   Girrrrlll I am with you! I'm in the same boat. I love my manager and my crew but the acuity of the patients as of late has me dreading coming to work every day. I am thankful that I have a job and grateful that I found my way into a residency program...

   Hi Jbholsom! Our cohort is full for this year. There are 3 groups in total, 115 of us new grads. The starts were 8/14, 8/31 and I believe 9/14. The next opening won't be until January, but I'd keep my eyes open for that posting. There was about 1/4 ...

   Hi Nursesk711! I'm on a specialty unit and couldn't be happier! It was the one unit I REALLY wanted. My husband and I settled on a 3 bedroom in Banyan Bay on San Pablo Rd. It liked the layout of the place, that it had a pool and allows pets. It's kin...

6. Bad Interview....I got the job!!! WHAT??

   Snafu13 replied to DoingGodsWork's topic in Job Hunt

   I felt EXACTLY the same way walking away from the interview for the job I have now. I was certain that I was by far and large the WORST interviewee ever. At one point, I was certain that the NM I was interviewing with was giving me a deer-in-the-head...

   Snafu13 replied to NurseBaddieRN's topic in Job Hunt

   I just spoke with HR and there's just a few issues with the computer systems that's creating a delay in getting our offers and information to us. No biggie. I did ask about the scrubs and was told that we would be measured and fitted for them during ...

    I'm actually in the same boat!! I plan on pursuing my degree in nurse midwifery and my minor is in women's studies. I took all but one of my required courses before entering the nursing program, otherwise, it would've been impossible to finish. I'm n...

11. How long did it take you to get your first RN job?

    Snafu13 replied to coffeemama0112's topic in Job Hunt

    It took me a little over a month to land my first job in a nurse residency program, but it was not without tons of legwork and rejection. I'm relocating cross-country and it's been tough to even get an interview with an out-of-state address. After ab...

    Snafu13 replied to NurseBaddieRN's topic in Job Hunt

    Hi Budra3, This particular interview session was actually a vast departure from a "traditional" interview, so it's hard to say. For our interview, it was set up similar to speed dating. We only had a few minutes to answer questions with the nurse man...
