Newbie Student Nurse!! Almost finished.

Published

Hi everyone! I am in my last year of nursing school. (I graduate Oct. 2016 with a BSN). I am trying to find a bit of guidance and direction.

Stats

  • 3.3 GPA (I'm hoping I can make it to 3.5 in my last 3 terms remaining)
  • 3 Letters of Rec so far from clinical and theory instructors
  • Volunteering at Kaiser in NICU Office Support (Not directly with patients)
  • No previous hospital experience.
  • Will be 21 when graduating. (Young.)
  • Southern California Resident

I want to get into a New Grad program and hopefully be hired in the NICU or PEDS ER. I ended up loving pediatrics. I enjoy adult ICU also.

My questions are:

  • How can I improve my resume? Having no prior hospital experience worries me.
  • Should I get a job in home health for experience?
  • What New Grad programs do you believe are the best, teaching wise?
  • What are common New Grad interview questions?
  • Will my young age affect my chances of being hired?

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to send PM!

Thanks everyone!
