I got the JOB!

Specializes in Medicine.

Hello everyone,

I posted couple weeks ago about starting as a new grad with an agency. I got some wonderful feedback from nurses to get out of that environment where I was being thrown into hospitals on various units with absolutely no orientation.

I just wanted to update (due to excitement) that I got an interview for a position on a medicine unit in one of the hospitals that I worked on as an agency nurse.I had the interview early last week and received the call back earlier today.

Finally, after several months of sending applications and resumes everywhere, I got a job! So after all the agency did a huge favor for me by sending me to the unit (before I quit on them).

Thanks for those who gave me the advice to look for other options!! Love you ALLNURSES.

Not to rain on your parade here, but you could end up costing you employer a lot of money.

Most agencies have a clause that says that they will not hire you outright without a huge fine by the hiring company. If in fact yours did that, they could go after your new employer.

Not so sure it was luck - if you made it by transitioning from new grad to agency, then you must be doing something very right! Congrats!

I agree if you work agency you probably have a no hire clause. as a cna if i had gone to work for a facility within 6 months it would have fined the hospital 10 thousand and me 5 thousand. I would check it out because its a legit contract that you sign when you do agency. (our contract was never discussed but it worked into our paystub that hospital charge and i had to sign in order to be paid)

I do work at a facility i was an agency cna at now as an RN and that connection got me that job but i had quit working there for the agency 6 months before
