  1. Transfer RN License from Nevada to CA

    the smack posted a topic in California Nursing

    Hi! I'm about to start the nursing program here in Las Vegas. I plan to move back home to CA as soon as I graduate and pass NCLEX. I just wanted to know if anyone has any info on how to or how...

  2. New grad offered a job

    the smack posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am a new grad from Miami and have been looking for a job since I graduated last May. Well I finally was offered a position in Williston, ND. Those of you who live there know the housing situation....

  3. Feeling so discouraged

    the smack replied to tugirl12's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It sounds like you're burnt out on the floor and not nursing in general. If you like women's health then start applying to those units. Yes they are heard to get into but it doesn't hurt to try. Go...

  4. A few questions, please

    the smack replied to dianne777RN's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Hi. Are you sure the hospice nurse wasn't talking about the Atropine being prescribed for secretions? Or maybe she mixed up her meds and said Morphine but meant to say

  5. I have an interview in a level 1 trauma center, need advice!

    the smack replied to k-flo's topic in Emergency

    My jaw literally dripped when I read this. I graduated last May and right now I am fighting tooth and nail for a HOSPICE job. I'm going in for a second interview in the morning. If I was in your...

  6. Which job would you take?

    the smack posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Ok I've had two interviews this week after 7 months of applying. One is for an inpatient hospice unit in a hospital. It's not working directly for the hospital but for a hospice company that is...

  7. Which job would you take?

    the smack replied to the smack's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    So first I got a call this morning from the hospice HR telling me to come in for a second interview with the PCA. I'm going in tomorrow morning. Then the oncology clinic called me telling me to come...

  8. Which job would you take?

    the smack replied to the smack's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks bebbercorn! I hope one of these jobs comes through. I'm just asking on the off chance I actually get two offers. I think you're right. I'll probably take the hospice job but I'm worried that if...

  9. Feeling like a stalker....

    the smack replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If u have an offer somewhere else, I would shoot her a text and ask if she has any idea when she can get u in for an interview. Let her know ur situation. Honesty is the best policy. If she really...

  10. What's the job market like in Florida right now? New grad.

    the smack replied to bluebeetle7's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm in Miami and it's HORRIBLE here! I have been looking for work since last June. And I'm not picky either. I'll spin signs on a corner for anyone who will hire me as an RN. It's

  11. New grad offered a job

    the smack replied to the smack's topic in General Nursing

    They were actually really nice about it. I explained my situation and she told me she'll hang on to my paperwork as long as it takes. I hope I can make this work but I'm not holding my breath. Good...

  12. New grad offered a job

    the smack replied to the smack's topic in General Nursing

    No I didn't. I'm having trouble also because we have kids and need help with them. I don't think I'll be able to take the job

  13. Preparation for post grad job?

    the smack replied to 2bNurseCai's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    In my opinion, stay where u are. It is highly unlikely that u will be hired as a CNA anywhere especially if u are an ADN grad. They don't want to hire us because they know we're only there until we...

  15. Dissapointed new grad

    the smack replied to 10yang's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm also a May grad and August licensed. This is by far the most frustrating experience of my life. I'm in Miami and there are very few opportunities with thousands of applicants. Here is a...

  16. Which state to take the NCLEX? Endorsement from VA to FL?

    the smack replied to livingcj_RN's topic in Nursing Career

    I don't mean to rain on your parade but good luck finding a job in Florida ?. It is very tough here. What part are you moving to? I'm originally from So Cal, went to nursing school in Las Vegas, and...

  17. Trying to find a job and doing my hospital research but don't know how to approach it

    the smack replied to tytta73's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    As a fellow new grad who has been on the job hunt since last May, I will tell you that you will likely have to e pand your search. The chances of you scoring an ICU position right now are slim. Even...

  18. Didn't get the job

    the smack replied to yourstrulyjmc's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm so sorry. I'm also a May '12 grad and I haven't gotten a single interview yet. I'm in the Miami area and I'm new to the area so I have it pretty bad. No connections whatsoever. It's pretty...

  19. Passed my Boards Last Week, I got a Job...Confused

    the smack replied to IloveNursing2214's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Good luck with your interview! But I have to say, if that does not pull through, TAKE THE OTHER JOB! Take it from me...I graduated in May 2012, then moved from Las Vegas to Miami, passed my boards...
