OK. You vented. Now what? I echo the sentiments already stated by most, but I won't bother beating a dead horse. Why do you feel that you can't get into nursing programs? Most programs are looking for more than passion. Are your grades & entrance...

I've never been in a nursing leadership role, but I would have addressed the aide and reinforced client safety with her.

Unfortunately its tough out there for new grads. You are not the only one going through this. If you are only applying to hospitals, you may want to broaden your search and look for jobs outside of a hospital. Also tell EVERYONE you know you are loo...

Thanks. I tried to google the fax number and couldn't find any further info. Hmm. I think I am going to just fax my resume and see what happens. Won't be faxing my license.

Sat for NCLEX RN yesterday - 6/21/2012 Got the good pop up but I was still skeptical. Just searched the GA BON and hello! My name & license # is there. Yipppeee!! To all you future NCLEX takers, relax, have confidence. You made it through nursin...

What kind of Associates Degree are you looking to do online? Nursing? If so, its impossible to do a nursing degree completely online.

Thank you for posting. I'm a new grad nurse, this post was very inspiring.

Tell them why you are interested in working for their facility and that particular unit I'm a psych nurse at heart and the last one I went to, when the nurse manager asked me why oncology, I know I came off really fake. I intereviewd for my first psy...

Interesting. I don't know what to say. I've been to 2 new grad job fairs and I have never seen anything like that. Matter of fact, for the first one, a group of us had fun going suit shopping at the mall. People lined up at the various stations, the...

Congratulations!! I am so happy for you!

Another quick question, I was going to send the nurse manager a thank you note tomorrow. Should I send one to the HR manager as well? I spoke to her a little bit before meeting the nurse manager and then after the interview so should I send her a t...

That is insane. If I were in her shoes, I would not sit back and take that. She is paying for an education and she should get what she paid for. I would feel very short changed. Never heard of such a thing.

Congrats!

Thanks Meriwhen. I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed that I get this job. Psych nursing is my passion so I'm excited at this prospect. Hoping all goes well. Itsmejuli, yes, until I have an official job offer, I will still be applying to other pl...

I had an interview at a psych facility today As someone else mentioned, I was asked about the psych nurse's role How do I handle stressful situations. Why Psych and this was a child/adolescent facility so why child psych? What do you think is import...

Pearsonvue quick results in 48 hrs but you may be able to find out sooner. My name was on GA BON website within 24 hrs. I didn't bother paying for quick results so check your state's BON before paying for the quick results.

Select all that apply

Thanks for that list! I saw an ad for a weight loss clinic looking for an RN a few days ago. Sent my resume but have not heard anything. Its something else to be on the look out for if you are looking for a non hospital job at the moment.

Yeah better than doing nothing at all. On another website, someone said the schedules were first come first serve, so she stalked the schedule all the time so she could get enough shifts and did shifts that were even far away. LOL. Still not sure ho...

You may want to try searching your state Board of Nursing before paying for the quick results. I'm in GA and my name and license # was on the BON website 24 hrs after I took the NCLEX. Didn't bother paying for the quick results.

Congrats!

That really sucks. Sorry you are going through this. Its really unfortunate. Don't give up hope though, with determination you can achieve your dreams. I actually scored lower than you did on the Math compass. 16!!! - I scored high 90's on the other...

Hey guys, I'm looking for suggestions to help me land my first psych RN job. I know the job market out there is tough for new grads and frequently on AllNurses I see people suggest that new grads should do more than just apply online and fax resume...

Thanks for posting. I had some of these very questions thrown at me for a new grad position a week ago. Didn't get it and I have to say I was totally unprepared for the interview. It was 2 days before my NCLEX date and I was so worked up about taking...

I was given a plastic board and marker. Not paper and pencil. I was told you can make notes on it AFTER you have completed the tutorial. Anything written on it before that is considered brain dumping and is not allowed. Also, the time you take to do...
