Hello everyone I just wanted to give other new grads out there some hope. I graduated December 2013 with my ASN and took the NCLEX February 2014 and passed. I got a job at a home health agency which I love but I really wanted the acute experience. I watched as all my friends got interviews and jobs. I had connections as well but none worked out. I went on 2 interviews before this one and didn't receive any job offers. I even starting thinking about moving to ND, Texas anywhere
I got this interview for the job I have now because I got really depressed and said I'm just going to call all the HR departments. I expected nothing from this. I called HR before, emailed nurse managers and went in person to hospitals rehabs etc without any luck. This time the recruiter informed me of a position and sent my email over to the DON. 2 days later she called me back. Then 1 week later I interviewed and not even 5 minutes after the interview I was offered a position!!!! God is good because they still had people left to interview!
To all the New Grads first don't be afraid to accept a non hospital position. 2.) Realize that even if you don't receive a job offer after an interview you still got a chance to practice your interview skills. 3.) Never give up! If nursing is your passion then keep at it!
Congrats sugar12! I totally I agree with you about not giving up! I finally got an offer for a hospital job and I'm excited about of my mind. Although I haven't made my decision about actually taking the job, at least I can think about it and make my decision soon. New grads, don't give up and stay strong!
Congratulations again sugar12! I hope you got the unit you have wanted (or at least that you like it).
