I'm EMPLOYED after relocating to New England, FINALLY!

[Bobbkat]

I graduated Dec of 2009 and immediately relocated to Southern New England. I knew NO ONE here, let alone in the hospitals. I applied everywhere. After HUNDREDS of apps, and quite a bit of really creative networking, I finally started to get offered interviews. A few were cancelled for various reasons. Finally I went on my first interviews last week, one for a major teaching hospital, one for a clinic. Both really, really great positions.

Today the hospital called and offered me the position!!!! I'm a Neonatal ICU nurse now!!

Congrats on your new position! Perserverence really does pay off!

Wow what a great first job!! Many congratulations especially for continuing to be positive and search. Please keep us posted on how it goes.

[Meriwhen, ASN, BSN, MSN, RN]

Congratulations! And very impressive, considering that to do it, you moved TO an area that's scarce in nursing jobs to begin with.

Thanks, everyone! I started work...it feels SO nice to be working as an RN finally. I'm still in classroom orientation stuff, but can't wait to start on the floor.
