  9. Getting the "Back to School Itch"

  10. Losing hope

    "why haven't you gotten a job yet?" OMG that is crazy... I can't believe that they would ask you that. did you graduate this may '09 or last may '08. If it was last may '08 and they asked you that...

  17. New Nurses Market

    the market for new grads I would say is bad. Two hospitals in the city/borough regions have closed down leaving experienced nurses out of work and searching for new jobs. So new grads in that region...
  18. My confidence is sinking

    There is definitely still hope,.. and I learned that yesterday. I applied for the position that I just got back in JANUARY!!.. I got no call back,.. apparently they weren't interested. I applied to...
