I do not believe that there will ever be enough money in the universe to be a nurse on a "bad day" but honestly....12K a month is probably never going to happen, however, I just graduated in February, I have found my first job, 30 dollars an hour base and all the hours I need, the paychecks are pretty nice. I don't know what you mean by "real money"

I am happy to read about this. I am a new grad nurse, and I was having some difficulty finding a job....so I have two per diem30 jobs in LTC, and I have up to 30 patients....I have only worked a few times on my own....but my 8 AM med pass runs into my 12 PM meds...which then run into 2 PM....then I have to stay so late to chart and catch up....I hope that it gets better with experience...that will be my only saving grace. Right now everytime I get home I feel like the worst nurse in the universe....and I have worked so hard to be a RN, but my excitement is dwindling

I passed the NCLEX, received my license, and I decided to relocate to Las Vegas, NV. Every hospital and health system I have applied to, will not even consider me for employment as a new graduate. I worked for 2 years as a student nurse during nursing school, and I have an additional bachelor degree and master degree....what else can I do? Any advice? What can make me stand out compared to others for the few positions that are available?
