That's basically my question. I am a new grad and I have been doing registry work at different snfs. I was wondering when if comes to my resume can I use the registry as experience? Or does it just show I like to hop from job to job and that I don't commit?

Basically I couldn't get into a hospital without experience but I am still trying for hospitals so I don't want to commit to a job and then quit if I get hired at a hospital so I have been working on call.

Thank you in advance for your advice.

If your registry shifts are through an agency, then your resume would just list the agency as your employer and it wouldn't look like job-hopping. I would think the fact that you've been successful doing registry as a new grad would be a positive to potential employers.

Thank you!!! Yes it is hard to do registry as a new grad. It is all snfs. I go there and the nurse going off duty give me report, " 34A crush pill, 34B whole pill, 35A crush pill, 35B crush pill, 36A whole pill....etc" Then they give me the med cart keys and that's it I am off to give medications to a bunch or strangers.
