JoblessRN

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

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...

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.

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.

I am so BEYOND frustrated. Far beyond. It’s the same sob story…new grad May ’09 who keeps getting doors slammed in her face. I have, since May, applied to 102 jobs (Med/Surg/ICU/ER/SNF, in-state and out of state, urban and rural). I have been fortun...

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 **...

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...

To everyone (mostly everyone): I just want to thank you again for all your empathy and support. I will absolutely look into ALL of the ideas and job postings you either posted on here or sent to me. I am grateful for all your help and understanding. ...

i would love to look into it – i would very much appreciate the email. i did apply to the fl program you sent me, but never heard back. i will definitely look into the nc one. thank you! i have applied to several clinics – even the one i work at....

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...

i have. two of my interviews were 3 1/2 hours away from where i live. i am willing to move away form my husband for a couple years just to get the experience.

working on the letter today. i feel sick to my stomach about hearing people quote the "nursing shortage" and i just wan to cut in and tell them how freaking false it is. total myth! there is absolutely no nursing shortage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! if i had ...

1.) Dermatology - I can handle most things (feces, sputum etc.) but skin is sooooo gross to me. No pun intended, but some skin disorders make MY skin crawl. :barf01: 2.) Burn Unit - Can't get passed the smell 3.) LTC/SNF - I commened nurses that wor...

as far as i know, the temp agencies when i live won't hire new grads..."experience required".

hi lulu, i completely understand how you feel!!!! i have been searching since may and have submitted to about 86 jobs thus far with no luck. i have never been so frustrated in my life. i am also beginning to feel that going to nursing school w...

when i did my ob rotation, we only took care of post-partum mothers. i do not recall ever taking care of a pt that had an abortion. if it did come to you getting assigned a pt who was a "post-abortion" pt, you could always ask your preceptor or ...

ROFLMAO!!!!! :roll:roll I am seriously beginning to think that some people should be required to have a license before breeding.

Ummmm...I echo Katie's' sentiments. In this market, you should be grateful they are offering you a position. (*Note*: I am not saying this with a mean/rude tone and I'm sure you are grateful). You best stay where you are and enjoy your guaranteed ...
