Jobs out of school

I was offered my job in the NICU in April. I graduated in May.

I got my first job in a nursing home as an LVN right out of nursing school after I passed my NCLEX.

I have a job offer at a SNF with a hiring bonus after I pass NCLEX-PN.

I got hired right after the preceptorship.

I put in 33 applications before I got my first job. There was 5 nursing schools all graduating in a 75 mile radius when I finished. Everyone was climbing on each other to get a job.

I was hired in the ER where I worked as a tech right out of school.

I was hired a month before I graduated. I started applying to jobs two months before graduation, put in over 65 applications, and I had 3 interviews at my first choice hospital. I had a 4th interview scheduled at a different hospital, but on the day the interview was supposed to take place, I received a call with a job offer for two different floors!

I work on a progressive care floor, and I love it.

For LPN: had a private duty home health job right after I passed the NCLEX, then accepted a float position at a Rehab hospital a month later and worked both positions on a flexible schedule.

For RN: it took me 3 months to get 2 interviews, then another months to accept a hospital position in Critical Care.

Wow, 65 applications! I'm glad you got an offer at your first choice. Congrats!

2 months after NCLEX, my dream job at my dream hospital in L&D after ab out 300 applications

Offered my job May 1st, graduated May 15th. Med-surg but I was also offered ortho and OR. Just happened to graduate right when the market around here opened up briefly.

I graduated in January, passed NCLEX-RN in early March and was offered a FT position in the ICU where I worked as a tech in April.

Most of my classmates also scored jobs shortly after passing NCLEX; a couple in rehab, 3-5 in telemetry, only 14 of us graduated.
