So.............I graduated about a year ago from a nursing diploma program (in NJ).......and when I left school and passed the NCLEX, I had all this vigor and eagerness to get my Nursing career started. I basically was really excited to earn the titl...

Well. "Right now" I'm working on getting back into the workforce. I've been out since my second son was born in 2013. Let me also add that I have moved from northern New Jersey to Northern Virginia. Before that from 2010 to 2013. I was working in ...

Yeah. I found that out after the fact. That's why I said in my last post people need to look into any program they intend to join. Though I did get one consideration from a hospital way up in northern new york state. Unfortunately my fiance at the...

Not quite gone yet RNsRWe. Got email alerts. Anyways. I think you wrote a good response. To be honest I never got a job in nursing. I spent about a year and half looking in my area NJ/NYC metro from March 2010 to September 2011...then...gave up. Le...

Definitely would have worked as a CNA in a hospital while in school. I think first this would have allowed me to network with in that hospital (for a better shot of employment) and two it would have showed on my resume that I did extensive have prac...

Graduated in January 2010 with a diploma. I have been looking for over a year and have not landed a job. I've only had 3 interviews in this time with no calls back. Currently I 'm don't feel that I'm alone in the area that I live in with is in Nort...

Well looking at the other post you have up I assuming your in the state of Indiana. Now I can't speak to what is happening in Indiana. But I can tell that the Northeast in general nursing jobs are for the most part non-existent for new grads. I've...

I just basically working a retail gig for right now. I have applied for "other than nursing" positions in the hospitals around me. But no one has gotten back to me. Also teach some Brazilian Jiu-jitsu on the side. It's tough but I'm getting by.

I'm in the same boat. It about a year since I graduated and as one person posted earlier there are certain states that are really dead for hiring right now. I happen to be in NJ and will totally vouch for that. Look because of economic situations...

I been looking exactly for one year to the day as of this point. I'm a RN (diploma program.) have b.s. in finance as well. none. unless you count an externship that I've done. northern new jersey. 20 mins drive outside time sq...

I live just out side of NYC in N. NJ. I have received all of 2 interview in the past year and no calls back. In one of two interviews I did I found out there were about 40 people vying for 5 positions. Also in all my unsuccessful attempts for em...

Update: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-01-28/u-s-economy-expands-amid-biggest-gains-in-consumer-spending-in-four-years.html 3.2% growth. Not too shabby.

Yeah. I get you on that. I been licensed for just about a year now and I've received nothing in the way of job prospects. I currently working in retail and I sure even if I get a job in nursing I'll be so rusty that I concern that I would just lo...

Honestly, Since I was not part of your nursing program so I don't know what type of information they gave you. But I found that just studying my handouts and slides from class worked better than any outside course I took. Just to let you know I to...

Trust me I know you pain. I've been looking for a job for almost a year now (graduated in Jan 2010 from a Diploma program) and I got no prospects for work anytime soon. After looking at your profile I see your from CA. and from what I got from readin...

Oh yeah OP I get ya. I had to drive to work last night (non-nursing job) and it was not an easy go. Actually I'm pretty use to driving in the snow (I'm a born and breed New Englander) and know how to play with my gears so I can drive/stop safely. But...

very good post overall. i would say that i disagree with the lower wage issue. let me first say that this would only effect new grads not experienced rn. with that said. currently in the area that i'm in (n. nj and nyc metro area).it is so depresse...

Very good posts. It's sad to see that hospital are leaving you nurses with jobs out to hang. Granted alot of businesses out there right now are creating the same environment as you guys are talking about. It's just more saddening to me that this t...

Yep. Totally true. Dead or N. NJ. and CT as well. http://www.oswegohealth.org/careers/job-openings.cfm I maybe able to help a little here. I did recently speak to a recruiter in Oswego hospital, NY. The seem to need people up there. So if you can p...

Wow! That's terrible. I really don't know what to say that others here haven't covered. At least you have the LTC job. I'm sure some time in the future you'll get a chance to actually receive a proper orientation in a hospital.

I don't for sure if I one those considered "entitled" in this tread (I'm assuming I am) New Grads. But let me first off say that the point I was trying to get across to the OP was actually anti-entitlement message. Basically...Yeah it's not the shi...

I'm in line with everyone else so far. Bend over and take it. Or be like me......Working in an unrelated field...and stress a bit over never being hired as a old grad. Basically a lot of new grads aren't being bent over or taking it....they basi...

Congratulations! So hand in your to weeks. Get some sleep tomorrow. And keep moving onward and upward.

Let me ask. Could one approach this situation from the view point of violation of patient rights? I know some people have mention unions and actually for the nursing profession it makes sense in having some rather large regional or national union t...

To be honest. I've been sitting for a year with no job. Now sometime I do get concerned that I may never get hired because I'm a old grad.....But I realize that if/when the general economy turns upward and older or dissatisfied nurses can finally l...
