  1. STILL don't have a job?? Vent here!

    Little_Mouse replied to wonderwomanchels's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Honestly, I truly believe that hospitals are hiring internally. Basically, to land a job most of the time nowadays, is to know someone. Either, they were a tech/cna at a hospital>>was attending...

    Little_Mouse replied to ttreeds's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Little_Mouse replied to VM85's topic in First Year After Licensure

  4. Dating/Relationships & the Military

    Little_Mouse posted a topic in Government, Military

    Hi everyone, I wasn't sure whether or not to put this under the Dating & Relationships section or here. In either case, I was wondering about the effects/consequences/what to expect when dating,...

    Little_Mouse replied to L8RRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yeah, thanks for the reminder...it has been tough and I've forgotten (albeit frustrated, pessimistic and yes...lazy) in doing call backs. Btw, congratulations!! It's nice to hear some good news....

  6. STILL don't have a job?? Vent here!

    Little_Mouse replied to wonderwomanchels's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wow. I almost got confused if I wrote this or someone else did. Haha. Yeah, today I drove to 5 different SNFs in my area and 2 of them said they weren't hiring RNs...after I filled out the...

  7. Warning to New Grads

    Little_Mouse replied to Little_Mouse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Amen. You wrote exactly how I was/have been feeling. Since I quit my job at SNF, I've been looking for other places to work with no leads so far. I've also been feeling like maybe it was a bad idea...

  10. STILL don't have a job?? Vent here!

    Little_Mouse replied to wonderwomanchels's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That's it! I have a confession to make!: 1) I am jealous of the new grads that already have jobs! It just makes me feel like there is something wrong with me; like I'm lacking...

    Little_Mouse replied to BABO's topic in California Nursing

  15. EKG Class??

    Little_Mouse replied to mlok's topic in California Nursing

    I have the same question. I've looked online but haven't found anything. Couple of them are for ECG technicians. I've read that some hospitals may offer it. Haven't tried calling, but that may be a...

  16. New Grads with No Job...Back to School???

    Little_Mouse replied to JMRN09's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I gotta say, I have a BSN, and I doubt it's giving me an upper hand in the job market. All hospitals (or anywhere for that matter) is looking for the big "e" word: EXPERIENCE. Even experience as an...
