    New Grads that have Jobs: what do you advise for the rest of us

    AFwife727 replied to estrellaCR's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have found the ASC association website for my state (Florida) but it doesn't have any link or information about where to apply for jobs or send a resume. I'm going to try to email someone there and...

    Losing Hope.

    AFwife727 replied to AFwife727's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Checking back in with you guys. I'm still not employed. Still sending out apps but not as diligently as I was before. Opportunities are fewer and farther in between now since I tapped out every...

    AFwife727 replied to AFwife727's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks for your words of advice. I've sent my resume to a staffing agency via a referral from a former recruiter there (Maxim staffing and home care) and I've put in 2 apps for a dialysis company that...

    AFwife727 replied to calivianya's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm in the SAME boat. It is ridiculous and I am so frustrated. And they all say, "keep applying"... I have interview after interview and then they say No. How can we keep applying if it's in their...

    Feedback requested before I give 2 weeks notice!

    AFwife727 replied to Nurse-E Girl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Don't do it. It's nearly impossible to get a job in this market. I would sit tight and hold onto that job. Heck, I'd love to take your job. It's been that difficult to get one. Request to meet...

    AFwife727 replied to AFwife727's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Doctors' offices and clinics really only hire nurses with experience. Sounds like this is going to be nearly impossible. I'm on LinkedIn and I'm on there everyday trying to find people that might be...

    You need to have strong assessment skills, apparently. I've been looking at that area too but they only seem to hire experienced

    I'm in the same position. I'm an RN-BSN. I've been searching since December and have had multiple interviews - and even 2nd interviews for facilities. Only to be told NOPE, someone more "qualified"...

    Shadowing interview!

    AFwife727 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hello all. I am a new grad BSN nurse. I have a hospital interview tomorrow in which they want me to shadow the unit. Has anyone gone through this type of interview and have any helpful tips or advice...

    Shadowing interview!

    AFwife727 replied to AFwife727's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I didn't get the position. And they made me discuss accommodations that I'd need if I were to be hired. I'm honestly ticked off and hurt at this

    AFwife727 replied to BostonTerrierLover's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Wish I had seen this before the 7 interviews I've had! This information is a must-read. I am a new grad nurse (BSN). I don't even have a cover letter and never thought I needed one. I'm...

    Shadowing interview!

    AFwife727 replied to AFwife727's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm definitely not waiting on this one hospital. She (again) said they should know by the end of the week so I am not sure if I should call them before then to check in. Seems like there's no point...

    Shadowing interview!

    AFwife727 replied to AFwife727's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Decision still hasn't been made. They always push back the dates and tell me they ended up having interviews go into next week. Doesn't look too good for me. I wanted to ask, is it even worth it to...

    AFwife727 replied to lvnlrn's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I'm a new grad nurse. I'm in the same boat. Gonna go to voc rehab because I've been turned down by FOUR of the major area hospitals (could quite possibly be 5 by the end of the week). I have a...

    Well. Went to the meeting. It was yet another interview with nursing leadership this time. This time we fully discussed what accommodations I would need if hired. First time I've had this conversation...

    AFwife727 replied to AFwife727's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    So I interviewed and it went well. I get an email from the recruiter that she was happy to say that the director felt the same :) Now they want me to meet with the nursing leadership (ACNO/CNO, not...

    AFwife727 replied to AFwife727's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks for your response! That's exactly what is going to happen - meeting with the director for 45 min then shadowing for 2 hrs. They want me to wear scrubs to the interview. I plan on trying to...

    New RN had 1st interview need some advice

    AFwife727 replied to soccerchick's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I went through this with all of my interviews. You need to be in touch with them so they don't forget you. It also shows that you're on top of things. But call the recruiter, not the director/manager...

    New Grad Nurse Can't Find Job

    AFwife727 replied to AFwife727's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Rabid, thanks for your comment. I got a call yesterday and was turned down by the hospital so that's out of the question. I've come to the conclusion that once they realize I'm hearing impaired and...

    Do employers look at what Nursing Program you went to?

    AFwife727 replied to HappyBee's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    No nurse should ever have to pay that much money for a BSN! Sounds like a scam to me. Definitely not worth it... I would run as fast as possible in the opposite direction, lol. There are plenty of...
