Can any of you guys tell me how you did it?? I've applied to various nursing homes because hospitals aren't hiring, but even the nursing homes are telling me I need 6 months to 1 year LTC experience....
I just need clarification.. I understand that some LTC facilities are broken up into different units like a ventilator unit and so on.. But is sub-acute care counted as its own unit in LTC? I guess...
Still searching for my first RN job, however my BLS expired.. I'm currently looking for low-priced classes in my area (I'm in NYC, there's no such thing as a low-priced anything here lol). As of now,...

Not everyone is in nursing for "patient-care" and I know that sounds bad but it really isn't.. No one loves EVERY aspect of their career and they don't have to.. There's many reasons to enter the...
I just got the "Failure to Respond to Jury Summons" letter. I was in school for nursing at the time I got the letter for jury duty and didn't go. I didn't even have the TIME to go. But I don't think...
I didn't ask for anyone's sympathy... I skipped out on jury duty, I'm not denying that, but I'm asking if any of the consequences from this can end up on my record, preventing me from getting certain...

Whether you are a new grad or an experienced nurse, explain and share your story for inquiring minds. What ultimately lead you to your first nursing position? How did you feel? How persistent were...
In the past I've done a one month student nurse internship at a hospital; it was about 7 months ago and I got a stipend for it. A few months before that, I did a similar internship at a different...
Yes I am a new grad ADN. I did work for summer youth employment last year and it was also at a hospital. I mostly did clerical work, but I don't know if recruiters would take that job seriously as it...
Some hospitals give us a choice of faxing, e-mailing, or mailing our resume to the Nurse recruiter/HR (online applications are blahhh). I want to know which route is the best to ensure that my resume...
So I'm thinking about e-mailing my resume to the facility I really really want to work at. I am going to attach my resume and type my cover letter in the body. This is okay,
I'm not sure how accurate this trick is. However, i tried it and it didn't let me go to the CC page. Later, I found out that I passed. I am praying for your
