I would check out Bayada!

Hahahaha that seems like the best idea

So I need some help determining how bad of a situation this is. I'm a new nurse and I just got a job in the OR of a hospital. I took it right away because I know OR positions are hard to get as a new grad. I've been in orientation for about 2 weeks and it seems like every day I learn something new about the hospital that is quite disturbing. Here's what I know so far: they have a bat issue so bad that they have a policy on what to do if there is a bat in a room. I've seen 3 cockroaches so far and there is a horrible mold issue in the locker room. A couple of days ago, a huge pool of water broke through the ceiling and completely soaked a nurse on her computer. There was a fire in an elevator and they haven't fixed it months later. Then today, I also found out they stopped doing plastic surgery because there was an issue with sterility of certain implants (not sure the details, but something regarding the water in the building) and patients were getting gnarly infections. This seems very unsafe for both patients and staff. The staff are very standoffish to newbies, so that's not helping either. I just wanted to get some opinions on how bad this is/what I should do. Thank you!!

Just got an email that I was rejected LOL

OMG!! The exact same thing happened to me with CHOP. Have you had any luck getting interviews?

I haven't heard yet! I was waitlisted and they said they would have a final decision by November 1st. Being a new grad right now sucks haha

Yeah I have my BSN. Yikes! I have an interview with Thomas Jefferson this week so I'm hoping it works out

Thank you! Hopefully something happens soon before I'm basically homeless

Top 3 were L&D, Peds and OR (probably the most popular ones haha). What about you?

Ugh OMG that’s so frustrating. I still haven’t heard, but I don’t think it’s looking good hahaha

I also got waitlisted and was wondering the same thing. Keep me posted if you hear anything!

So I graduated school in South Carolina in May and am currently waiting for the PA Nursing Board to transfer my RN license from SC to PA. I do however, have a Temporary Practice Permit. I was wondering if any other new grads are struggling with finding a job right now as well. I graduated with a 4.0 and have hospital experience, so I'm not sure what's going on here and if it's because of COVID? I'm extremely frustrated and am curious about other's situations.
