Of my 12 patient's I cared for last night, 11 of them were Peds. No it's not usually the case but I would say I at least see 1-3 kids a night. You can have the best of both worlds in the Emergency Room. Go for it.
I got a phone call about 2 weeks ago asking about my application. The second question was "do you have your BSN". The lady said they are only interviewing BSN's right now. If they have space for an interview after they are done with them, they might call me back.
Took me over 350 applications and 7 different states to finally get a job. Almost 10 months of intensive searching and applying. I would say there is a shortage of experienced nurses. New grads. are having a hell of a time finding jobs.
