Hi all! I need some help! I received my RN license last January(2010) and have been working for a home health agency since then, but the problem is that I would like to get into the hospital and they tell me that I need a year of hospital experience,...

Nope, No Luck! I have a similar story and I have been trying to get int the hospital and can't. I have been working as a Home health nurse (because that was the only job I could get) for a yr and still no luck in getting a hospital job. I have been t...

It's not everyday us nurses come across great opportunities. I've had my license since January and I have been having a hard time getting into any hospital let alone two job offers. I currently work as a Home health RN and I have been capped in pay s...

So yea no I am not where I want to be. I got my RN license Jan 2010, currently working for a home health agency, no benefits, PRN. It pays some of the bills, but I really want to be working in a hospital on a L&D unit. Right now any position in t...

Hi All, I am a new RN who really wants to become a L&D nurse, eventually a NP for Women's care. I am having a problem with getting a hospital job let alone into L&D. Are there any suggestions how I go about doing this? I will do whatever it t...

Thanks for all of the advice guys. I would definately take any hospital job right now! I guess it just isn't my turn yet, hopefully I get a turn soon though. I need the experience as I mentioned I am working for home health and hospitals don't really...

Hi all just wondering if there is any news on any new RN positions at Florida Hospital or Orlando Health. I have looked at both websites and have yet to see anything. I have been working as a RN here in Tampa, FL but its home health. I have been an R...

Hi Daisykip, I passed the Nclex and I was only making around the 60-70% range, the key is read the rationale for the right and wrong answers so you can understand why are you answering the way you are. That's what helped me, Good Luck hope you pass!

Hi All, if you don't mind me asking where did you guys relocate to? I too am a "New RN" not so much new grad because I graduated in 2007 but I just got my license in Jan. I landed a home health position here in Tampa, FL but I haven't been able to ge...

Thanks! I studied about 3 months, because I didn't want to over study so I didn't start studying hard until i got my att, which was in october so I had until Jan 21 to take the test and I didn't schedule the test til Jan 20! I used Saunders 4th ed to...

Also Baycare Health Systems is having a job fair on Thursday, March 18! Nurse Spectrum is great!

Yes you are so right! We have to network with as many people as we can, sometimes it is not what you know but who you know that will get you the position you so desire. I hope all of those who are looking finds something real soon! Latoya

Thanks I will definitely check this list out.

I am in Tampa, FL and I have applied to all the hospitals here and nothing, they all want a year experience unless you go into there internships, however they are only offered maybe twice a year so very competitive and so that means not until May wil...

I know guys this is a hard pill to swallow! I just got my RN license in January and I have been going through the same things. I finally got a position at PSA Healthcare which is home health, I think it is cool but you know you want to have that hosp...

Hi all, just was wondering what other schools did you look into before going with Chamberlain. I am a RN and have my ASN and eventually want to get my NP, but one step at a time LOL! I have been talking with the admissions director for the last coupl...

Congrats! Where in Florida are you? I am here too just got my license in Jan and still looking for work!

Don't get discouraged! I don't know if you are a spiritual person or not but I can tell you what helped me pass my 3rd time was the fact that I decided that it was no longer me in control of my situation. With that being said we all say we believe in...

I would have to say that this is a pretty good score. I scored around the 72-75 area and I passed the nclex last week. So you got a pretty good chance! Just make sure you know prioritization and infection control because I got a lot of those question...

WOW thanks! You never know until you talk to people........Any agencies you know of accepting new grads? Well i guess I will keep praying and asking GOD to lead and direct me and i know i will find something soon. Thanks for any info you have!

Wow this seems surreal you know! You here while in nursing school that there is such a nursing shortage but to find out that they can still pick and choose what kind of nurses they want. It is pretty funny and sometimes depressing, but i read another...

I feel your pain! I just got my RN license this month and have been trying to get a job too! I called around the hospitals and was told that the new RN internships have already started in jan so the next one is not until may. I am like man i hope i d...

When did you apply? I am a new RN looking for work but all the hospitals seemed to have hired all the new RNs already I guess I am a little late. They are telling me that the new internships don't start til May. Let me know what info you have please!...

yea at this point you should be ready. one thing i know you shouldn't second guess yourself. They say don't read to much into the question take it at face value! I just passed last week and I got lots of questions regarding priority and delegation an...

HI I just took my test last week wednesday and passed! I used Saunders mostly and I passed with 75 questions. I am not too sure on how Kaplan testing questions work but I do know that my test had a lot of priority and infection control like questions...
