Thank_You_RNs

I have an interview coming up next week at the correctional facility in california and i'm wondering what kinds of questions to expect. If anyone have any info, kindly please help me out. Also, I have been recently accepted for the RN-BSN program th...

I submitted so many applications for RN jobs but most doesn't hire me because I am a newly RN grad (even with a license). They used to hire newly RN grads on the spot with sign-in bonuses. Nowadays, you'll be lucky if they even return your phone call...

Me too. Now, that ive been through the end of the tunnel, the light is not even that better. I've spoken with some of my friends who are teachers, accountants, mechanics, etc.. they all seems to like their jobs and happy. Not frustrated and bitte...

Anyone????

How hard is their RN-BSN program here at CSULA? Are the instructors hard on students? Is it possible to work and go to school at the same time? What is the clinical rotations like? Hope someone will give me a brief summary of this school. Thanks ...

@ srleslie: don't know much about correctional nursing but I also have an interview at this state prison next week. I don't know if i'm going to attend the interview because its far from where I live. ALso, i got accepted for the RN-BSN at this un...

I hope I dont offend anybody. I heard some people who are U.S. residence are going overseas (such as Philippines) and attend college there to get their nursing degree. Then, they can come back and challenge the NCLEX-RN here. Someone told me there...

The answer to your question...Yes, you did the right thing. We had similar experience working at LTC. And I tell you, I will never work at LTC again. Saving your license and your sanity is worth much more than deteriorating your mind & body. ...

With that huge debt, i dont think i'll be walking to a car dealership and asking for a brand new car. That is just plain stupid. And since most of us are struggling old/new grads who couldn't find a job in our respective states, how did she get a j...

Now that the Healthcare Reform Bill has passed the Senate, does it mean more jobs for nurses (experience + new grads)??? Does it mean more regulation, more paperwork, and the quality of healthcare service might diminish???

I haven't heard anything back yet either. Hope they send the emails soon. Goodluck to all of us.

I feel your pain. I did work in a SNF/LTC/Rehab facility before and I didn't stay there long enough. I'm suprise you stay there for almost a year. For me, I couldn't stand it. I felt that my license is at stake everytime I go to work. Plus, the ...

I feel your pain. Here in Ca, the grass is not greener also. We just have to wait and see whats in store for us. Otherwise we might have to take a non nursing position.

I think the question should be phrase, "WOULD YOU STILL PURSUE NURSING IF THE PAY WASN'T THAT MUCH?"

I miss those school days when I was doing clinicals and seeing SIGN-IN BONUSES all over the hospital for newly grads RNs.

I will believe when I see it happening. But for now, I havent seen any improvements in the job market. More and more new grad rns and lvns are graduating without jobs. As an old grad/new grad myself, I am tired of placing my foot at the hospital d...

Maybe someone can help me with this confusing nurse recruiter's questions. Please give examples in your experience. Thanks. 1. Tell us a time when you had to conform to a policy with which you did not agree? 2. How to deal with dissapointment and ...

I am an RN with less than 6 months of experience. After months of applying to many hospital jobs, I ended up getting a job at this SNF facility. I know I should be happy because I have a job during this bad economy. Plus I have a family to support....

I did what I thought was right. I resigned. It felt as the weight on my shoulder was gone. I can finally smile again. Thank you to all who replied and gave advice. It was definitely an experience I dont want to encounter again. This is for sure,...

Today, we had 47 patients. I felt so exhausted and drained. I didn't get to take breaks nor lunch and left the facility late. But I still have to put in my time card that I took them and left on time. Should I just let it go??? Med pass for 47 p...

@ SuesquatchRN, there's 98 residents in our facility. 2 nursing stations. My husband wanted me to stay, but I honestly wanted to give it up and look for something else. What should I do? In these bad economy, its really HARD to find a job.

@ spongebob6286: i know that feeling. i used to work at this facility with a ratio of 1:20 with some help from cna & lvns. i quit after couple of months. i have no regrets in quitting because i felt that my license was at stake. so my messag...

To rksgray13: Maybe the reason your friends got hired is because they have connections inside where they're applying too. Who knows? It make a big difference. To all: 1. How many here graduated without a job for over a year now? What have you g...

I'm glad I didn't go to a private nursing online school to get my RN. I am lucky to get accepted and graduated to a public community college. Our NCLEX passing rate falls between 85% to 95% on average and that is something to be really proud off. ...

Goodluck in finding a job when you graduate! Hope your school helps you find a job...
