Ok so I am going to graduate with my MSN in nursing education in a few months and I plan on going back to get my FNP as well. So I am currently working on MS unit, I have been trying to transition in house after being on my floor for 18 months, so I...

Yesterday I had an interview scheduled at a hospital that I have wanted to work at for a long time. To make a long story short I worked 7pm-730 am the night before. When they asked me what days were good for me last week I told gave them a few days t...

I guess my problem is on my Medical surgical floor I am getting exposed to the same things over and over again and I feel like it becomes monotonous. I figure an ER may provide me with more things. I wouldn't even be opposed to staying on my MS floor...

Thank you for your replies. I guess since it was a well known hospital I felt I had to go to the interview when the job was offered. At my current job I have been to two internal interviews and I was told during orientation that they would work with ...

I work in the Chicagoland area and we are making around $26 to start

I am sorry to hear that that happened to you. I lost a job when I was younger as a CNA because a Psych patient told the nurse that I was rude to her. I always helped out other staff and made efforts to help people when I worked and witnessed many of ...

I am so glad that someone posted on here. I work on a general medical floor as well. I took ACLS hoping to become a critical care nurse, but working on the general medicine floor has made me forget certain aspects of emergency care. I had a young pat...

Thanks everyone for your responses. It is nice to know I have allies all over the place that understand what it is like in nursing. My husband is a teacher and he understands how busy teaching is, but he does not understand how busy nursing is. I lef...

I am a newer nurse and have been employed since August last year. I was hired on as a RN on a 64 bed unit med-surge unit. Med surge is not the field I wanted to go into, but because of the economy I took the job and I am really learning alot. However...

I feel your pain too!! I had a rough journey to get through nursing and I feel I am at a stand still. I have had a few interviews for new residency programs and despite my experience and my demonstration of being passionate about nursing, I never get...

I hear you loud and clear!! I have 7 years of health care experience and have gone on some interviews, but sadly I have not been chosen either. All I can say is revamp your resume and cover letter and call the recruiters or email them to find out the...

Hi I am a soon to be BSN graduate. I have 7 years of experience in health care working in hospitals/nursing homes as a certified nursing assistant and phlebotomist. I have been applying with no luck. Jobs are posted for new grads, then they take a lo...

A lot of hospitals have residency programs that are specifically for new graduate nurses. It is like an orientation to the hospital, nursing, floor, etc. The time ranges from 12 weeks to 1 year I have seen at some hospitals. No you are not missing an...

I totally agree with the statements that I read above. In my nursing school a majority of the individuals who went into nursing stated their reasons were, for money and stability. I am a soon to be graduate who cannot find a job. I truly am passionat...

I haven't heard anything yet either. I received a letter of rejection from a different position that I applied to at advocate, it was for a nurse clinician 1, but the job I interviewed for was entitled RN residency program. I have checked my email to...

Nothing much yet, a few places have placed my applications on hold and called me saying that they were waiting for me to be closer to graduation and passing boards. I am glad you are doing good and making good money:) I will keep the hunt on though. ...

I have done all of the above except send the reference letters with the application. Some places have an option to send these sorts documents and others don't . Usually I send and updated resume that explains about me and why I want to work for their...

Yeah MacNeal is one of the places I applied at. I called today to see why they turned down my application and the recruiter never called me back. I applied on the 5th and was rejected on the 7th. I then realized I had forgotten to take the assessmen...

I am an advanced placement student set to graduate in May of next year. I am always a very friendly person and have extended myself to try to talk to individuals in my school. It is my senior year now and I feel because I did not start with the class...

Thank you so much from everyone for your support. I am here to become a nurse, but it would just be nice to have people who can be resources and be supportive. Thanks a bunch. :)

Hi I am a senior nursing student set to graduate in May 2010. I keep hearing about the hiring freeze and it makes me wonder if I waited to late to come back to school. I have 7 years of experience in the health care field, working in and out of hospi...
