  1. still unemployed and still frustrated!

    Really? But are they hiring new grads or just experienced RNs? Where I am in the east coast, I know many new grads without jobs. I went to a job fair a few weeks ago, where there were major big and small hospitals, and none were hiring nurses without...
  2. job fair

    But different hospitals may have have other rules. I was just told by the NYU recruiter that they 'prefer' those who graduated within the last 6 months. Since they have so many applications, then it's just more likely to get chosen if you fit that ti...
  3. job fair

    I didn't hear that from the recruiter, but possibly. I did hear from the NYU recruiter that they have a nurse residency program in Feb. But I don't qualify since I graduated over 6 months ago. Also, the recruiter said it's highly competitive, and the...
  4. Any hospital hiring new grads? anywhere in the country?

    I just went to a job fair last week in NYC, and every single hospital there said they are not hiring new grads right now. Some were major big hospitals, with long lines of new grads waiting to hand in their resume. They basically said that at the mom...
  5. job fair

    I went, but every single hospital recruiter there said the same thing - no new grad positions at the present moment. Some would take resumes, but others would not, and tell you to apply online. I asked one recruiter when the hospital (Mt Sinai) would...
  6. job fair

    Anniee, don't give up. I think you should go anyway. I have been searching for longer than you have, and still nothing. Don't feel bad. There are many in the same situation. But you can't stop trying. Also, have you tried nursing homes or home health...
  7. job fair

    There is another career fair next Wed. 11/4, by Nursing Spectrum. I wonder if that will also be similar to the Advance fair?
  8. Working as a nurse in NYC

    Try looking up some threads about new grads looking for NYC jobs. There are many who have been looking for a while and still can't find a job. It can be quite competitive to get a job in NYC in a hospital, especially. The bigger hospitals usually wan...
  9. I don't know if that is possible. I have tried looking for a volunteer nurse position in hospitals or clinics, but they simply don't allow you to do any nursing functions unless you are working as a nurse. I was told that I could only do things like ...
  10. still unemployed and still frustrated!

    I get that alot too, and I can't stand it. It's mostly from people who are not in the nursing profession and know nothing about the nursing profession. Another one I hate is when people tell me 'But when I looked in monster.com, etc. there's SO MANY ...
  11. When I was in nursing school, I'd say about half the class was early-mid 30s, and some over 40. You'd be surprised at how many people either change careers or decide to go to college for the first time after 30. Besides, I think the average age of a ...
  12. That's really disheartening for me. What will happen to all the 'new' grads who have been looking for a months, a year or more? I didn't get a chance to do an externship, and now it's too late for me to enter those programs. I also have been told b...
  13. Help needed re BP parameters

    I learned from different instructors and doctors that BP guidelines of 120/80 are just a guideline, and sort of outdated now anyway. There are many people whose BP is under 120 systolic, and it's normal for them. I happen to be one of them, usually w...
  14. PLEASE HELP!!! Looking for a new grad RN job!

    I'm not sure how to help, but just wanted to let you know that many new grads everywhere in the U.S. are experiencing the same thing, and some have been searching since last year. Check out this thread below. If you do a search on this site, there ar...
  15. Drop out rate of nurses

    In all fairness, the 4 year programs don't completely encompass 'only' nursing core or 'only' science programs. Any 4 yr Bachelors college degree includes several 'general ed' courses such as college level English, Math, History, Social Sciences, Art...
