   JennM_RN replied to jessieracer's topic in Career Support

   Nursing needs to learn to value ALL nursing positions for their experience. I graduated in 2012 with my ASN, and the only job I could find was as a case manager through a Medicaid managed long term care company. I assure you, I am just as much a "rea...

3. It is Nursing-Yoda I seek!

   JennM_RN replied to JennM_RN's topic in General Nursing

   Actually, this is one of the problems I'm having. That article is on nursing homes. The point of MLTC and home care is to provided the same services in the home to prevent the need for a nursing home. Employees of nursing homes do have direct supervi...

   As far as nurses for MLTC, we are like case managers, but with no direct authority over the companies we contract to provide services. We were told we could be subject to a surprise visit from a supervisor during an appointment in the field, but that...

   JennM_RN replied to Nola009's topic in Geriatric

   Trust me, I'm with you. I have had my license for 2 years, but haven't been able to get into a hospital. I'm so disappointed in my expectations, but I'm going to keep working hard until I get where I want. And so will you! Any experience is better th...

   Can you take it until something better comes along? That way you can start working on your skills and get some experience until you have something that pays.

10. You think the "Nursing Glut" is bad now?

    JennM_RN replied to Guttercat's topic in General Nursing

    This is not the case in NY. Most facilities here will only hire BS RNs. There are few LPN positions left. In my borough there are 2 hospitals, neither have LPN or MA positions, they are hired into nursing homes, adult care facilities, and offices. I ...

11. Is there really a nursing shortage?

    JennM_RN replied to hoppingpete's topic in Activism

    I'm from NYC and the only shortage here is in available jobs for new grads! I was in Texas late year and I was told that I could walk into any hospital and they would pay me not to get back on the plane... I didn't test it out.

    Awww, keep your head up! I'm a fairly new nurse too! In NYC there's no shot at starting in a hospital and when all I had was my ASN I couldn't get into anything clinical based. I took a job doing community assessment for a medicaid managed long term ...

    Thanks for the suggestion! I would have to ask the teacher if I could conduct my own study, but I can't see her saying no.
