   We barely have any residency programs in chicago. Seems like new grads partake in these often--I was totally oblivious to this. Can you guys tell me more about the res programs?

4. New grad rn :( I wanna cry

   havemercy21 replied to srn789's topic in Job Hunt

   SAME HERE. This is so unfortunate and discouraging. I had enough and broke down. I absolutely despise waking up to rejection emails and no call backs or interviews. Wishing I went another route or lived in a small city.

5. Help! I need a job!!!

   havemercy21 replied to GGBRN's topic in Job Hunt

   I have done the exact same and have applied to about 100 positions. I've been turned down for more than half. This is definitely discouraging. How are we to get experience if no one will hire us new grads?!? Totally wish we had a nurse residency prog...

6. Pre Nursing Student--ER Tech?

   havemercy21 replied to duckyluck111's topic in Emergency

   Start by volunteering if there are no tech positions open. generally, after youve completed the first semester of nursing school (fundamentals, etc), that cancels your need to get certified as a nursing assistant. volunteer..start school...be on the ...

    havemercy21 replied to LLL01's topic in NCLEX

    For my study regimen: I used the Saunders (yellow) book for content review. It was great for content review. It comes with a CD of questions and i started by practicing those questions first. After officially getting my test date confirmed, I had onl...
