Moved to First Year After Nursing Licensure
Hey everyone! I recently graduated in June and have my RN. Still no job although I am looking. I currently in my first class at University of Phoenix, RN to BSN. I am worried about losing my skills or knowledge in the time of waiting. Anyone have any advice on how to stay up on everything? Also, charting has never been my strong suit. Any advice on books or anything to help with charting?
Welcome to the life of the unemployed new grad. I graduated in 2011 and have still yet to secure a job in this tough market.
Regarding the skills/knowledge, what I've read is to make sure your certs are up to date (BLS, ACLS, etc). Read/take CEU courses. Keep using your nursing textbooks from RN and now BSN school. As to the actual nursing skills, there are refresher courses that you can pay to attend.
Good luck!
