2011 Graduates Put your hands up

Published

I thought it would be cool to start a thread for all that are graduating in 2011. I finish in October and have to wait for graduation in December. I would love to hear everyone's plan after they finish school. What field of nursing are they going into, do you already have jobs lined up etc.

I finished nursing school April 2011 and I just passed the Canadian Registered Nurse Exam (CRNE) =). Yay for passing and to all that hard work! Right now I'm looking for jobs here in Canada but I also plan to take the NCLEX sometime this year or next year.

Specializes in Peds OR as RN, Peds ENT as NP.

Finish ABSN program in December. Whew, but doable. I would like to work in peds, peri-op, or oncology. Will apply to Pediatric nurse practitioner programs as soon as NCLEX is passed.

No job lined up. I live in FL but think I'm ready to "explore."

Congrats to you. :yeah:. I didn't know you had to take a CRNE in Canada. Has it been hard to find a job?

Wow congrats, how did you find a job so fast. I work for a hospital. I get a scholarship for the hospital I work at and I had to sign a two year contract, just afraid of where they may stick me when I graduate.

Congrats to you. We both finish in December. It takes a special person to do pediatrics. I think I want to do cardiac stepdown.

There are definitely jobs open but not a lot of Full-time hours. No one has called me back yet but I'm trying to get work from my last clinical placement (not the unit, but the hospital itself).
