New Grad Jobs? Tx? Anywhere?

allnurses Guide · Aug 21, 2012

You mean you graduated in Dec. 2011, not 2010?
Depending on what states (i.e., CA) you're looking at, you're considered a "new grad" up to the 12th month after your graduation date and applications are restricted to those dates that they will look at. Some also have zero RN experience to be accepted, some up to 6 mo or less, some less than 1 year.
CA for example also has a 43-48% unemployment rate for new grads, cited in the CA BON 2011 nursing survey.

I never said anything about the CA BON, as it has nothing to do with the CA BON at all.

Perhaps you can see the source of confusion on the part of the reader?

Your post gave the impression that the state, rather than the facility, determined what the time limit was. I asked you to clarify that so other people reading this thread wouldn't make any decisions under the assumption that the states determine that.

All of your examples are just details of various facility requirements. I've never said there was no difference there. The point is not the length of time, it's whether or not the state has any official determination of that length of time.

Scott and White in Temple does usually have positions open and will hire new grads with a BSN. Metroplex in Killeen will hire new ADN grads if you work as a nurse tech. I've heard Scott and White is a really good hospital to work for.

Scott and White hires ADNs. I am a diploma grad and they hired me into the ICU internship.

Do you know what hospitals are hiring in less desirable areas of TX? Or link to find them?

Try Scott and White Memorial Hospital in Temple Texas, a lot of my friends got a job there as a new grad. I applied but they transferred my application to the ICU and the ICU weren't hiring So i didn't get hired there but I applied to North Dakota and got a job :)
