Hey, I've been working on a step down floor for the last year. I've recently been offered an OR position in my hospital. I wouldn't be scrubbing in, but from what I've heard, it can still be a lot to learn. I think most of nursing is difficult and my...
Hi, I have been working in occupational health for the last 2 years, and recently got an interview for a hospital. I already met with HR, and they called me in for a 2nd interview to meet with the Director of Oncology. Is there any advice a more sea...
I currently work at an occupational health clinic that pays pretty well, but got an offer at a city hospital (elmhurst), which pays about $8,000 less on a psychiatry floor. Do I take this offer or keep looking? It's the first job offer I've gotten at...

I am curious about this as well. I just got an offer on a psych unit at Elmhurst, which pays less than my job now which is outpatient. Any advice? Do you take the job that offers more experience and less pay for more work or keep the job that pays mo...

I think it depends how long you have been applying. If you just started applying 2 weeks ago, I'm not sure you need to settle for the first place you get. With that being said, hospitals in NYC are rly tough. I've been working in occupational health ...

What hospital/town did you relocate to? and how do you use a local address before you moved? Is it really that bad though that you want to leave ASAP? I love nyc social scene but the jobs here are slim and few for new grads. It seems in every job mar...
Hello, I am hearing there are more hospital jobs for new grads in florida than my area (New York). Is this the reality? I am considering applying as I have been looking form almost a year. I will be finishing my BSN in August and would like to find s...

I should have clarified. I am a new grad (may 2014). I have a bachelor's in another field and an associate's in nursing, and will be done with my BSN by this August 2015. I have wondering if I should take the extra time to volunteer once a week in a ...
I just started working in a nursing home and i feel like the work in mind numbing. I give meds, wound care, and charting and then I restart it all. I am on my feet all day and don't always have time for lunch and don't always leave on time. My questi...
I just started working in a nursing home and I found out I do not get paid for lunch, I get an hour off but I never actually get time for lunch. So I get paid for 35 hours instead of 40 and I actually end up staying later everyday to finish my charti...
Does anyone know if they are accepting new grads with ASN that are enrolled in BSN programs because it says qualified candidates but doesn't specify what that means. Anyone else attend any of these?

I would say to stay in florida. I just moved here to finish a BSN and so I am looking for part time so maybe that makes it harder but I have been looking for 2 months and haven't found anything. I have gone more some interviews at drs offices but the...

Yea, I'm doing some per diem flu clinics here and there as well. They pay $30 and hour but there aren't a ton of them and they are not consistent. You got to take what you can get. As soon as I get my nj license, I'm looking in northern jersey. I am ...

I'll try that. Yes, I actually did just get hired by a home care company, but they woman takes forever to get back to me. She said she's busy and still has to find time to call HR to find out if they have all my paperwork and then she'll find nurses ...
