I would choose a child psychotherapist. That is something that I was interested in at one point however nursing is my first love.

I too feel tired on my days off and overwhelmed. I am a new nurse only 10 months of experience under my belt. I work during the day shift and when I have a day off all I do is lay around. Hopefully it gets better because this isn't something I want to do just work and waste my life away sort of speak by laying around.

Well I feel the same way but I am a new nurse. With nurses there are so many different opportunities. Try to reach out to someone in Human Resources to see if you can cross train in another department or perhaps do overtime in another area see if you like it. If all is well then perhaps transfer.

I believe you should get it. Do anything in your power to optimize your chances. I too am a new grad and I will be getting my PALS because I really want Pediatric nursing job but will also get my ACLS. Good luck we new nurses have it hard.

Aww thanks so much. I really appreciate your kind words and insight. Also, good luck to you on your Nursing journey. I will update you regarding this once I hear something. I really hope that I land the job.

Congrats

Thanks for taking the time to reply. First congrats to your cousin for landing a job. Next, I am in the USA I live in New York. This is my second degree, I hold a Bachelor in Psychology and I have my Associates in Nursing. Also the position that I got interviewed at is the same hospital I currently work. Are you currently taking pre-reqs?

I graduated in December 2012 and was licensed in March 2013 first try. I had my first interview on April 17 in the Ped's ER in a Metropolitan Hospital. At first I was nervous but when I saw that the Head Nurse that was interviewing me was young I became to be more comfortable. I personally thought that I answered the questions with confidence but when I was introduced to the Assistant Head Nurse (much older lady) the first thing she asked me was do I have Peds experience, but the Head nurse said oh no she's a new grad. I honestly felt really good talking with the Head Nurse but not so much with the Assistant Head Nurse. Lastly I followed up with a thank you email to the Head Nurse. My question is do you think I would have a chance as a new grad? Also, if I should do anything else to increase me chances of getting this job? Thanks for the suggestions in advance.

Congrats you passed.
