    heron21 replied to filipinathomasiannur's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    heron21 replied to bigp71's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Unless you are applying to a facility where you completed your clinical, then I would not have listed your clinical sites. All nursing programs require clinicals, so your clinical list does nothing to...

  3. Getting a job as a brand new RN?

    heron21 replied to Nursing2102's topic in General Students

    Job market is super tough for new grads especially in NJ/NY area. My recommendation is to start networking DURING your clinicals. That's how I got my job as a new grad. I emailed a nurse manager on a...

  4. My Dilemma

    heron21 replied to UcStudentNurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  7. What to wear to an "Open House Interview Day"

    heron21 replied to coopman712's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    heron21 replied to 2bEsqtoRN's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I'm currently in the RU ABSN program and can attest to the program requirements. While they cannot advertise preference for RU grads, it is known that this is the case. As it was explained to me, the...
