   Imeanreally replied to ChrissybRN's topic in Pennsylvania

   Old old old thread, but just a shot in the dark to see how the refresher programs went and if they helped you get a job. I graduated 3.5 years ago but was offered a promotion at my current job having nothing to do with healthcare and am really start...

2. No experience, out of school 3.5 years

   Imeanreally replied to Imeanreally's topic in Job Hunt

   Unfortunately my wife and I just purchased a new home only 3 months ago. Moving now would be a huge financial hit just from the Realtor commissions and isn't realistic. I spoke to my Board of Nursing and they said getting back to an active status s...

   I'm going to call first thing Tuesday (already too late today and I imagine everywhere is closed Monday). And I'm going to start the process of getting my license reactivated. Then I'm going to send my resume to every LTC, Rehab and Dr office in a ...

   I graduate from a 4 year BSN program and passed my boards about 3.5 years ago, I put my license in "inactive" status last year. My current job made me a great offer to stay on board which I took (non-heath related). I've regretted it ever since. I...

7. Help with job options, shot self in foot

   Imeanreally replied to Imeanreally's topic in General Nursing

   I put my license in "inactive" status last year. I called the NJ nursing board and they said getting it back to "active" wouldn't be very hard. I guess I really just need to find someone willing to see that I'm worth the investment. Being 100% hon...

12. Refesher course or ?

    Imeanreally posted a topic in General Nursing

    I graduated 3 years ago but put nursing on the back burner when my current job made a competitive offer and asked me to stay on (not nursing). Business is still good, but I've always wanted to do something in nursing, and can't shake this feeling of...

    Imeanreally posted a topic in General Nursing

    I graduated from a BSN program about 2 years ago. I was offered a partnership at the small company I was working with at the time with a competitive salary to stay. I decided to put nursing on the back burner, I've now been with my current company ...

15. What can I do with my degree?

    Imeanreally posted a topic in Entrepreneurs

    When I started nursing school I got involved with a start-up company having nothing to do with nursing. The company has since grown and financially I make a good deal more than I would as a nurse. Now 2 years after graduating, business is still goo...
