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 easy/hard it is to transfer into CA? I tried calling t...

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. I've been all over craigslist trying to find a plac...

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 down to those units where you work and try to get ch...

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 Atropine.

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 position I would be doing back flips! Take the job!

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 located on a floor in the hospital. The other is for an ...

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 in Tuesday to shadow the nurse and get a feel for i...

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 the oncology one offers first, what will I say? I...

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 wants to see u she'll get u in quickly. It would be a...

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 bad...

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 luck in your interview and in finding a place!!

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 :-(

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 find the RN position. The responsibilities u have at...

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 suggestion: if you are willing to relocate, look into Mercy...

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 moved to Miami after graduation. This was in May la...

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 LTC wants a year of experience. Good luck to you!

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 depressing. I hope I don't pass the year mark with no opp...

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 here in August, and I still have not even been fortun...

Hi everyone. I'm a new grad (May 2012) still on the hunt for my first job. I went to school in Las Vegas, NV and moved to miami, FL when I graduated. I am having absolutely ZERO luck. I have done everything I can as far as applying. I have not on...

Hello everyone, I am in need of some desperate help. Here is some background information: I just graduated in May with an Associate's degree from a school in Las Vegas, NV. Now I live in Miami, FL and the problem with that is I do not know ANYBODY....

Hi! I am a nursing student and will (knock on wood) be graduating in May 2012. I live in Las Vegas right now where I'm attending school. I will be moving to Miami after I graduate and will take my NCLEX in Florida. My questions are: Are there many n...

Ok will do. But, I still need to know if I need to be bilingual to get a job down there...

I start on Aug 30th. Today we had our second round of orientation and our ATI testing. I'm nervous because I have no medical experience and I don't want to look like a dope. I'm hoping I can manage my busy life. I have 4 classes a week including clin...

Hi, I am entering CSN's full time program this August. They do 6-hr clinical rotations once a week for first semester. You either get the morning rotation or the afternoon rotation. This all depends on what number in line you are, which is drawn rand...
