4. Cali new grad RN

   emoraver replied to UltraT's topic in Job Hunt

   You could apply to positions in TX if you want warmth. Houston and San Antonio have great hospitals. Once you get a year or two of experience, you'll have a better chance of getting jobs in Cali. Socal is rough, rough, rough. My classmates from ...

5. UC Davis New Grad Residency

   emoraver replied to Marykdarling's topic in Job Hunt

   I had a phone interview Dec 23. It felt like I was taking an exam. When I mentioned to the manager I had other offers, they simply said, "You should take them." Ouch.

6. Blind CVs versus Applying to Job postings

   emoraver replied to JennyA's topic in Job Hunt

   I think it really depends what city/cities you are looking in. If you apply to, say a major research hospital that has no listed openings for new grads, you have a 0.00004% of getting called. Look at where you did your clinicals, that's a great pl...

7. Moving & applying for jobs online

   emoraver replied to julgard's topic in Job Hunt

   It all comes down to how your resume/cover letter appear to the HR peeps, as managers don't generally make the initial decision of who to bring in to interview. Also, nursing is my third career. I just graduated. I had interviews in NY, IA, KY, MD ...

8. UC Davis New Grad Residency

   emoraver replied to Marykdarling's topic in Job Hunt

   UC Davis isn't like most new grad programs. The start date is Jan 29 and I believe they are interviewing for both start dates before Jan 29. My assumption is that most interviews will be done before the end of the year. With the residencies that I ...

9. Tips on the job hunt...What I've learned

   emoraver replied to emoraver's topic in Job Hunt

   Yeah, I think some hospitals may weed out based on salary. It was only a few hospitals I applied to that had the salary field marked "mandatory." Most hospitals have it as optional. I think they would weed out thinking you would expect more. I j...

11. Tips on the job hunt...What I've learned

    emoraver posted a topic in Job Hunt

    Hey all - I wanted to share what I've learned about the job hunt experience over the past six months. Nursing is a career change for me. 1/ IT DOES NOT MATTER WHERE YOU WENT TO SCHOOL OR WHAT YOUR GPA IS/WAS. Once again - It DOES NOT MATTER where...

12. UC Davis Nursing Residency - New Grad Sep 2014

    emoraver replied to akulahawkRN's topic in Job Hunt

    I don't think they send out rejection emails. I applied for the most recent cohort and received nothing.

13. Boston children's hospital cicu

    emoraver replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in Massachusetts

    I'd tread lightly contacting the NM out of the blue. While I was in a different industry when I hired people to work for me, if I got a phone call - I found their resume/cover letter and immediately threw it out. This was also because I had clearl...

14. Where should a new grad BSN move?

    emoraver replied to NewYorkerGirl's topic in Job Hunt

    Look at Norton Healthcare in Louisville, KY. I interviewed for a job there but turned it down cause it wasn't the right fit...but they hire new nurses and Louisville is a really cool little city. I loved the hospital and the manager and the other n...

15. New grads & Job Offer: When to settle

    emoraver replied to JustAdmitToObs's topic in Job Hunt

    I think your first job should be in a field you really want to be in. Start applying for residencies now...all over the country. Unless you are dead set on not moving from where you currently live. If that is your situation, you will have a diffic...
