  1. new grad hiring freeze

    UserG replied to newgradrn2's topic in Colorado Nursing

    What is you think the students do during their time at DSoN? They must be doing something right with a high NCLEX pass rate. And Harvard has numbers to show what a...

  2. new grad hiring freeze

    UserG replied to newgradrn2's topic in Colorado Nursing

    CU has their students pass the NCLEX first time about 5% more than DSoN from the BSN program. DSoN is about on par with

  3. What the heck is going on in Portland right now?

    UserG replied to sonnyluv's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Thanks a bunch! I applied for only one of the jobs, though. (It actually said "new grads welcome to apply"!) I might have my search strings wrong because I only found the one job I could apply to....

  4. What the heck is going on in Portland right now?

    UserG replied to sonnyluv's topic in Oregon Nursing

    With all due respect to your 20+ years, I hear that same comment every day and most of us new grads are getting kind of sick of it. It ranks right up there with "How can you NOT find a job? There's...

  5. Lutheran? Of C?

    UserG replied to bigreddog1934's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I used to do the commute from CU-Boulder to Lutheran. That hill can be a real nail-biter when it has been snowing a bunch. But the traffic isn't too bad, depending on the time of day. Boulder is...

  6. Should I stay or should I go?

    UserG posted a topic in Oregon Nursing

    The old unemployment office reminded me that I am now at 3 months without working as a nurse. Since I'm not as experienced as everyone seems to want to hire (I'm frequently seeing 3-5 years), so...

  7. Should I stay or should I go?

    UserG replied to UserG's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Would love the opportunity! Now, if I can just get the PM's to work on this site... grrrr! I guess I need to make enough posts to know that I'm not just a troll. My apartment may not be the...

  8. Lutheran? Of C?

    UserG replied to bigreddog1934's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I worked as a tech at Lutheran while an undergrad. Absolutely loved it. I can't really compare it to UCHSC because I never worked there, but I used to drop patients off there and the ED staff were...

  9. new grad hiring freeze

    UserG replied to newgradrn2's topic in Colorado Nursing

    In my personal opinion (and a fellow DSoN grad), there needs to be some letter writing going on. It is clear from many politicians' speeches they don't have a clue (usually in general) about what is...

  10. new grad hiring freeze

    UserG replied to newgradrn2's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Clearly? Not really. Do some research and you will se a de facto hiring freeze for new grads. At any given facility, the number of jobs that don't include a request for 1+ years of experience or...

  11. new grad hiring freeze

    UserG replied to newgradrn2's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Not snotty, just uniformed. As someone who has been submitting applications since May (over 400 last count, spread over 7 states!), I can tell you that those staffing agencies are crap for new grads....

  12. What the heck is going on in Portland right now?

    UserG replied to sonnyluv's topic in Oregon Nursing

    And how long does someone have to be here to fill your arbitrary standard? I'm a 2008 graduate. By your reasoning, none of the 2009's should get jobs until I get one. I was in your club before...

  13. What the heck is going on in Portland right now?

    UserG replied to sonnyluv's topic in Oregon Nursing

    So, because LA sucks so bad that people want to leave it, they should have to stay where they are? Isn't this supposed to be the land of opportunity? I certainly hope you don't have to enter the...

  14. Not exactly another New Grad problem

    UserG posted a topic in Colorado Nursing

    There is a long list of new grads that are out there that are pretty frustrated, but as far as I can tell, this is a new twist and I would appreciate any advice/support. During nursing school, I found...
