It is totally new to me. You can tell I haven't been around for that long. It use to be expensive the way it was before. Gee wiz, you know?

Thanks! I have been a nurse since 2005. It took me almost 3 years to find work after I finished my last travel assignment in the ICU at the end of '08. I thought I was the BEST when I moved back to my hometown, but found out not so much.

I worked with them in AZ they were great to me. I worked registry and then obtained a 13-week assignment since the facility liked me so much.

I have long hair down my back. I do a bun, french braids, up dos, etc. I always keep it off my neck, because I don't want it flying in wounds or feces. I had long hair through out. There are plenty of tutorials on YouTube for hairstyles. I always me...

Try the Rehab Hospitals too. They hire New Grads.

I work agency for LTACHs and get paid more than what was mentioned. I am not an ER nurse so I can only give you what I know from myself. I am sure you would get paid more than I would with your specialty. But, what was posted would sound right for a...

After working agency for awhile. I found that if a New Grad gets a position in a Rehab Hospital in MA, you can pretty much work anywhere after a year. They seem to be getting jobs with no difficulties through this route. If someone from MA wants to m...

OMG! lmao! Well, I didn't have to do it, my agency called the next day with hours. I am telling you not to be religious, but God really was on my side. I haven't been here since I have been working my bumb off. I didn't give up. But, now I have to st...

MA all of it. My career is over.

You know what I am doing working as a topless maid. I don't care if I get kicked off the site for pouring salt on the wound. Tried everything for 3 years to get work. Long list of excuses... not good enough, travel nursing made you a job hopper, degr...

Yes, we should have one so people like me who can't find a job will be called this like I did today by a conservative, "In other words & I mean this with all due respect - take a long walk off a short peer you little worthless creep." The love!...

That is true too even I notice LTC now. Just another excuse to wean out many applicants. But, it was funny I had an interview that said they had too many and then they were looking again a month later. Noble Peace prize maybe?

Once you start passing out Medications more it will just be stuck in your head. I started my career in a nursing home and had to pass out so many medications that eventually it stuck with me, once I got into Med/Surg it was all go from there. Every s...

I work for an agency, but they never call me to work. So I am still looking for a permanent position. Your welcome and good luck.

Totally okay! I am in a different location and I can't work day shift. You will find something just keep on trying Indeed and Craigslist. Sometimes too, the Unemployment boards post jobs before the Internet boards do.

No dear I am experienced nurse who has been looking for 3 years. I need advice myself, but I sure know about how to take tests, lmao! I never knew how to take tests in Nursing School though, go figure.

Most exams are what you would use in your career, such as the formulas, medication administration, dosages, etc. As long as you know these you should be okay.

You can always Google Nursing Pharmacology or Nursing Pharmacology Quizzes. Find ones to use that are suitable for you. Most have everything you need such a formulas, the answers, and an explanation when you get the answer wrong. This is what I do to...

Sorry, but it is the second thread about people being negative. Except the other one was from a New Grad. So the consensus is we are all negative in some way. It isn't meant to be a joke and I think you have a sense of humor.

I live in MA no wonder why I never get any "real" jobs or any hours. I am going on year 3 here. I try to move, but if you can't work you can't save. Relocating is so much money these days. Oh yes because of gas prices. No one wants to pay. I was so c...

No after not being able to find a job for so long I was wondering what is going on? Guess I was just a walking pawn. You know I had a Sociology Professor tell me I should be in Congress so yeah I hear ya.

I am sorry but this is like the best topic. I am really into this kind of thing. How did I miss this? I didn't even know there was this section on Politics in here. YOU MADE MY NIGHT! No really you did. :redpinkhe

What were we talking about again? :dncgcpd:

They are hiring for many of their Critical Care programs too. It seems to be the new trend these days with many hospitals. Oh voy!

Probably, on Friday I was talking to a travel agency recruiter who said they send travelers to their hospital all the time. All my recruiter said via email that they canceled my interview that they had no more openings. It is very possible to fill th...
