   MissPinkrnbsn replied to MissPinkrnbsn's topic in Job Hunt

   I've basically spent the past 10 months searching just about every job website imaginable. I had no connections so I really pushed hard everyday. I think going on so many interviews helped just because answering questions and conversing became second...

3. A bit overwhelmed.

   MissPinkrnbsn replied to derekfitness's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I loved my A&P classes. It helped having a friend that I could study all the material with. We even went in during open lab time and took photos of our cat so we could visually see what we had to study on the lab portion. My instructor had also p...

4. Looking for a job outside the hospital/nursing home. Any suggestions?

   MissPinkrnbsn replied to suzi0612's topic in New Nurse

   Maybe look into doctor offices/clinics. Hours are usually Monday thru Friday and some of them welcome new grads. I'm going in for an interview at a family/internal medicine clinic in the next week. I'm a new grad RN and haven't had much luck yet but...

   MissPinkrnbsn replied to snowboardjunkkie's topic in New Nurse

   Ha! That is so crazy! I lived in Savannah! What a small world! My family moved there shortly after I graduated from college so I still get to go down and visit my old friends I worked and I always go out to Tybee Island to lay out on the beach! I ac...

6. Frustrations of finding a job

   MissPinkrnbsn replied to snowboardjunkkie's topic in New Nurse

   Wow, I don't think I could stay up that late staring at my computer screen. I usually have to step away at intervals and do something like workout or go outdoors. It is all about timing though, it will happen! Hopefully you will hear back from one o...

   Thanks! I'll definitely take what I can find! They've posted on jobing.com, indeed, careerbuilder, and craigslist. They have numerous postings for locations all over my state. I think there are some staffing agencies that also do flu shot clinics. I ...

    MissPinkrnbsn replied to snowboardjunkkie's topic in New Nurse

    Have you seen any jobs listed for seasonal flu clinics in your area? I've also been applying for a while and haven't had much luck as well. I applied for a flu clinic in my area and got the position. Its temp work, but at least it's something while i...

11. Is it me...or is it impossible to get an interview and a job in NJ! :(

    MissPinkrnbsn replied to KittyinNj's topic in New Jersey

    Give it time. I'm in the same situation right now too. Been applying for a month and just took a temp position the other day for a flu clinic. It's definitely a start and at least gives me something while i'm continuing the search!!!

    I know how you feel because I'm also in the same situation. Have you looked at doing flu clinics? Looks like a lot of postings are showing up depending on where you're located. That's always something to do in the meantime.

    I'm in the same situation you're in as well. I'm in an area that's pretty saturated with new grads and all but I keep pushing forward with searching, applying, calling around and networking. It can at times feel so depressing but I know when it's my ...

    MissPinkrnbsn replied to Short-Stuff 23's topic in NCLEX

    My school paid for us to sit in at the Hurst review when it came to our city. After I graduated, I paid the fee for the online portion and listened and went through the entire lecture with the workbook we were given. I did this and used the disk from...
