  2. Surgical Step-Down

    Hey everyone, I'm a newbie that will be starting orientation for the Surgical Step-Down unit April 10th. Can anyone share any words of wisdom for what to expect out of orientation and a Surgical Step-Down floor in general? I'll be working days and th...

  4. Career fair tomorrow... any words of advice?

    five10fevr - the job fair went pretty well. No interviews on the spot. Got a lot of info as to how the hospitals in my area hire. I asked plenty of questions. Left my resume with a few of the recruiters who said they hire new grads. At one booth, the...
  5. Career fair tomorrow... any words of advice?

    I'm going to dress professionally as if it were an interview. I also plan on bringing extra copies of my resume to hand out to recruiters. This is the first time I'm going to a career fair, what is there to expect? Is it true that sometimes they'll i...
  6. Include clinical exp or no?

    I included it on my resume as a quick list of which hospitals I went to and for which clinical. I also listed my senior practicum, separately though. My leadership professor is the one who advised that I list my clinical rotations, since I am an inex...

    The awful truth is that most women are SO catty. Does it REALLY matter how a new nurse LOOKS as long as they're a great nurse and willing to help/learn? Are you as threatened by the new nurses who are in their 40's-50's that went into nursing as a s...

  13. Feel like giving up (rant)

    Sorry to be so negative, but I've gone on 5 interviews and I still can't secure my first nursing job. I got laid off from my job as a CNA a couple of weeks ago, I'm only getting unemployment for now. I still live at home with my parents so it's not s...
  14. Didn't get the job

    Thanks for the support everyone... I come on here when I need some encouragement. I had another interview yesterday for a different hospital. I'm not really sure how it went, sort of okay I guess... but an okay interview usually doesn't get a call ba...
  15. The introverted nurse

    I love this posting... Nice to know that I'm not the only introvert that became a nurse in a very extroverted world.
