deliverator I am looking at this as an option. I was active duty army for a few years then switched to the reserves. Once I got into a nursing program the rules changed on military nurses having to get the BSN in order to serve. Right now it is my goal to get my degree and want to serve my country either through serving again or by working in at the military clinic. Thanks for your reccommendations:nurse:

I am in the same boat. I graduated in May 2009 got licensed in July 2009. I had a baby Sep 2009 and moved out of state to be with my husband who is in the ARMY. Needless to say because of the ARMY life i have not been able to land a job. We moved 3 times within me graduating from school. I haven't been able to land a job so I decided to go back to get my BSN. I am more than half way done. I pray that when I finish up my BSN and take a refresher course and get ACLS certified I will be able to finally land a job. I am doing the flu clinics but I want to do more. I would not mind volunteering or doing LTC or even hospice. I get want some experience. And for the answer about the striped. I don't think it is a bad idea if the pay difference isnt that much. And I would have no problem signing a 3 year contract to stay at a hospital

Thanks everyone. I am going to do the refresher course and take the ACLS. My BLS is current. That sucks that the market is so horrible right now. You keep hearing how theres a shortage of nursing and then they wont hire new grads only experienced nurses. Its so sad. I know once I get my BSN some doors will open with military employment so that is why I am working hard on getting my BSN.

Due to husband being in the military and myself having a baby I was not able to look into getting a RN job until now. I will be moving to the Los Angeles County area in Sep. And would like a job. Anyone have any suggestions for me? I have my ADN and am about half way done with my BSN. Ideally I would love to work in a hospital but at this point I think i will take anything. Also do you thinkI should do a refresher course? Or any other courses to help me out? And helps or tips would be greatly appreciated

Do you have the information? I would like to sign myself up. I went to school there and loved it. I think it is worth the 3 year contract plus they pay really well. In addition since it is county if you choose to leave a lot of hospital in the area will hire you ASAP.

I applied to a few of there programs I know they had one in San Pedro, Downey and Anaheim I believe I have yet to hear anything from them. I got to it through a search through indeed.com

Any one here graduates of the program? Or are in the program?
