  1. Failing NCLEX

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to Tiffers88's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My quick and dirty secret about the NCLEX is this: You must answer the questions within less than a minute. The quicker you move forward the better. It doesn't matter if you get questions wrong in the...

  3. Do men really have a better shot at finding a job?

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to mcpheenom's topic in Men in Nursing

    If you're looking out of state you have to present yourself as someone who lives there otherwise they'll never give it to you. Men might have a little bit of an advantage in the ED but other than that...

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to NorCalRN85's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I know how you feel I'm an old newgrad as well. My strategy now is to focus on one thing only. I decided to specialize in the ER. So I volunteer for my county hospital here in Nor Cal. I just keep...

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to ILuvJersey_RN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    This is just how it is today. Discard all the hype and dreams of finding a job right away as your might have been told. Finding a nursing job is as challenging as any other carer out there. There are...

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to dhusc1228's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  13. Graduate nurse: difficulty finding job.. Emergency Medical Scribe Experience

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to Aniva's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thank you Aniva. I will look into that. I graduated in 2011 and by now I've been looking for over a year. No response at all. I am volunteering at a ER/trauma center in N.Cal. I love the ER. If that...

  14. Advice on finding a job???

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to happa511's topic in General Nursing

    Oh...great, Alaska was my saving board, so much for that. I was willing to move to Alaska as a drastic and desperate measure and now you say the situation is as bad as everywhere else. So I guess I'm...

  15. Glendale Adventist New Grad Program

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to starghadeer's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I received similar e-mails from other programs, not from Adventist however...I keep my fingers crossed. The good news is that there seem to be a lot more of these programs out there now compared to...

  16. So, you want to be a nurse??

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to angelalyn1975's topic in Nursing Career

    I think one important fact few know about is that having a RN license and a BS or MSN does not mean you are a nurse able to get a job right away. What they don't tell you in nursing school is that...

  17. New Grad RN-->No Jobs, Then what?

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to lperkrn's topic in Nursing Career

    Yes, that sounds good and all but be careful. In tough times like these some dishonest individuals will try to take advantage of people who are desperate. Don't ever get into any thing without signing...

  18. New Grad RN-->No Jobs, Then what?

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to lperkrn's topic in Nursing Career

    The true is that our economy is contracting very strongly and hospitals are not hiring, they are laying off. Until that changes...there is very little you can do other than get lucky I suppose, yes...

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to Biffbradford's topic in Nursing Career

    What kind of job did you get exactly? Where are you in the U.S.? I just feel like looking for a job at this moment here in the Bay Area (one of the worst places) is almost a complete waste of time,...

  20. Anyone over 50 recently hired?

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to Biffbradford's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm 53 and I am wondering if my age is having a negative influence on me getting a job as a New Grad. I sometimes think that only cute young people are getting the new grad jobs these days. What I am...

  21. Why can't I get a job as a New RN Grad?

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to butterfly_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think that as far as a new grad goes they might prefer someone who has no working experience. They (HR) feel you might have some formed working habits which might be hard to change. Try applying as...

  22. My RN Job Search.....

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to jessRN6896's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think is a matter of luck, who you are, who you know, your internal drive and an assortment of other fun things, what will lend you a job as a new grad nurse at this moment. At the end of the day...

    Leonardo Del Toro replied to pat8585's topic in First Year After Licensure
