  1. Please share your story

    magnoliophyte replied to PayitForwardHolistic's topic in General Nursing

  2. New Grads vs Me. I hate this economy.

    magnoliophyte replied to SushiRN's topic in Nursing Career

    This is not always the case, I'm afraid. I'm a new-grad and I got my full-time, permanent job by attending a job fair. I didn't get interviewed for anything at the fair itself, but the managers who I...

    magnoliophyte replied to dani_robar's topic in Psychiatric

  4. Rude interviews - Common?

    magnoliophyte replied to gnursjr2's topic in Psychiatric

    I hate to say it but no, that isn't "normal". I interviewed for a psychiatric hospital and it was the opposite of this -- it was very friendly and the managers were genuinely interested in talking to...

  5. New Grad Blues

    magnoliophyte replied to rosiegirl212's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Rest assured that there is literally no way you are alone -- take a look at our nation's unemployment rates. It's not a nursing-only problem. That being said, nursing is better off than most career...

    magnoliophyte replied to lperkrn's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm a new grad (may 2011) and unemployed as well, but jeez louise, CalNurs that comes across to me as some seriously off-kilter stuff. The recent economic recession had massive repercussions to all...

  7. The nursing job shortage???

    magnoliophyte replied to khott98's topic in Nursing Career

    Is there really anything to go to school for right now that is a hot job market? I keep pretty current with economic news, and it's bad across the board just about everywhere for everything. That...

  9. Stress of finding a job

    magnoliophyte replied to RoxyChic's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I've had a little bit of a change of luck since my post here, too... I got called for a couple interviews. I had one over the phone (long distance job) and I have an in-person interview on Tuesday....

  10. Stress of finding a job

    magnoliophyte replied to RoxyChic's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You're not alone out there, I've been having the same problem. Graduated in May 2011 and haven't had any interviews or even a callback. Even reaching out to rural areas has lead to nothing but...

  12. Graduate RN Job Search...

    magnoliophyte replied to KatieBrookeRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's very hard to stay positive, but I think we all must. I've found exercising every morning to really help my attitude for the rest of the day. You never know when you will need those endorphines...

  13. Graduate RN Job Search...

    magnoliophyte replied to KatieBrookeRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm in the same boat, you're not alone out there. I've been job hunting since I got my license in July and haven't even gotten an interview. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong either. Most of the...

    magnoliophyte replied to magnoliophyte's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Well, I just learned something today the hard way: to any new RN's looking at this program, they only take BSN graduates. I was told they only look at ADN grads if they don't fill all (25-30) slots...

    magnoliophyte replied to Gav-Gen's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just took my test this morning, and my computer shut off at 80 questions. I too tried the supposed pearsonvue trick, but I'm not too sure how much to trust it. In re: to your distress over the...

  19. Question re: Pearson VUE

    magnoliophyte replied to Parkster's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
