Excitedfor2016

Hi Everyone, I have just been accepted into Georgetown FNP Cohort 22 Spring 2016, I am so excited and wanted to see if anyone else will be in the same cohort. Currently live in California and it would be awesome to have another classmate who is form ...

I feel really bad for new grads that are looking for work, it has been a nightmare for me trying to find work. I wanted to give everyone a heads up on a opportunity I stumble upon reading allnurses.com here is one that might be helpful Hoag Hospital ...

I was offered a position today @ Torrance Memorial Medical Center, I have been searching for the past 4 1/2 months. I graduated in January(2011), passed NCLEX March. God is good!!!!!!!!!!

I just wanted to let everyone know that it has been a rough 4 1/2 month searching for a job as a new grad, today I received a phone call from Torrance Memorial Medical Center that I was selected for their new grad program. I am an external applicant...

Hi Sarah_LTRN, I also had 3 interviews and meet the staff members I thought I had a good chance of being hire but I believe that most of the position @ UCLA is filled by the UD friends or people who already work there. I just wished they would not le...

can you review my resume as well, let me know

Working in a doctors office part time is another option for new grads, if you work part time the pay is higher and this can provide you with a chance to apply for other jobs (hospital) while making an income an gaining some experience. I have had a h...

Today was not a good day I received 6 rejection letters all in one day. I am a new graduate looking for work, most of the places I look for work all require 1 or more years of nursing experience. I do not know how I am suppose to gain this nursing e...

Congratulation RNwannabe, I know it has been a long journey, do you have and word of advise for new grads still looking for work???

How can I apply to VA long beach new grad RN program, let me know

ChurchRN, You are right about presenting a succinct resume, I originally had a horrible resume that was not displaying my talents affectively and as a result I did not get interviews. Once I had my engineer friend who works for a well know company lo...

Help!!! I have been on 3 interviews on out of state ($700 lost for the plan ticket and hotel).I wanted to know if I should leave out my second degree(B.A. Biology) because it is not helping me land a job. Also when I am in the interview and they ask ...

I want to say thank you to everyone that responded to my post, this is so helpful and I plan to listen to what was stated on the thread hopefully now I can get hired!!!

I think Iam not getting the job because of how I interview, I think also my problem is putting great emphasis on my biology degree. I do not think people appreciate this degree like how I do, I see this degree as providing me with solid science backg...

Hi want2banrn, The marker is horrible right now for both BSN and AA new grads. I do not feel anyone is trying to be pessimistic it is just frustrating for us new grad who have loans to pay, worked hard in nursing school, studied hard for NCLEX and no...

Did anyone interview for SHARP MICU or Medsurg?

Hi Oooitzsharon, I have two degrees: First degree is a BA Biology Second degree is a BSN I do not feel that having two degrees help to land a job.

Hi NurseJaneRN, I thought I looked really nice and professional for my interview. I invested in a black blazer, white top, and black pencil skirt from Banana Republic. I think from now on I am not going to dress so nice. There is a saying "never outs...

Congratulations KR11, do you have any nursing experience or volunteer experience?

OMG, I just remembered something, during the first interview with the UD she asked me several times: "have you applied to any other place". She mentioned this 3-4 times, then on my 2nd interview when I got a tour of the unit the lady asked me several...

Hi eeyorelove, I am a very honest person and I am always honest with myself. The way things are in California is sad and scary. The same thing happened when I was looking to apply to nursing school. I was very honest with myself and decided I rather ...

I think you should call and find out, you never know she might hire you!!!

nurseJaneRN thank you for the encouragement, I have been really down today after getting yet another rejection. I keep on thinking "what am I doing wrong". I have 2 degrees and still can not get work, the only way to get work is through nepotisim. If...

I got tired of waiting so I decided to call the UD, she said I did not get the job. I asked her what I could do to improve my chances for next time and she said nothing. I will not apply to UCLA any longer because this is apparently not the way to go...

I also got my rejection email today.
