Hi I'm working as a nurse intern right now which is unpaid it could last 8-12 weeks and I'm pulling a full time shift with my preceptor. In the meantime I've decided to apply to open positions at other hospitals and use this as experience because it's the only floor experience I have. I'm curious to know if anyone found a job in NYC using a nurse internship as their experience on their resume. Thank u

What type of job would you be looking for?
I'm a registered nurse I've been searching for a job a as a nurse but had no luck so I decided to apply to a nurse intern position which is actually going really well. But I'm curious to know if anyone got a job as an rn with experience as a nurse intern on their resume in NYC.

Any experience is better than no experience....
unfortunately you live work in an area, that does not have nurse shortage, regardless of what nursing schools tell you...
my sugestion, look rural, or LTC.... Not ideal, but may be a paycheck, beginning to acquire experience
It's quite strange that a you, as a licensed nurse, is doing an unpaid internship.... Something's not adding up.
Yea I said I have had no luck finding a job and an internship even unpaid is better than no experience at all.
