1. Is It Just Me...

   JoblessRN replied to kbm318's topic in General Nursing

   funny you bring this up. i started a thread awhile ago r/t this same topic and got raked over the coals for it (i had expressed that i was frustrated that people are going into nursing because it's good money, etc.). the thread was eventually close...

2. I stink so bad Mcallen, TX doesn't even want me.

   JoblessRN replied to TreehuggerRN's topic in General Nursing

   I read this and felt so bad for you. I am sort of (you have experience, whereas I don't) in the same position...same old story: new grad struggling (seriously struggling) to have someone take a chance on me. Anyway, I hate to sound cliché and I'm s...

3. New grad RN to take first job in subacute -yay or nay?

   JoblessRN replied to iRN86's topic in General Nursing

   Honestly, I would say take it. Just because other new grads quit their jobs doesn't mean you'll have a bad experience. I truly believe that if you have supportive co-workers, you will be fine. I have huge respect for Subacute/LTC/Nsg home RN's bec...

4. I was violated by a doctor

   JoblessRN replied to abbaking's topic in Relations

   all i can say is "i'm so sorry!" i am stunned by the horrendous ignorance of others.

5. Questions about relocating

   JoblessRN replied to thatme20's topic in California

   I agree with Cubanita.....working on your MSN right now will look great to employers. It is a little easier to get a job here where I am (Northern CA) when you have experience. The market for new grads here is terrible right now, but as far as I kn...

6. Help Senior In High School

   JoblessRN replied to whoagreg's topic in California

   i would do the pre-req's at a jc (saves some $$) and then try to transfer to a university. bsn's are looked upon very favorably for certain medical centers. do lots of volunteer work...this really shows that you have an interest. nursing school ha...

7. Hospitals Hiring only Nurses with BSN Degree

   JoblessRN replied to nlhnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

   i've seen quite a bit of "bsn strongly preferred" and i have also seen a couple bsn required. if they do start to require all adn's to get their bsn, i hope they plan of paying for it. yikes.

8. Im miserable at my new job!!! HELP!

   JoblessRN replied to NoeIssa's topic in General Nursing

   some people seem to not like you before they like you. i've never understood that mentality, but you won't change some people. just go in, do you work, be cordial and go home. i doubt it's anything you're doing...it's sounds like their problem. ...

   Couldn't have said it better.

10. Don't know what to do. I just CAN'T. TAKE. THIS. ANYMORE...........

    JoblessRN replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    this is the last response i will make. i have no problem with honesty....in fact, i prefer it. you're right - lying to me and telling me it will be okay doesn’t' help me. however, your "brutal honesty" makes you just come across as an absolute **...

    JoblessRN replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    wow. how unbelievably rude. according to all the nurse managers i have interviewed with, i am doing nothing wrong - it's just horrible times. they all decided to go with experienced nurses. out of my graduating class of 80, 4 have found jobs. bunch...

    JoblessRN replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    oh, dear. i think i might have come across like an idiot. i am definitely grateful for at least having a job. i knew that "you’ll be beating recruiters off with sticks" was a complete and utter lie, but i never thought i would be begging my friends w...

    i *so* appreciate your concern and empathy. :icon_hug: i live in california (no wonder i can't get a job). i have applied for jobs in tx, pa, fl, or, and wa. there's just one issue with working out of state: my debt is so ridiculously high. i woul...
