I'm still doing my pre-reqs (heading toward RN) so I'm aware I'm putting the horse way before the cart here;I like to go into things with my eyes open though.... I'm seeing job offers for new grads posted as "Residence nursing" and "Entry Level Rn Staff". Can anyone explain the difference to me? Secondly, my hope is to work the night shift. Have any of you been hired onto third shift right out of school? My scheduling in the future is an important issue...this may seem a bit bizarre but it would be such a help to hear what people's first jobs were "right out of the gate". Besides being a help I would just be really interested to hear what your first jobs were. Thanks in advance, I sure enjoy reading what the "pros" have to say here. Katie
