   New Grad Programs - Do they not tell you what shift you work?

   Hopeful RN replied to newnursewhodiis's topic in New Nurse

   Sounds crazy right? I accepted a residency and was told that I wouldn't know the shift till I started. They said it was most likely nights, but they're not sure yet because they're still hiring people and trying to get things in order. They did ask m...

   Congratulations! That's awesome! I applied months ago, received notification that I was eligible, but never heard from them again. ☹️ The benefits are great! Good luck!

   Thanks for the info! I'm learning so much about residencies. So thankful for all of the info on this site from all of you who are already in the field. I would like to avoid a residency if possible, but we shall see. Thanks again!

   New Grad Fired From First RN Job After 90 Days

   Hopeful RN replied to ChinupNewRN21's topic in New Nurse

   I agree, but in my case, I would have to pay even if I fulfill the 2-year contract at the hospital. If I stay 1 year, 2 years, or 1 day, I have to pay.

   New Grad Fired From First RN Job After 90 Days

   Hopeful RN replied to ChinupNewRN21's topic in New Nurse

   Right?! It didn't matter if I stayed the whole 2 years or if I left prior, I was going to pay regardless. It sounds crazy to me to have to pay to get a job. Needless to say, I didn't accept it. 😣

    K. Everly, Thank you so much for the feedback! It just confirms some of the things that I had been questioning about this whole thing. They must have a high turnover! You have no idea how much appreciate you especially since I'm new at this. ☺️...

    Help searching for outpatient care position

    Hopeful RN posted a topic in New Nurse

    I'm a new RN and would love tips on searching for outpatient care positions. I learned early on that I didn't like bedside nursing for different reasons. It's so easy to find job posting for residencies and acute care jobs, but I'm having a hard time...
