Wow Guys!! Thanks! so overwhelmed right now !I start in a week. Wish me luck!!

Thanks Haji, CCRN? wow! i though you have to have at least 2 years of critical care before you can even look at that... Got the EKG thing and ACLS algos going...it just seems like so much, but I gotta start somewhere!!:anpom: Thanks Again!!

Hi ghettogenius2010, I see you had written this a while back, hope you have a job by now, if not : Creighton University medical center is hiring. The med surg floor are pretty desperate at this time. A lot of nurse have left. They also have a new gra...

Dear Renee1126, I was in your position a few years ago. After graduation, I married a military man and was shipped off immediately overseas for 2 years. I did not work. Coming back, I had a hell of a time getting employers to take me seriously. Here ...

Cb RN you are so funny!!! " glad that nursing degree was good for something..." LOL!!!

I hear you. I have always wanted to do ER. Just like you, Iwas advised to do med surg type stuff for a year. Acute rehab was the only position open at the time, took it, (again as advised) -that it is a nice slow learning environment, excellent for ...

Relax. Deep breathing, lots of h20. This is very normal for a new RN. You JUST finished orientation, give yourself a break. You will feel like this for the next 6 months to two years. Just take it one day at a time.

Go ahead and apply. It may be a while before you get a job. At the same time apply for the license as well (get a compact license that way you get the job that opens up first. Worked for me.

:):) Hi!!! Thanks for reply. I will PM you :):):)

Hi nurses I have been looking for a job in ca for almost 7 months now...and I'm not a new grad!!! Was looking for a more challenging area of nursing, for career advancment. So in comes the " blessing in disguise". My husband who I'd military Is to be...

Woooo HOOOOOO! See!! It almost always works out in the end! Good luck on your new Job!!!!

Dear Joyfulone84, When I read your post, I felt an obligation to anwer/help/advice you as this (child care issue) has been the main reason why I have not worked in certain places or accepted certain jobs that I would have loved in the past. It haunts...

Caliotter3, thank you for taking the time to reply. Hubby is in the Military. Being gone/deployment is part of it. Even if I go with him, I won't be "with him". How is the job market in Nebraska? My fear is to go to a place with no job, no family, no...

Anyone out here? Anyone....

I would suggest Iv therapy. If its a slower more relaxed place you are looking for, both options will provide it. However I must warn that acute rehab even if the patients are not critical or high acuity, its a different kind of stress; a lot of phys...

Wow! I can't believe someone actually did that! Just a hunch.....I think he/she/(it )may not make it through nursing school anyway, and if somehow they do...they will quit/fired within the first few months on the job.

BSN replaces the one year required?! haha! Those agency recruiters (who are not nurses by the way) will say anything you want to hear to get you to sign up. That's just a "sale" to them, when you get to the facilities they will send you to...you are ...

wait...didn't you just post about being fired?!?

I agree with caliotter3, You 1st mistake was to mention your other job...its like telling them "look here i'm valuable and i got a job already so you better hurry up and kiss my a** and hire me asap or i'll go somewhere else" comes of as arrogant, ev...

Crap! I'm so sorry!!! I feel terrible for you. I too remember reading your posts; how frustrating your job hunt was and how you decided to expand your search to out of state hospitals and how exited you were to land your 1st jOb! I don't know what to...

OP, I'm sorry this happened to you. You should have "sensed' that there was something wrong when you are asked to see a patient that’s not even admitted in the hospital!! But then again I remember how it feels to be a new grad, grateful to have a j...

then get your RN...

Hi i don't think I have advice but I am in the same boat...sort of, with you. I have actually enrolled myself in a local class near where I live,. I payed about $145 for first time certification. I downloaded the study material from their website, a...
