1. Any luck for new grads in home care agencies?

   islandteam2003 replied to bjorklover's topic in New Nurse

   I have worked for two home health agencies doing Peds. The orientation has been adequate and there is someone at the other end of a phone if necessary. I have learned quite a bit and feel this experience will be valuable when I DO get into a hospital...

   Thanks Opposum! You are right on so many levels. It is hard to "give up the dream" of whatever your chosen field in nursing may be...but maybe that is part of it...don't give up them dream, just delay it for a while and get whatever experience in nur...

   I got my "no go" letter as well. Ashyash, I planned on trying one more time, but now feel it is probably a waste of time. I applied to many residency programs, with nothing but interviews and a bunch of time and money spent. I think these programs ar...

   Just have to ask, one more time?? Did ANYONE hear anything at all from Legacy? It amazes me that they can't send out one "group" rejection letter...

   I am in Bolivia, I planned it around the dates they had stated on the application. So if I do get a call for a 2nd interview it would have to be by Skype! But I am thinking I might go back to school for Nurse Practitioner specializing in Peds. Not su...

   Nope, but I am assuming they have made their choices known by now. What do you think? I guess nobody that was on here got a 2nd interview, or they forgot about us!

   Anybody got anything?? I expected an e-mail by now. A rejection would at least provide closure! Packing for Bolivia...really! (But only for a mission trip!)

    Right back at ya LilRed! We didn't do all that studying for nothing. And God didn't give us a passion for Nursing for no reason. He is just teaching us patience. Let you know if/when I hear anything, either way!

    Yea, and I leave for a mission trip from Seattle to Bolivia on the 27th. Cutting things close there too. Stressful, but I had to let go and let God. I CAN'T control this. Painful realization, but it still helped to know I am not in control, but I hav...

    Well, I still have hope then...until I hear otherwise! Patience certainly is a virtue I struggle with. Good luck all! Maybe some of us will eventually meet!

    It is really frustrating. My passion is Pediatrics. I finally got a home health position and have been working it for the past 3 months. Love my kiddos and have learned SO much! But then so many of the application requirements stress 6 months CLINICA...
