  2. Does School Name Matter???

    linRdsNay replied to mochagirl26's topic in California Nursing

    I don't really think it matters...I went to a private school, graduated in Dec 09, and haven't found a job let alone even gotten an interview from the 30+ applications I've sent out. If you're willing...

    linRdsNay replied to Gem0607's topic in California Nursing

    linRdsNay replied to JeanettePNP's topic in First Year After Licensure

    ^ I do understand the financial burden hospitals take on when bringing in new grads, however I feel they are doing a greater disservice to themselves by not preparing themselves for the future. We...

  6. Unable to relocate

    linRdsNay replied to D1914's topic in First Year After Licensure

    nothing, but what i've met with (currently I hold a license in CA) is that other states are reluctant to bring in people from out of state because "they want to hire nurses from their local schools"....

  7. Are new grads contributing to the nursing job shortage?

    linRdsNay replied to JeanettePNP's topic in First Year After Licensure

    you paint a pretty grim picture...what do you suggest all us new grads do then? We put the time, money and effort into becoming a nurse only to be turned away countless times by hospitals, SNF's,...

  8. E-mailing Recruiters

    linRdsNay replied to mindaay's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was told by my instructors that you should always put the BSN (or MSN or whatever you have) before the RN. This is because although you could lose your license (the RN), no one can ever take your...

  9. How i landed a new grad position

    linRdsNay replied to SKYSTHELIMIT's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Things must be different on the west coast. I also graduated in Dec 09 but quickly after took the boards to get my license. Over here, no one will even look at your resume if you don't have your...

    linRdsNay replied to saraaileen76's topic in First Year After Licensure

  14. NCLEX TEST similarity to ATI program

    linRdsNay replied to longsdoxies's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I had to take the ATI for my bachelors program as well. I found the questions on the ATI to be easier than the questions on the NCLEX. The ATI, although very long, was straight forward and for the...
