I was jsut wondering as a new grad would a hospital be willing to hire a RN as a unit assistant or nursing assistant? Or would they be afraid that the RN would do something our of their scope of practice as a nursing assistant? I can not find a job as a RN anywhere so I figured I would apply as a OB unit assistant. I do not care about how much I make or anything like that. I just want the experience and to show the hospital I am a great asset so a few years down the road I might be able to get in as a RN. I currently decided I am going back for my BSN degree since I cant find a job and my husband bearly makes enough to cover bills as is (not to mention my school loans comming up). So whats your opinion do you think a hospital will hire a new grad RN for any other hospital position?

Can anyone tell me the best place to get BLS, PALS, and ACLS certified? and the costs? Is it better to take it online or in a class? Any advice would be helpful. :redpinkhe

At Ohio State if you are going for ASN you have to take algebra and statistics. In some states you have to take calculus for the BSN program. In RN school the calculations are easy to get ahold of as long as you remember the conversions (ie) 15mls in 1 tablespoon and so on. The IV calculations can get tricky just practice them a lot and you will get it.

Thanks I thought about doing that. Its finding the money to do it is the hard part.

Im a new RN living on the indiana/ohio state border and I am have no luck on getting a job. Everyone wants experience and I don't have anything other than clinical experience. I have always had a job for the last 10 years (since I was 15), but only in customer service and cooking. I have even been an assistant manager for a few years. I am CPR certified and have both my Indiana and Ohio license. Is there anything I can do/not do on my resume and applications? ANY advice would be helpful. I really feel like I'm letting my family down after all the support they have given me.
