say you have to ...

    Thanks, Sweets! It's encouraging to know this is a possibility-Do you know whether your fellow new grads have applied directly with the hospital and then followed up or have they been applying via search engines? Good luck to you too in reaching your...

    snowboardjunkkie replied to snowboardjunkkie's topic in Operating Room

    LOL-I have been applying. I should've put a little more information up. I'm a new grad, and I've been trying to find residencies but the next cohort dates aren't listed. I don't even know if they hire new grads in the OR :) If you are an OR nurse, ma...

    Hello! I was wondering what the best approach to getting into the OR would be? A long term goal of mine is to get my CNOR and RNFA certifications. I'm not afraid of doing the hard work; I'm unsure about how to go about being offered a chance in the O...

    snowboardjunkkie replied to snowboardjunkkie's topic in New Nurse

    Spela-Congrats on getting into a flu clinic. I hope you find something too, and I can relate on the being broke. I have learned quite a bit though by struggling financially, so perhaps it is a blessing in disguise!

15. Frustrations of finding a job

    snowboardjunkkie replied to snowboardjunkkie's topic in New Nurse

    Oh, wow! I feel you on seeing job listings during your sleep-I wish I gould get some sleep. I've been job searching hour after hour until 4-5am then getting up at 9 to start doing it all over. Then I read posts about new grads and the negativity that...
