  4. 44...................
  5. Too quiet to be a nurse?

    That teacher is an insensitive ----- Who the hell cares if you're making BFFs in nursing school or not? She needs to mind her own damn business. If you think you will enjoy being a nurse and be good at it, politely ignore her and do your thing, gir...

    I worry about the age thing, too. I'm 46.

    Thank you for the reply. I will definitely tailor my cover letters to adapt to the agency, especially because I'm applying for more than one type of position (LTC, Home health, med/surg, psych).
  12. New grad offered job at Pain Clinic

    As a newly licensed, unemployed nurse, I say GO FOR IT! :)
  13. Question about cover letters

    In reference to cover letters, when submitting dozens of applications, is it okay to have a somewhat generic letter that can be easily changed to incorporate the company to which you're applying? The idea of customized cover letter for every single...
  14. Small-town nursing

    Hmmm.....I hadn't thought of the limited resources. Interesting, and those are challenges I would be willing to undertake if offered a position. Thank you for the insight.
  15. Small-town nursing

    I graduated in May, passed the NCLEX May 30, and am looking for my first job. What are your opinions on looking for work in small towns? Do you think it would be a hindrance for future nursing positions in a bigger city? Working in a rural hospita...
