Hey all! I just passed my NCLEX-RN last week, glad to have that part of my life in the past, but am now facing my next nerve-wracking step in life (albeit much more exciting). I haven't applied for any kind of new job in about seven years, so I'm fairly new to the whole career-search thing.
A little backstory, I graduated nursing school in the Spring of 2013, and after failing my NCLEX-RN twice, I took a full-time position in the company I already worked for. Realizing that was not how I wanted my life to go, I decided to return to my original passion of nursing, buckled down and passed my NCLEX!
I've been looking at different job posting websites and different hospitals in my area, and I've noticed that many positions require something between a year to two years experience. This scares me! I'm not picky and ideally would work in any field to get myself going, my only stipulation being that I want a fulltime position.
I also have no clue what to include on my resume.... Looking for any insight that I can use to help write it or what to include, and also ideas for where I can apply.
And shot in the dark.... I'm licensed in Connecticut if anyone from there sees this and can offer me advice.
Thank you very much!
