  1. To the unemployed new grads... what ARE you doing?

    Black Jade replied to BigB_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    When I went to one of the job fairs, I was told by one of the Kaiser recruiters that they will not have New Grad hospital positions until another year and a half. If you want to work at a Kaiser...

  2. Is the universe trying to tell me something????

    Black Jade replied to RN2B12's topic in General Nursing

    Regarding: The first school-Is it 'any' classes or just your pre-req's? If it's 'any', then take a PE class or something easy to justify that you did take a class at their school. The second...

    Black Jade replied to Black Jade's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, I mean a temp agency. I went on a job fair and I had an interview where they asked me a lot of questions. I do not recall if they asked me if I had any experience which I do have. It's an...

  6. To the unemployed new grads... what ARE you doing?

    Black Jade replied to BigB_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You reminded me of an interview I had a long time ago that happened to fall in Halloween. The staff was having a costume constest and one of my interviewers took part in it. She had on a fruit...

  7. To the unemployed new grads... what ARE you doing?

    Black Jade replied to BigB_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Funny, I was going to post the same question. I am not a New Grad, but feel like one since I haven't worked in a hospital before. I quit my job recently after two years of working there....

  8. What is the least amount you would work for as a RN?

    Black Jade replied to K.Jamison, RN's topic in General Nursing

    The fact that the administrator sounds desperate and the nurse demoted himself to program assistant are red flags. I wouldn't mind working $12/hr doing something else, but not as a nurse due to the...

  10. What is the least amount you would work for as a RN?

    Black Jade replied to K.Jamison, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I know it's difficult finding a job, but can you research RN salaries in your area to compare against them? Maybe you can negotiate by saying other places pay more than they do for the same position....

  11. Will Bad Credit Effect Job Opportunities?

    Black Jade replied to jaydani's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it will affect your job opportunities, but it will affect if you want to rent an apartment or buy a car, etc... Are you able to work full-time until Fall? Maybe you can work per diem...

  12. What is the least amount you would work for as a RN?

    Black Jade replied to K.Jamison, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Like the other posts, it depends on the location, cost of living and experience. But it also varies on the kind of work you will be doing as an RN. I made $12/hr when I used to work as a Medical...

    Black Jade posted a topic in General Nursing

    ...but state you don't know anybody and come to allnurses.com... I'm curious, what would you do if this website didn't existed? When I was in nursing school, I used allnurses.com and other nursing...

  17. Students requesting help with HW and interviewing a nurse for HW purposes

    Black Jade replied to Black Jade's topic in General Nursing

    I think some of you missed my point. For those of you who agree with me, Kudos to you. My question was, what if there was no internet, no allnurses.com WHAT WOULD YOU DO THEN? Some of you made...

  18. I am lucky...but I'm still very disappointed ::sighs::

    Black Jade replied to Serrano2886's topic in General Nursing

    Other New Grads or Nurses in general will die to have your position in this current economy. A nurse is a nurse. Just be happy and consider yourself lucky that you were hired among other potential...

  19. I am lucky...but I'm still very disappointed ::sighs::

    Black Jade replied to Serrano2886's topic in General Nursing

    I got hired to work in a Telemetry floor where I did my preceptorship working the night shift right before I graduated. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) I lost that position because I didn't passed my...

  20. What's your personality like?

    Black Jade posted a topic in General Nursing

    How would you describe yourself? Sometimes I wonder if I went into the wrong profession due to my personality. I did not get into this profession for the money (as long as I can earn a decent living...

  21. Did everyone flunk their college writing courses?

    Black Jade replied to AZO49008's topic in General Nursing

    How many here can say English is their first language? In my case, Spanish is my first language. That doesn't mean that I don't care how I write. If I don't know how to spell a certain word, I try...

    Black Jade replied to MHSA LPN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thank you for being a great advocate to this patient and for sharing your story. When I was in my first semester of nursing, we were shadowing LVNs in the LTC. We never saw RNs on the floor. I had...
