Hello All, I have an interview coming up very soon with the Grand Strand Medical Center, and was wondering if anyone could give any advice on what to expect at the interview (format), time between interviewing/job offer, hospital culture, etc. I am r...

Is there anyone that could shed some light on the "salary grades" at The Texas Children's Hospital (Houston)? I saw an RN position and it stated salary grade: 11, and I just wondered what ballpark that was in. Thank you in advance for any help:)

I was just wondering why this forum doesn't have any activity? It seems like all the other states have people posting all the time, sharing information/job leads, etc. And SC one is so inactive. Does anyone have any insight as to why?

I am a Dec 2011 grad as well, and I previously lived in Ohio, have since moved to SC for my first RN job. I sent out 250 resumes, all over the southeast, and last month *finally* landed a job in SC. If anyone would be willing to relocate and transfer...

Patti-RN, not all new grads live at home with their Mom and Dad. I have two teens that have gone without for a long time now while Mom persued her dream of becoming a nurse. I have bills to pay, and as great as volunteering may look on a resume, I ne...

First, Congrats on the new job:) But, I am pretty sure once you are a licensed RN, you cannot "volunteer" as a Nursing Assistant. Something to do with laws, etc. Not that I don't believe in volunteering (I do at our local shelter), but I need a paych...

I have been applying all over NC since February (graduated Dec 2011) and have had absolutely no luck so far. I am really becoming frustrated with the whole thing, but trying to remain positive. I guess now I get to compete for jobs with May graduates...

Please, tell me where and I will apply right now!!!

I know this is an old link, but I have the same type of question. Last week I went for an interview (new grad), and they asked me to come back the next morning for a peer interview. After, they sent me to HR to sign off on a background check. Tomorro...

I have applied for 130 RN positions as a new grad looking for a position. There is NO way I can tailor the cover letter to every single hospital's posting. And, some hospital's websites only allow you to upload a different resume/cover letter a maxim...

Good Luck today:)

Warning* This is a vent. Not being able to find ANY RN job just makes you feel like crap. I am also tired of hearing about ALL of those nursing jobs clueless people talk about. I have literally applied to 120 positions, in every state, for either exp...

Congratulations!!! So happy for you:)

What you wrote makes me sad, even though you were being honest. I am not a believer in any gods, but I would be happy to hold someone's hand, of ANY faith, while they prayed. I would also be quite happy to call a chaplain if preferred. I have found c...

Yep, been there, done that. Thanks.

I feel like we are in the same boat! I have applied to literally 120 positions in the past 6 weeks, and NOT ONE PHONE CALL. I live in Ohio, but am licensed (RN) in NC (a compact state) because I want to relocate to the southeast, and felt getting a l...

I recently graduated (Dec'11) and passed my boards Feb 20th. I am licensed (RN) in NC because I figured it would be easy to use in compact states, or switch over anyway. I have been sending resumes out in NC and SC, and having no luck so far. I have ...

I took the NCLEX(RN) today and I have got to tell you, it wasn't bad. I mean, really. I think everyone should definitely study and prepare, but I walked out of there feeling totally relieved. After hearing everyone's stories about what tools they use...

Okay, here's a little secret: The NCLEX gives you partial credit for SATA's. They won't admit it. But, I can promise you, I did NOT get all 18 SATA's perfect, but I passed at 75 questions. A "little bird" told me this secret. I knew this going in so ...

I also received a call this morning from HR, but of course I was in the shower! I returned her call and got her VM, so I left a message. In the meantime, I was sent an email from her to complete an assessment, which I have just completed. Hoping to r...

I am going with B as well.

Thank you:)

Hey All, I am taking the NCLEX (RN) tomorrow at 2pm (2/20/2012), and was wondering if anyone could tell me how long they had to wait until their license was posted by the NCBON. I know the website says that they can take up to 30 days, but I am not s...

Thank you! I do plan to try the Pearson Vue "trick", so far it's helped a couple of my friends to not lose their minds until it was officially posted:) I am glad your results were posted in less than a week, it gives me hope! Thanks again.

As a new grad (Dec 2011). I assure you that the new grad positions are tight all over NC. I have been applying to all the new grad positions available in NC since Dec, and haven't heard a peep. I am scheduled for the NCLEX Feb 20, so I am wondering i...
