  1. Frustrated NY new grad

    JeanettePNP replied to aye125RN's topic in New York Nursing

    Yeah, it's frustrating, but I can't say it was unexpected. There are hundreds of applicants for every position so hospitals are in a position that they don't have to hire new grads. It's not much...

  2. Getting stuck in a career path you don't want

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is a common fear expressed by new grads, and I'd like to know how close to reality it is. Tight job market, so you accept whatever job you can get, just to have a job and gain experience. A year...

  3. Did anyone hate nursing school?

    JeanettePNP replied to FNPhopeful's topic in First Year After Licensure

    No, I didn't hate nursing school. It was a lot easier than I expected it to be. In a way I felt shortchanged that I didn't get as much opportunity as I would have liked to build my skills. ON the...

  4. Did you love your RN-BSN research paper? What was it on?

    JeanettePNP replied to PiedPiperRN's topic in General Students

    I wrote one paper on futile care, different opinions on what constitutes futile care and how to facilitate communication between healthcare providers and family members regarding end of life issues....

  5. If you go to the ER or doctor's office, do you tell them you're a nurse?

    JeanettePNP replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I had to take my kid to the ER, and I chose to go to the same ER where I was doing my clinicals, and where my clinical instructor is the head nurse. Otherwise, I don't mention it unless there's some...

  6. Customizing your cover letters

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Two votes so far for "don't waste time with cover letters." Anyone else want to weigh

  7. Relocating for nursing job

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Have you relocated in search of a nursing job opportunity? From where to

  8. How do you get A's in Nursing School?

    JeanettePNP replied to Darkpk55's topic in General Students

    First of all, there is room between "not failing" and "getting A's." Maybe setting all A's as your goal will just cause anxiety and get in the way of your performance. How about making it your goal to...

  9. Customizing your cover letters

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Many places won't even let you in the door... especially when you are a new

  10. Types of volunteering for new grads

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    While we're waiting for that elusive first offer, what are some good volunteer positions for new grads? I realize that a new grad won't find many volunteer positions that actually require RN skills...

  11. Types of volunteering for new grads

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Nobody else wants to tackle this one? Okay, I'll start. I started volunteering once a week in a long-term facility for children with multiple handicaps. Many of them get very little stimulation...

  12. Customizing your cover letters

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That's great! You got interviews without cover letters at all? I'm trying to do everything "right" in my application process and scared that skipping a step might cost me a job. Right now my cover...

  13. Relocating for nursing job

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I really underestimated how tough it was out there for new grads... it is tough ACROSS THE COUNTRY. There really is no place where a new grad can easily find work, even in more rural areas. I am...

  14. Customizing your cover letters

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yes, it's all very time consuming. I just wish I had some way of knowing whether any of this time and effort was paying off... I send off online applications and get no feedback whatsoever. At this...

  15. Questions for New Grads

    JeanettePNP replied to lifelearningrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    i think a question that should be added is, 'where are you looking/where did you find a job" so we can get an idea of which areas of the country are hiring. i'm in nyc, if that

  16. Help! Does anyone work at NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases?

    JeanettePNP replied to mochamocha's topic in New York Nursing

    Bluemonday, what did you say to her specifically that made her offer you to take the exam? I was at the job fair and nobody expressed interest at all beyond "I'll take your resume and let you know...

  17. Does Upper Management Even Have a Clue?

    JeanettePNP replied to Teamlangston's topic in Emergency

    I'm sorry you're having a rough time with your preceptors. Probably not what you want to hear, but count your blessings that you got in. Suck it up for however long it takes for you to build your...

  18. Question for computer savvy

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I scanned my transcript and letters of recommendation into the computer and saved them as .pdf's. When I try to upload them during the online application process, I get an error message that I...

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks. I think I'll have to email then instead of uploading

  20. is a BSN going to soon be required?

    JeanettePNP replied to JeniRN's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, hiring for LPN's is picking up around here. Why not, let them do the work for half the

  21. is a BSN going to soon be required?

    JeanettePNP replied to JeniRN's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe it hasn't happened yet de jure, and maybe it never will, but it already is happening de facto. Any aspiring nurse who only gets an ADN is limiting him/herself in career opportunities. Forget all...

  22. chemistry question

    JeanettePNP replied to emsimes's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Chem in high school and I found Chem 101 to be pretty much a repeat. I had been out of hs for almost 20 years when I took the class but it pretty much all came back. If you never took chem...

  23. Graduating from 'Pre-Nursing' Student Forum!

    JeanettePNP replied to iPink's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Lotsa luck! And good for you for sticking around on the pre-nursing forum to help other nurses along the

  24. is a BSN going to soon be required?

    JeanettePNP replied to JeniRN's topic in General Nursing

    Most hospitals in NYC already require a BSN. I don't know about other states. Right now there is a huge oversupply of nurses so they can afford to be picky. However, an experienced ADN will get a job...

  25. New Grads - some good news for jobs in NYC area

    JeanettePNP replied to Guest27531's topic in New York Nursing

    Yes, you're right, I'm a notorious pessimist. On the one hand, the nurse recruiters from some of the big-name, desirable hospitals did seem genuinely friendly and took the time to read my resume on...
