I'm so happy for you. What were you doing to keep yourself busy until you got a job?... About getting a job in a hospital, i know someone who started out in a nursing home and later got a job in a hospital, so it means anything is possible. Good luck with your new job.

Congrats. Your chances should be better than someone with no experience at all. Good luck.

Thank you greekisfun. While I was looking for work, I was babysitting and doing anything that I could do to stay busy. I was also applying to tons of jobs while trying to find a job. It was tough but I am glad I got my foot in the door somewhere.

Thanks.

I emailed them my resume in September 2010 and I heard from them in late November for my interview and was hired on the spot. I was supposed to start my orientation in December but it was postponed until January 3. It is located in Ossining, NY.

Hi everyone,
I am considered an old new grad basically a veteran. I graduated January 2010 with my BSN and finally got a job in a nursing home. I took the job because I wanted the experience and no where else in NYC is taking new grads. I hope to gain experience so that I can still be able to apply to hospital positions and am able to put I have some experience. What is the likelihood that hospitals will take nurses with nursing home experience???

Hi,

Congratulations on being accepted to CNR. It's a great school. My advice to you is to study, study, study some more. Make sure to read your books ahead of time to keep up with the workload. Also make sure when you complete your first med-surg, apply for an internship/externship because that's a guarantee to getting your foot in the door. Choose a hospital that you really want to work at and also apply to many facilities not just one. The tuition for CNR is expensive because it is a private institution. Per semester I was paying $12,000+, equaling my tuition to about $24,000 per year. I never room and boarded at CNR because I lived 15 minutes away. So I'm guessing with the scholarship you received, it would be $4000 per semester. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have anymore questions. Plus if you want to email me directly with any info/questions my email is [email protected]. Good luck.
