    CharleeJo.RN replied to CharleeJo.RN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I know what everyone's saying - taught in school to be concise and short as possible. In my program, they told us no longer than 2 pages. But I couldn't put just relevant experience on my resume - I...

  8. New Grads Doomed for years to come?

    CharleeJo.RN replied to MusicEMT's topic in General Nursing

    No, they're not. The location you're in is a huge factor - if there aren't any opportunities, relocate where there are. I recently did just that. When I got out of school, it took a few months to find...
