1. Sick of hearing there are NO jobs?!

   rnofsunshine replied to Royal_RN's topic in General Nursing

   OP, I’m really glad you had an easy time finding a job! That’s good to hear, but as a recent new grad who finally just landed a job, sometimes there is a “no jobs.” I’m not sure where you’re located, but where I live, every New Grad Residency I appli...

2. New Grad Indecision

   For anyone wanting an update, I actually kept on waiting and waiting because no job felt right and got offered (and accepted) my dream job in NICU! Thank you all for your helpful words! ~ RN of Sunshine

   rnofsunshine replied to rnofsunshine's topic in General Nursing

   This isn’t the only hospital I’ve applied to. I’ve applied to like 7. I haven’t been offered the LTAC job yet. The reason I’m worried is wanting to get into NP school within 2 years of working full time. So whatever job I take now may very well be my...

   I honestly don’t know what I would do if I didn’t get the residency. They do it 3x a year, in Jan, June, and Sept. So I honestly don’t really know. It’s in a community hospital and in their June cohort they took 32 NGs. I’m not sure how competitive i...

   Hi there! I could use a bit of advice as a new grad. I shadowed a position in an LTAC today and was a bit disappointed, but it is the only job that has interviewed me since the end of April. My state was hit pretty hard with COVID-19, and I just got ...
