ADN New Graduate for May '14

U.S.A. North Carolina

Published

Hi all! I'm new around this joint and have a question that's probably pretty revolving right now, but I'm going to ask anyway :D

I'm finally starting to consider my future after nursing school ends in May. I'll be an ADN graduating from GTCC.

I'm flexible with location within the state / willing to relocate (actually DYING to relocate) to wherever. I would prefer NOT to work med/surg but I'm pretty flexible within any other environment including Home Health, Hospice, LTC, whatever but my calling is absolutely L&D or travel nursing (I think, hehe). What I'm looking for is places that are still hiring ADN new graduates within the state & I'd love your help. Also, even though I prefer not to work on a med/surg floor in a hospital, I'm realistic in knowing that I might have to start here to get where I'm goin, just as a disclaimer. Also, I do plan on getting my BSN ASAP but I'm still considering where I will get it from based on where my first job will be.

So basically, if anyone has any general advice, I'd love to hear it. I currently work as a CNA/Caregiver in Home Health but I don't have my foot in the door with any hospitals. I know most hospitals in this area are requiring a BSN unless you are already employed there and will commit to getting the BSN within X years.

THANKS!!! :cyclops:
