This seems to be a new trend since the hospitals are not hiring us! I was hired as a charge nurse.... what about you guys? Tell me your experiences as a new grad R.N. in a nursing home!

I just am Shocked someone would say this on an interview!! Or I guess in general!?? I know that other countries have different ideas about what is appropriate to say. Totally taboo to talk about someone's weight!!! I am shocked!!

Katiemarie, you just graduated in December. Almost everyone I know who did end up getting jobs including myself graduated LAST year. Your journey has just begun. I too graduated with honors and magna cum laude. Well the truth is there are hundreds mo...

congrats!!!!

What state are you in Skny? Are you in NY? Do you have an associates degree or a bachelors?

Is this a hospital or a LTC facility. The LTC facilities are going to hire RN's as charge nurses because their license covers all the legal aspects that LPN's cannot

Hello Sunshine! I live across the country, so I can't help you. When I signed on I saw your post and had to reply! So hello!

Update: I got the job. I found out officially 1 month after first interview. I start NEXT MONTH. That is a total of 2 MONTHS after my first interview! I graduated in December 2009! ONE YEAR LATER I GOT A JOB

I am right there with you. offer from floor no call back from HR! Waiting and waiting

Okay so I called HR yesterday to "follow up" Then the floor manager called me back to offer me the position. She said HR should be calling me very soon because classes start in 2 weeks. 24 hours later NOTHING from HR. I mean whats going on ? HAHA I a...

I was too a new grad at a LTC facility. I was placed as charge nurse on the 3-11 shift and I had 1 lpn, 5 cna's and 60 residents. It was nuts! I enjoyed my time there and LEARNED SOOOO MUCH. Especially time management. I left because the facility was...

CNA is the only way you'll almost insure a job in a hospital as an RN. For the rest of us that thought CNA or not I will get a job here is where we are!! Nurses we are not hiring LOL

Ohhh I know what the hospital of NEW GRADUATE ASSOCIATE DEGREE NURSES is paying. A big fat $0.00 per hour.

I am telling you that everything you are feeling is VERY common amongst new nurses ESPECIALLY during this economic downfall! We are pushed to the limits because hospital's and LTC facilities are cutting staff to save money. Our jobs are getting more ...

The only reason I got the interview for the job was because someone with MAJOR pull at the hospital put in my resume. It was purely due to someone I knew. I think she might have seen the listing internally but it was never listed on their website. It...

how did they finally offer you the job? What did the NR say when you kept asking her about your application? I feel like I bombed the H R interview but the nurses on the floor liked me a lot. Will they TELL us if they went with someone else??????

I can totally understand what you are feeling. I am currently in a BSN program and I just left my job at a nursing home because it was 60:1 and insane. I felt that after being in the bsn program and learning about ethics and morals I was going again...

I am in the same situation. It has been 2 weeks as of tomorrow. She said it could take 3 weeks but I just feel let down. I guess I gotta go back to looking for jobs at nursing homes The last one was terrible! I love working with the elderly but they...
