Try flu shot nurse. google that. Also, camp nurse too.

Hello, I have been in your shoes. I got my RN lic in Feb and desperately looked for a job. I had no experience as a new nurse, and all jobs want at least 1 year experience. So... I signed up for the flu clinic/ per diem position oh! and medical utilization review nurse position. Next I applied for camp nurse position that was very low pay. This gave me experience and something to put on my resume. JUNE STARTED CAMP NURSE POSITION... Next,... psychiatric home health nurses seem to be in abundance out here in Georgia and I started working as a psychiatric nurse in AUGUST. ... OH!! and I have been offered a few positions doing the same thing for other agencies! I love psychiatric... I was just recently offered a wound care nursing position per diem... and they are going to train me! NOW keep in mind psych nurse pays 2x more than wound care. THAT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE I WANT THE EXPERIENCE. I AM SO GRATEFUL AND HAPPY TO HAVE BEEN OFFERED THIS POSITION. Keep ur head up!!!... sign up for temp jobs like med records review and flu clinics they will pretty much hire you over the phone and immediately.

I was in your shoes before.... AND I finally passed! What did it for me was studying KAPLAN... and Hurst Review! I did at least 200 questions a day! I stopped working and going out. I did this for about 2 months before i seen results! email me at [email protected]

Me too,,, New nurse and need help with psych documentation BIRP. there has to be a website or book or so, something! So what was the outcome>

I can give you pointers... I have been in your boat a couple of times. Email me at [email protected] I will share with u what helped me.

Okay ... I have some experience with this. I graduated in 2003 and just got my lic in march. The best route for you go is refresher / re-entry and then hopefully get a job where you are doing ur clinicals. I cant afford this route because the class is 3 months long and I dont have 1500-3000 dollars in my pockect. I am trying to get the money but cant right now! I know I will be a great nurse cus thats all I have done all my life is care for family memebers, but I cant find a job because now one hires "NEW NURSES" So good luck did u pass ur boards?

how did you explain the 4 yr gap from school and nclex. I am having the same problem. I grad in 12/2003 and passed my NCLEX in 2/2010 passed with 75 ques and I also took kaplan

yeah... I was the mother of a child that died... I remember it all just like you explained it... the little foot dangling and paramedics running in, you explained it all to the Tee. ... I remember it just like yesterday... I am a nurse now... THANK YOU for al the work you do

Thanks everyone for ur responses. I will definitely check out waterbury and I have already researched the Nursing Homes as a back up. I am working on my resume also, i will have someone look it over. but what do you say when they ask you, "why did it take you so long to work.... or pass the NCLEX? or what ever? 7 yrs... any ideas:idea:?

i cut and paste this message that i just posted to another persons blog so please forgive me me i just didnt want to write the same thing over again. okay first , i want to say i have been in ur shoes. i have been out of school since dec 2003. i failed 4x's before i actually passed with 75 questions. like you i used hurst and kaplan along with saunders. hurst for content and kaplan for nclex style questions. i thought i was studying in the past but i wasnt. i want to ask u first is did u finish the qbank? and how did u do? how many other nclex style questions did u do a day? this is what i did for 3 months. i did at leaste 100-200 questions a day. every day!... i did so many questions that i idid qbank 1 and 1/2 times. i also uses saunders and sometimes i used exam cram. now what i did different this last time is... is that i did questions every day faithfully, every now and then i take a day off, but i did my questions. people think they are studying when they crack a book open and do 50 questions here and there, but they're not. big mistake... so dont stop studying ... its hard at first but the more you do it the quicker it gets and the more you learn. so that is my advice. have any questions email me at [email protected] hope this helps!!!!! .... you will soon pass this nclex and be a nurse like me...
