Hello nurses! I just graduated December 20,2009 as a RN, BSN and it is so tough to find a job right now. I live in the Silicon Valley and it is like a war zone here! I am willing to relocate, possibly to Florida or Oregon but my priority is still in...

Thank you for your input. The encouragement gives me hope. Some day I will get it like how I finally got med surg. How long did it take for you to feel comfortable?

Medsurg, surgical/ ortho floor, cardiac floor, l and d, mother and baby, ICU, ER etc...Let us hear your opinion!

I don't think I could ever do LTC. The idea of 30 plus confused old patients with risk of falls stresses me out. Dealing with one at night is usually enough to make my good night turn bad. Hat off to LTC nurses!

Thanks for all your input!

I am currently working night shift on medsurg and it is stressful. Although the stress level was ×2 during day shift. I have a very supportive crew and charge nurse at night so it makes it better. They cannot pay me enough to make me go back to day ...

Are there any new graduates program for Panama City Florida? What are some hospitals there? I have only found two, Gulf Medical Center and Bay Medical Center.

Thanks a bunch!

I am sure many of the old graduates have the same concern. I graduated on December 2009 so I am still considered as a new graduate RN but I am getting concern about the one year mark. I have applied for RN transition programs and had been rejected....

to wannabe07, I am taking an ACLS class at the end of this month. I am also taking an IV/blood certification class. I hope that helps! I am planning to get a Florida license and applying there. Thanks you guys for your advice!

Not California, in the Bay Area, many people have not found a job even after a year.
