nurseJaneRN thank you for the encouragement, I have been really down today after getting yet another rejection. I keep on thinking "what am I doing wrong". I have 2 degrees and still can not get work, the only way to get work is through nepotisim. If I am grant another interview I think I will wear all black, I keep thinking maybe I am wearing the wrong outfit. I will not wear any makeup just be plain jane. At the end of the day I know I will be a excellent nurse. I am a humble person, caring and love to learn.

I'm still there - the rejection notices have been making their way to me like the plague lol. What were you wearing to your previous interviews?

Did you know that there is a CHLA September cohort thread already? https://allnurses.com/california-nurses/september-2011-chla-549411.html
Hi NurseJaneRN,
I thought I looked really nice and professional for my interview. I invested in a black blazer, white top, and black pencil skirt from Banana Republic. I think from now on I am not going to dress so nice. There is a saying "never outshine the master", so from now on when I attend interviews I will wear all black attire and tie my hair back. I actually tired wearing all black attire for a job at an adult day care center to help them with maintenance issues, such as taking there medication on time. This is not my ideal job because I have no health benifits, and I am paid very low. I am afraid if I do not find a position in a hospital I will forever be shut out from ever working at a hospital. Apparently the hospitals are turning there backs on new graduate RNs.
I thought it would be a good idea if all the new grad RN formed an organization in order to bring attention to the public. In the long run not investing in our new graduate RN will hurt the public, we need to be trained and old nurses need to give the new grad nurse a chance to practice, so the nursing profession
Hi Oooitzsharon,
I have two degrees: First degree is a BA Biology
Second degree is a BSN
I do not feel that having two degrees help to land a job.
