Hello! I also started in dialysis as a new grad. It was my first job offer and i accepted it fearing that i would not get any other offers. I stayed in dialysis for 3 years. I finally got out of dialysis when i got a job in therapeutic apheresis and peripheral blood stem cell collections. This job is in an outpatient clinic and is affiliated with a large community hospital. I also received a job offer in inpatient med/surg oncology. So my advice is to keep applying.

Cocktail server and banquet server at a golf and country club for 4 years. Sales associate at JCPenney, Forever 21, and a seasonal toy store while in high school.

Hi JoonSusana,How is your orientation going? I was offered a position at Egleston, and of course I accepted. The interview and selection process took quite a while for me, but I'm glad I was patient. Good luck to you.

Hi joonsusanna,Congrats on getting a job at CHOA. I had an interview last.week. I will take the prep test next week. Was it difficult? I've been a nurse for two years, so it's been awhile since I took the nclex. I'm studying growth and.development and reading various childhood diseases. Did you find out if you passed the exam right after you finished taking the exam? And did the nurse recruiter offer you the job right afterwards?

Those are my requirements too. I'm looking at University of Texas Arlington. Very affordable and 100% online. http://www.uta.edu/nursing/rn-bsn

First job - 27 miles. Second job - 7.3 miles.

In my nursing program, I had a choice of getting the vaccine or sign a waiver. I chose to get the vaccine. I work with blood every day. The number one virus that you can contract from a dirty needlestick is hepatatis B virus. Hep B can live on surfaces for up to one week. I'm glad I am protected against it. I did not have any side effects from the vaccine. Any vaccine (and medication) can have side effects. You have to decide if the benefits outweigh the risks.

ASN '10 here. ASN and BSN grads are equally landing jobs in my area. So I am in no rush to go back to school. I am thinking about completing an online RN to BSN program next year mainly because my company will pay for it and I will be self gratified for accomplishing a BSN. Since I am working now, many employers are looking at my experience instead of which degree I have.

School Debt upon graduation - $0. I went to a community college and earned my associate RN degree. My tuition was about $1100 per semester, all paid for by federal pell grants. The federal govt gave me pell grants that were more than what I needed for tuition, so any money left over after tuition I received a check for the remaining amount. I spent it on books, grocery, gas. I bought previous used book editions from half.com. My husband, daughter, and I lived with my parents. So I didn't have to pay for a lot of expenses such as rent. I did, however, ran out of money during my last semester and had to put my expenses on my credit card. My credit card was $2000. I graduated in May and started working in September. I will pay off my credit card debt this month and I'll be debt-free!

I drive 27 miles one way, 30 minutes without traffic, 50 minutes to one hour with traffic. I work 10 hour shifts.

Graduated May 2010. Licensed July 2010. Sent out 60+ applications. Interviews: 5 Job offers: 1 Started working on September 20th. I am in metro Atlanta

I graduated in May 2010, licensed in July, found full-time job in September. This is not my first choice of jobs nor is it in a hospital. I'm working in a dialysis clinic. I literally applied to 100 job positions in hospitals, doctor offices, clinics. I feel fortunate to have a job, especially with the tight economy you gotta take what you can get. Some of my classmates found jobs, some are still looking.

I received an email stating that Piedmont will not offer me the position in the CV program. However, I accepted a position at an outpatient clinic within Emory Healthcare. I start next week. I graduated in May. It took 4 months, 5 interviews for me to land a job. Don't get discouraged. Apply everywhere. Don't just limit your search to only hospitals. Something will come up. Good luck.
