Congratulations! I am a new grad BSN RN. Where and what facility/company are you working for?

This is a very old post :-) However, I am a new grad RN looking for a position. Are you still hiring in your area or in MD?

ebony- your words are inspiring. i did a 2nd degree bsn and have primarily admin experience. i am too looking for an admin job and you are absolutely right that it depends on how you sell yourself and you will have to learn new things at a job. i have also been offered a ltc position. what area are you and what type of company you are working?

It really depends on where you want to work and the type of organization as to who will be the first person to contact and screen you..I think for larger organizations it is HR and in smaller organizations, it is the DON or Nurse Manager..That's been my experience. Hope that helps!

This is all great input. I have a similar question..I graduated in December 2009 (BSN) and passed the NCLEX in February..I would like to take some time off to find the right position. I know the market is tight right now, however, I am willing to wait rather than take a position that might not be the best fit..I was wondering how long past graduation is I guess too long to wait. I am giving myself a year, but want to remain an attractive applicant to employers. Anyone here wait a year or so before working as an RN after passing the boards? Or, does anyone have insight on waiting a while after graduation and how that may affect future employment as an RN? Any thoughts are appreciated. Thank you

Thanks for your response and insight/advice RNMLIS

I beg to differ and believe that posting is simply sexist. There is something about the nursing field that makes women more like hens thany any other field..yes, there is estrogen floating around, but i have worked in other fields with many women and have never seen anyone act like the way they do in nursing. this eating their young thing and behaving in petty ways is unprofessional and a shame. it's a culture that needs to be changed.

That sounds terrible. In what areas have you worked/been to Genesis facilities? Just curious bc I am a new grad RN and have an upcoming interview with them...
