    Yuma Regional Medical Center?

    WildcatFanRN replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    That's what I'm considering doing regardless of where I end up, unless I end up really liking the area. Since I'm hoping for NICU I was told to check back in Jan. Well, its now January :-) What...

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

    a New Year's Resolution

    WildcatFanRN posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I might be a few days early. My New Year's Resolution is to keep trying to get that first RN job that has so eluded a lot of us. I've re-re-re-tweaked my resume and have started applying to places...

    Can't Find a job!!! This wasn't supposed to be this hard!

    WildcatFanRN replied to Frustrated in Cle's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm in KY and I'm running into the same problem of lots of RN jobs, but hardly any for new grads. I too am considering relocating if the one (that's right one) interview I managed to get doesn't pan...

    Any New Grads finding it hard to find a job here in KY?

    WildcatFanRN replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in General Nursing

    Very true. KY doesn't need nurses per se, but they do need the older nurses to precept us new ones. That's what KY is short in. I had an interview yesterday and the nurse recruiter mentioned that...

    Yuma Regional Medical Center?

    WildcatFanRN replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    [ Another thing about Yuma Regional Medical Center. The Federal government declared Yuma a critical shortage area for healthcare workers. This means if you go through a bunch of hoops and apply, you...

    Recession Getting Worse

    WildcatFanRN replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    The sad part is for us new grads, now its hard to find a job. Places that used to be welcoming to new grads have frozen all hiring. A lot of the places I've applied to say they will be hiring again...

    Has anyone graduated from Galen College Lvn to Rn program

    WildcatFanRN replied to olister's topic in Nursing Career

    Hi, I graduated from the Galen program in KY. I liked it. Some of my classmates didn't, but that happens in any school. Most were expecting to learn something entirely different than what they...

    Yuma Regional Medical Center?

    WildcatFanRN replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I haven't heard much good about Yuma which is strange. I have applied for a few jobs in Phoenix, but most seem to not be hiring new grads right

    The ANA really doesn't like non-BSN Nurses

    WildcatFanRN replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The sad part is, a lot of us went to get our ADN because we were tired of not being considered a "real" nurse despite the fact many RN's I knew considered me to be. Now I get my ADN and find that...

    ***** Am I doing something wrong?

    WildcatFanRN replied to wabashcannon's topic in General Nursing

    Your not alone, trust me. There are a lot of us on here in the same boat. I graduated in May, passed boards in October and still nothing. I had a brief job in September but it wasn't to be. Check...

    The ANA really doesn't like non-BSN Nurses

    WildcatFanRN replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I've noticed in my job hunting that a lot of the magnet hospitals are going to BSN preferred in hiring. I've even found several "New Grad RN" residencies that are only open to BSN grads. Not to bash...

    Talking to your neonate patients

    WildcatFanRN replied to Journey_On's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    The little time I got to work with them, I did talk. Mainly trying to get said kiddo to cooperate with me just a wee bit. I swear they knew I was new as the diaper change was a fight sometimes....

    Level 2 and Level 2EQ

    WildcatFanRN posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    This might sound silly, but what is the difference between a level 2 NICU and a Level 2 EQ? In my job searching I have found units with this and have been wondering what it means. I know level 2...

    Level 2 and Level 2EQ

    WildcatFanRN replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Thanks. That does help. I looked up online and I guess level 2EQ is out west mainly. AZ says EQ is enhanced quality, whatever the heck that

    Co Worker and snide comments

    WildcatFanRN replied to Jaybird310's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've been following this thread today. I wish I had your fortitude at a job I had several years back. I resigned before I could blow up on the woman, and since she was my charge nurse I'd have been...

    WildcatFanRN replied to Snowii's topic in General Nursing

    Of course all this is probably moot since I'm still jobless. No job=no

    New grad fired, need much encouragement!

    WildcatFanRN replied to jennykaye's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Its amazing how many of us have had similar situations with our first RN job. I too am wondering if I'll even get an interview since I was "terminated" as "failed orientation". Most employers will...
