1. Should i just "hang in there"?

   sr919 replied to sr919's topic in New Nurse

   Yes noviceRN i totally agree with you. I actually did most of the care for 1 patient my 2nd week, but thats because I was paired up with a per diem nurse that was one of the most helpful ones I had, and she actually requested me to work with her, but...

4. New grad survey! Bsn over adn!!??

   sr919 replied to mirc88sl's topic in New Nurse

   I would have definitely done BSN, or at least I would have tried to get into the hospital to work as a CNA. I opted to continue to work as a Medical Assistant, but that did not help me at all. But I guess it really depends where you live, but here i...

14. Are nursing grads still having a hard time finding jobs?

    sr919 replied to mariposabella's topic in New Nurse

    If you really want to be a nurse, then you should just go for it. I graduated in May, 2010 with an ADN & still have not found a job. The job market is still quite bad for new grads. In the meantime maybe spending the time to get your BSN would ...
