   kkia123 replied to Breezy Girl's topic in New Nurse

4. Why graduate nurses can't find jobs- a must read!!!

   kkia123 replied to ttreeds's topic in New Nurse

   I really hate how the experienced RN's view new grads. We are not just expecting the best positions and the best hours. Most people, nurses or not, know how to act when they first begin a job. I wish that I could hear some more encouraging words from...

   kkia123 replied to kkia123's topic in General Nursing

   Yes this is what I am doing now. I start January...another issue I am having is whether to get a BSN or use my two degrees to do a MSN program. Again, I still paid for a license, passed my test and should be able to work while I am in pursuit of anot...

7. Just an Idea for New Grads who can't find jobs.....

   kkia123 replied to k.morris's topic in New Nurse

   So funny because you and I are doing the same thing. I have been a substitute nurse now for a little over a month. One of the nurses in my district is out on medical leave and I am filling in for her! It is definitely making the days go by easier and...

   It is like this all over NY...The Nurse Spectrum job fair I attended was in NYC, and there were only two hospitals from Long island there. One of which was North Shore Long Island Jewish system, which is the third largest hospital system in NY. They ...

    kkia123 replied to NurseStudentYay's topic in New Nurse

    I have an AS and I have been turned down by every hospital in the New York area!!!! I have a BS in health science. I had planned to bridge me nursing degree with my BS to get a MSN. But I can't even get a job! I can not afford to pay for more schooli...

    kkia123 replied to kkia123's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you...I just bought a house and my poor husband has to pay the bulk of the bills. As of now I have two pointless degrees and potentially a third when I waste more money and go back to school still having no hospital experience!
