3. Westchester Medical Center

   RNRAC replied to 987!'s topic in New York

   Well probably cause you are hired to work for less than 32 hours. If you work overtime or whatever that's your choice, we don't really have a mandatory overtime law. So even if you work 40 hours you were only hired for less than full time. I think th...

6. Choosing a preceptorship

   RNRAC replied to alr25's topic in Job Hunt

   Not necessarily (any experience is good experience really) but it will be nice to have a peds preceptorship to gain some good contacts for when you start looking for that first position!

9. What's wrong with my resume?

   RNRAC replied to Aeterna's topic in Job Hunt

   Actually, I am pretty sure that if you are working already as an R.N. after you finish your license, then you put work before education. After awhile people are more interested in where you worked rather than where you went to school. So that part is...

10. What the chances are for a new grad with a English as Second language to get hired?

    RNRAC replied to kindlylili's topic in Job Hunt

    Also keep in mind that if English isnt your first language, presumably you are bilingual, which, depending where you live can be a HUGE plus. Play that up-let them know that you are fluent verbally and with written language in your native language. F...

12. Recruiter hasn't called me back =(

    RNRAC replied to FilledWLove's topic in Job Hunt

    Just a thought...when you call every day or whatever DONT leave a message. If she picks up, great, if not....leaving a bunch of messages that have the same content will seem a little odd. You left one message, thats good. Dont leave one every time yo...

13. How do you cope with looking "too young" to be a nurse?

    RNRAC replied to LaceyRN12's topic in Relations

    Glad I am not the only one that has this issue! I dont actually have a job yet, but clinicals were always fun :) alot of the older patients always assumed I was a candy striper or a high school volunteer...

14. New grad struggling with receiving/giving report

    RNRAC replied to dann023's topic in New Nurse

    Hey...I am a new grad, still looking for a job so I cant say I really know what you are going through...but I do remember a nursing mentor telling me that I should try to give and take report as much as possible while i was on preceptorship, because ...

15. Question to all Nurse Recruiters/Hiring Nurse Managers out there

    RNRAC posted a topic in New Nurse

    This isn't actually a plea for jobs (although sometimes I think that might be just as effective as what I have been doing so far ) but more of a procedural question... I am a new graduate living in a hard to find a new grad job area. I had an intervi...
