hey guys, i so want to do it too because i think it will make a huge difference between us and the other new grads but it is expensive. I am still trying to get everything together and hope i will be able to do it. And on the website they also said that they will help with job placement, it's a great opportunity. I'm also considering home health at this time, i cannot find a job and it is just sad but I'm hopeful and we all have to be, the new year will be better!!!

new grad residency, 4months, check the link but there is a catch we are the one paying for the residency http://sn.umdnj.edu/cont_ed/nurseresidency.htm

hey guys, just curious, I would like to know if anybody out there interested in doing the residency at UMDNJ in FEB 2010?

yes that's so true, we definitely have to be unconventional, thank you for your advice though, i just get so frustrated at times but I'll keep going, thanks

thanks for your reply, I will definitely try, as long as i have a job i don't mind traveling. Congrats on the job!!If you don't mind are you in the NJ/NY areas? i can't believe u find a job in a hospital, congrats again!!

I am actually looking for a night shift but it is weird, I cannot find anything. When I fill my application, I check all the available shifts, i am not in a position of choosing, i just want a job

thank you, i check!! that's very nice of u!! and i let u know what happens!!

Hey everybody, I am a new grad May 09 licensed in NY and NJ. I cannot find a job, I am totally desperate, I have applied everywhere, nursing homes, home heath, hospitals, clinics, agencies, believe me when i say everywhere but still nothing. I wonder if there is anything am doing wrong and it hurts. what am i supposed to do? what strategies did u guys use? i have 2 kids that i need to take care of and this is not helping at all, any advise?

Is anybody actually considering doing the residency at umdnj?

hey guys, i am also an F1 students on OPT. This retrogression thing is so depressing. And with the economy jobs are ridiculously hard to get as a new grad. I am currently still looking for a job, it is very hard and I am planning to register for my master program in the coming fall however most masters program need u to have at least one year experience that I don't have yet, I better find a job quickly!! because I definitely have to go back to school after my OPT!!

love night shift!!

congrats on the job, OMG how did u get a job in a hospital in this economy as a new grad? u will be fine, the beginning in everything is most of the time stressful, pay her no mind and just learn the most you can from her and the orientation will be over soon. she reminds me of one of my clinical instructor, they can be very hard but sometimes it is for the best. And even if you feel that she is been unfair just brush it off, it will be over soon!! Good luck!!

congrats K morris on the job, that is awesome even without benefits!!I had a proposition in home health peds also, but I am still waiting for my license to be endorsed to start working there. How do u like it? congrats again!!

hey guys, I have been reading your post, it is so motivating and interesting. I am a new grad, just got my license in October but I am so exhausted and frustrated,I cannot find a job!! couples of interviews here and there but still nothing yet. It just eats me not finding a job, then I have decided to do something more productive : LOSE MY BABY WEIGHT. I actually started this morning, I would like to lose probably 30 lbs. My current weight is 189 lbs and it will help to be able to vent somewhere

good luck lollipop28, i'll be praying for u!!!
