    New Grad RN Can’t Find Job

    New Grad RN Can’t Find Job

    Hoosier_RN replied to Stcloudmnnurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think that you don't know what you don't know. I've been a RN for many years, almost 30. Up until covid, most travel companies would not look at a candidate without at least 1-2 years experience,...

    And in most states, there are skills, tasks, etc, that LPNs are not allowed to do, that an RN is. A brand new BSN (or ASN) hasn't done them either, hence needing experience, and the facility's/travel...

    New Grad RN Can’t Find Job

    Hoosier_RN replied to Stcloudmnnurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm not sure what you're getting at, but most new nurses cannot provide the same level of care as an experienced nurse. Nursing school teaches the basics, NCLEX tests for basic competency. When you...

    Nurses are waiting months for licenses as hospital staffing shortages spread

    Hoosier_RN replied to chare's topic in Nursing News

    Most in Indiana know within a few days to 2 weeks. I applied for compact licensure (early November of '21) , I kept checking and checking, not posted. Told to check back after holidays. Called...

    Previous Jobs Not Giving Out References

    Hoosier_RN replied to Googlenurse's topic in General Nursing

    Legally, an employer, former or current, can say anything that they wish about you, as long as it is factual: Reference caller: so does Hoosier miss a lot of work days? Employer: reviewing...

    Hospice Patient’s Family Refusing Hospice Cares

    I haven't worked in a hospital in years, or I would. In our dialysis clinic, issues like this go to our clinic manager or regional clinic manager. Luckily, my CM handles these issues

    New Nurse After 7 Years of Attempting NCLEX

    Hoosier_RN replied to ChristinaGM's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Don't go with the home health fresh out of school. They promise low acuity, but what if they don't have it? Take the intermediate care unit and you'll get your skills. Congrats and good

    We hope, but we all know, especially in the recent political scene, that it's not necessarily true. This is why I don't trust much of anything coming out of DC anymore, about anyone in politics. It...
