You are not the first person to make a medication error and with the current healthcare system the way it is.. you won't be the last. It is tough emotionally because all eyes are on you and people begin to question your judgement. Don't think for one second that the hospital will back you up, the nurse is the first person that the hospital will throw under the bus. Protect yourslef and protect your license.. good nurse liability insurance helps. The good thing is that no harm to the patient. As we say in the military trust no one..check it and check it again. Please seek counseling and talk about it (face to face) with a licensed professional within your community. Best wishes to you.

Here is a link to each state's unemplyment rate. There may or may not be a correlation between the states unemployment rate and available nursing jobs...especially for new graduates. http://www.bls.gov/web/laus/laumstrk.htm Best of luck to all still looking for a job.

One of the reasons why I went into the nursing profession is the diversity and flexibilty of specialties available. At the end of the day, the decision is yours but make a list of pros and cons of the current job position you are in. explore other nursing specialties.There are fields like nursing administration, nursing informatics, health information management. With your 2 years of experience, you can pretty much do anything and go anywhere. You already have your year worth of experience. Maybe you could speak to a seasoned nurse that you may trust to ask them how they survived being a nurse for 10-20-or 30 years. I wish you the best in your decision. keep me posted.

if the military is an option. go for it! Most military branches will offer loan repayment, then after you served and your loans are paid..go back to school to be a bsn prepared nurse tuition free. (Post 9/11 GIBILL) Best, CL

Congratulations on passing the NCLEX! Whewww! At least that is done. I guess it all depends on where in NY you want to work. I am licensed in NJ and have been thinking about working in NY (manhattan). However, there are very few if any jobs for new grads anywhere in the tri state area. If you have the option.. look else where. I graduated in December 2010 and I am still looking for a job. I do not have the option to move so I will have to ride the wave of unemployment. Other things to do: volunteer, certification classes, nursing home if they hire new grads. Best, CL

Is the military hiring?

Very interesting article from AJN asking the question..is there a nursing shortage? What say the nurse recruiters/ hiring managers about this issue?? AJN REPORTS: Nursing Shortage, or Not? Roxanne Nelson BSN, RN AJN, American Journal of Nursing May 2009 Volume 109 Number 5 Pages 21 - 23 To me, it all boils down to the bottom line. Money. Why would a hospital organization who may already be struggling financially want to spend thousands of dollars to train a new graduate RN in this "business" of health care?? The only solution I have for the hiring freeze for graduate RN's in NJ who actually have to stay in the area or want to stay in the profession would be to volunteer at the hospital where you want to work, continuing your education..ACLS, BLS/ certification/online classes, review nursing content, review case scenarios... Do something to keep you mind busy. It is so easy to fall into the rut of depression. Take care of your minds and bodies so that when you do get an interview you would be able to enthusiastically answer the question "why did you become a nurse?" Thank you all for reading.. and best wishes to all those still looking for a job as a RN..

bmichel18 Hi. I am a new grad as well and looking for employment in the Philly area. Maybe you have checked the website before but there is a graduate nurse position at the Temple University Hospital Career website that opened up 11/2010. I hope that someone is willing to give us a chance to learn and grow. https://hr.templehealth.org/psp/hrapp/CAREERS/HRMS/c/TU_CUSTOM_MENU.TU_LOGINID.GBL&SiteId=2 Best Wishes..
