  1. How can a new graduate RN become employed ?

    ToughingItOut replied to lnjgpa's topic in General Nursing

    Greetings! So, I know that this is probably exactly what you're trying to avoid...but have you thought about just sticking with dialysis for a little bit? I thought of applying to a dialysis center...

  2. New grad nurses- what did you do to get hired?

    ToughingItOut replied to bornthisway's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm also originally from the Houston area, and graduated during the Ike aftermath and MD Anderson hiring freeze (lol, even LESS jobs)! I ended up moving out of state for my dream job. I was looking...

    ToughingItOut replied to nicugrad's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Our hospital uses them all the time...mostly for post-abdominal surgeries. Honestly, they're great when they work, but they seem to have complications more often than not (leaking, poop all the way...

    ToughingItOut posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I'm currently in the process of preparing for graduation and applying for graduate nurse positions. I LOVE the NICU, but I'm slightly worried that starting out in a NICU may limit my career in the...

    ToughingItOut replied to ToughingItOut's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Thank you NeoNurseTx! I received your PM, however, I apparently "do not have permission to send personal messages." I tried briefly to figure out how to gain permission, but no luck yet. Your...

    ToughingItOut replied to ToughingItOut's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Really, opportunities in research and education? That's great! I'm interested in both. What kinds of opportunities NeoNurseTx? By the way, I'm in Texas! Do you know of any good places to get my...

  8. Will the NICU limit me in the future?

    ToughingItOut replied to ToughingItOut's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Thank you for your advice. No, I wouldn't feel very secure in my medsurg skills after only a year or two in NICU. I'm tempted to try to look for a position in PICU or adult ICU to establish a...
