Promptly turn me away as soon as she asked about my experience as a RN and I said that I was a new grad. I'm referring to the Director of Recruitment for a hospital. I went to a career fair that I had pre-registered for and disclosed on the form that...

It's good to know that there are others who can relate to my experience as a new grad... but it kinda sucks that we have to deal with this!

Nope... I graduated in August (ADN) with a 3.5 and very high HESI scores (top 1% in the nation), prior volunteer experience (hospital), and multiple recommendation letters... None of this has helped. From my experience, recruiters aren't even looking...

Hey everyone! I got sick a few days before I was scheduled to take NCLEX. I ended up in the ER the night before the test and being admitted. I stayed one week on tele and one week med-surg. I'm all better now :yeah:and survived the horror of being in...

Thank you all for your responses!

Sorry!

Hey everyone! What are y'all doing to get interviews? If you don't mind sharing! I've applied online for EVERYTHING I am remotely qualified for and EVERY New Grad job I find but haven't gotten ANY call backs! I've had my resume reviewed by several pe...

Thank you guys so much! I'm just a new grad having an awful time finding a job! I know I have a lot of company in this situation it's just that I've had a few extra bumps in the road lately that have added to the stress. I'm doing everything I can th...

Sorry everyone! I changed my mind once I re-read the post. I sounded like a cry baby

#1 L&D, #2 NICU, #3 Post Partum... I think I just put those 3...

I applied! My husband is there this week getting things in order for our move (I'm out of state-TX) so he dropped off my packet today. Now the wait begins

Hey everyone, I have a huge problem! I was scheduled to take NCLEX this week but I ended up in the hospital the night before (Go figure ) Well... I call Pearson the next morning which was the morning of the test and they said there was nothing they c...

glutton, I was considering going to the job fair but some of my classmates said they were told it was for experienced RNs only. We graduate next week... Think it would be acceptable for us to go without GN permit at least? Thanks!

Hello Everyone! I am graduating next week with my ADN:yeah:!!! It's been a long road! I was so excited about starting nursing school and becoming a RN... Until... I started to hear the ADN vs BSN debate and the negative outlook on jobs for new grads....

Hello, Does anyone know how long it takes to get your scores after taking the HESI A2 entrance exam? Thanks in advance!

I got my card about two weeks ago. I have the same schedule (Mon & Tues evening lecture and Sat clinical) too. They said that if there is something that comes up on your background check the BON would send you a letter. It was mentioned in the nu...

I know what you mean... I have a big Saints helmet magnet on the back of my Tahoe and I get cut-off and honked at all the time! Makes me wanna add another one...lol !!!! Nobody is gonna stop me from representing!!!

Congrats!!!! We should definitely find a way to exchange info so we can start our study group.

I was born and raised a Saints fan... Them boys in BLACK and GOLD are on their way to the SUPERBOWL baby!!! As far as Pharm... they said they would register those who need it once all the background checks are processed. I believe they said the Phar...

Coulter, Sorry you're having a hard time with Micro! At least we're almost done though! I moved here from New Orleans after Katrina. We lived in Gentilly near UNO and Dillard if you're familiar with that area.... It was a big change and I had a rough...

Coulter, Where are you taking Micro? I'm taking it as a hybrid class at Fairbanks center on Saturdays. I would be fine with a study group I will definitely find the time! We should all try to help each other out as much as we can. Nursing school is n...

Does anyone know if all the books on the list are available at the Kingwood bookstore??? I tried looking at the online bookstore and it's saying the book lists aren't available. Maybe they aren't loaded yet but I need to start budgeting for everythin...

Hey everyone, My name is Anjelle and I will be at Kingwood's orientation tomorrow... I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone.

Who else is going to the Nov 11th orientation at Kingwood? I am sooo looking forward to it!

Coulter, Are you going to the orientation at Kingwood on the 11th? And are you days/evenings at Kingwood? I'm going on the 11th and I requested evenings with Sat clinical. I'm excited and really nervous all at once!
