Come here.

Lawton here. If you can find a job in OKC or Tulsa, it's very nice out there. Try there first. Lawton is about the same hring range, same cost of living, but lots and lots of military. It is also a growing town, about 3 hours from Dallas and 1 1/2 hours from OKC.

Oh yes. The OK Board told me it takes them only 3 days to endorse a license and if it takes longer, it is the Nurses fault, because he/she didn't fill out the paperwork correctly.

Well she came here 21 years ago. She has 2 US licenses already. They have verified her credentials already. I still disagree, there should be a national license. It would make life easier for Travelers particularly and other RN's that are moving as well.

Seriously, I have to steam off right now ....:angryfire I am trying to help a Nurse we'd like to hire get her OK license endorsed. She moved to the US 21 years ago, the CGFNS does not have her records anymore (they only keep it for 10 years), she has been licensed in NY since 1990 and in IN since 1994 and OK does not accept any of that. She has to redo her credential evaluation with CGFNS, which CGFNS told her she will have to activate her foreign license again. What??? I don't get it. I believe there should be a national license and that's it. Aaahhhh

Thanks for the post. I agree that is what I am looking for as well when I look at resumes. Clinical Rotations should be listed as such, they are not actual work experience. And so far, everybody has been great about removing their personal information from resumes. I agree, it is very important to play it safe on the net. You never know who is lurking out there. Be careful.

Sure go ahead and send it to me as well. PM me for my email or send resume via pm.

It will take a long time to get your OK license, be prepared. I've seen an average of 5-6 weeks to get your OK license endorsed. Not fun.

Hi Maverick, your resume is pretty good, however I agree with ilovenursing2009, ad a little skills. What did you do when you worked and in your rotations? Max of two for a resume is correct, however, if you don't have much experience to show for, keep it at one page. Just my two cents. :)

Yep, PM is great, I'll send you my email via PM.

Same here, I'll take a look at your resume if you want me too. I am a Recruiter and look at plenty of resumes every day. :) Also (unless you want me to recruit you) please take off all your personal information from your resume.

Ok, I sent you one, I hope you can get it.

@Snoopy: Hang in there. If you need me to take a look at your resume, send me a PM and I'll get you my email address. I look at so many applications every day, one more won't hurt

Yep, I think I have mentioned this before several times, but here in Oklahoma we need nurses, we hire new nurse and experienced nurses. Until about 1 month ago I still had a sign-on bonus for experienced OR nurses (not anymore, it took me about 3 month to fill my positions). It is difficult to find nurses here, hospitals are still fighting over RN's in OK and I think there are a few places in TX as well.

I agree, if you can move, do it. Texas and Oklahoma are both hiring New Grad's, as a matter of fact, here in OK we still fight over Nurses to hire. And many hospitals here hire New Grads.
