Try going to the town you live in local volunteer ambulance corp and see if they need volunteers, or towns close by to where you live. And try the LTC facilities and doctor's offices, even if they don't pay well. I'm from North Jersey so I don't know...

When I graduated in 2009, I went through the same thing. I finally got a position in a LTC facility, but in the sub -acute rehab unit. I hate to say it, but my Dad knew someone who worked there and they handed in my resume. Things are really bad out ...

My prayers are with you, your son and family.

Try contactingthe recruiter below, and put your resume on Monster, that's how all the recruiters get my email and phone # GOOD LUCK!!!!!:) Kellie Rooney Healthcare Recruiter CPR, Inc. [email protected]

It depends on where you are going to school and what state you want to work in. TX, Fla, NM all have openings for new grads. I know because I am a new grad and I'm getting e-mails :typingday after day from recruiters offering me positions in these st...

It's true that nurses eat their young.....I hate to say it but I believe its a nasty female thing.....SOOOO MANY nurses are catty and mean to new grads and pretty much any other female who they may find threatening. I don't know why but it's like tha...

I'm a new graduate RN & I'm going for an interview at a doctor's office. I know salary is negotiable, but don't have any idea what the average is for a doctor's office. Also, do you usually get medical benefits working in a doctor's office full t...

I really think it depends where you are in the U.S. The job market in the New York Tri-State Area, I'm in Northern NJ is very saturated. I went to a job fair in April, there were about 5 Large Hospitals there that point blank said "We are not hiring ...

Well since I was all negative a couple of days ago, I guess I'll have to be a little positive now. :yeah:I got a call from a doctor's office for a job I applied for on Monster. It's not a hospital or LTC, but hey, if I can get 1 year experience worki...

Hi minicakes, I hope you're still looking at this site for answers, since you posted this a week ago. I also get nervous before interviews. My best advice is to be yourself. You obviously are smart, personable, caring and strong if you were able to...

I'm also a new grad and Bayada was at a Job fair last month and told all of the nw grads they don't hire new grads, also all of their jobs posted on Monster ask for experience. The same goes for most of the LTCs in NJ, they want experience or LPNs.

I appreciate the words of encouragement for new grads. However, in Northern/Central New Jersey I have applied to numerous LTC facilities and Home Health Agencies, unfortunately they have said they want at least 1 year experience....I am getting very ...

I am a new grad and have to take a medication test to even be considered for a RN position at a hospital. Anyone ever take a test like this for a job ???? Any idea of what type of ??? would be on it ? Do you need to know specific dosages or just the ...

Thanks for the help everyone ! It's for Saint Barnabas. I feel much more confident now :typing !

This may be a stupid question...but aren't externships just for nursing students and internships are for new graduate nurses ? Not quite clear on that while I was reading your posts.... Thanks

To New Grad Nurse 75 & Jules A, I'm new here so I still can't send private messages, otherwise I would...thanks for your encouragement and I have interviewed for an RN position at the hospital where I work and they told me they have only a few po...

Where I live...which is NJ...they only want experienced RNs...no new grads...I graduated in Jan, and I am having a rough time...so are my classmates. And I worked as a Nursing Assistant for a year !!! Most hospitals want you to have passed your NCLEX...
