  1. Going Backwards

    If I can respond for Amarilla in my reply, I'd say it's harder in NJ because facilities ask so much of new grads. Hospitals want 3-5 yrs experience in North NJ (near NYC); agencies don't have the capacity to train new grads, so they can't send you on...
  2. Going Backwards

    This has always been my downfall. I lack confidence & I'm scared to ask for help. The whole "dealing with humans" aspect of nursing terrifies me even more. People expect you to have all the answers when your a nurse; I don't feel I have any answe...
  3. Going Backwards

    I've been considering a refresher course since I graduated nursing school but could never afford it (not exactly making nursing money, or any money right now). I'm just grasping at straws now. I'll keep looking everywhere for anything, then when I ca...
  4. Going Backwards

    Thanks everyone 4 ur replies & support. I really appreciate it.
  5. Going Backwards

    I've been an RN in NJ for 2 years now. I've had a 3 nursing jobs totaling 6 months experience. I worked at a summer camp last year & "mutually separated" from my employer 2 weeks before camp ended. I gave flu shots last Fall (seasonal position). ...
  6. Idaho's fee is $110 (+ $25 for a temporary) & if ur state participates in NURSYS (license verification), that's $30.
  7. Settling for less

    Thx Ashley! I've tried everywhere. I actually got hired at a camp but I can't afford to go b/c my current job just cut hrs & camp don't pay until the end. Anyway, I'm not big on networking. I'm very shy & none of my fam has any medical connec...
  8. Settling for less

    I'm getting desperate! I graduated in 12/2009 with an ADN, I've been licensed for 8 months & am still looking for work. I got my 1st interview a couple months ago & have had only one other since. I know others have been looking for way longer...
  9. Should I become ACLS or PALS certified?

  11. Reality Check for Nursing Hopefuls

    Where do you live? It's been 2 years since I've graduated, I'm itching to get back in the hospital.
  12. Reality Check for Nursing Hopefuls

    In which state? I would relocate for work!!!
  13. What types of questions to ask during an Interview?

    I'm a (not so) new grad who just got hired for a camp nurse position in PA. I'd like to know how your 1st camp experience was & have you/are you planning on going back?
  14. The military requires BSN. I looked into that too.
  15. For new grads looking for their first job

    I don't think it's what you know or how much experience you have anymore. It's WHO you know. Many of my classmates have found jobs thru the connections they made during nursing school. Stupid me was too busy trying to pass.
