I am a final semester Associate degree student, also enrolled in my RN to BSN program. I anticipate graduating this December with my Associates and then next June (2017) with my bachelors. I really enjoyed school and have grown a lot as a person and as a nursing student. I am located in Maryland and I am a NURSE corps scholarship participant. NURSE corps is one of the greatest things that's happened to me and my daughter. I went right into med surg 3 weeks post partum and had terrible post partum depression, so without that extra income I would have been lost. Anyways, being a participant ask limits where I can work upon graduation as they have to qualify as a medically underserved area and have a boss score of atleast 14. Almost all of Baltimore and Washingotn DC facilities qualify. I was hoping to hear from nurses working in Maryland in these areas, both BSN and ADN, who can give me some insight on their experience finding a job. Will it help already being enrolled and soon graduating my RN to BSN program? Will they most likely tell me to reapply once I have my BSN? Any advice would be greatly appreciated on your experience, hospitals that hire new grad ADN or any other advice you may have.
Thank you
