  1. Nursing Shortage: when is it going to happen??

    JoblessNewGradRN replied to rnintwo's topic in General Nursing

    Amen! I still don't think there is a shortage. It's all a lie. When it comes down to it, health care is a business and hospitals will make do with what they have. I have seen this firsthand in a...

  2. Becoming an NP with little to no nursing experience??

    JoblessNewGradRN replied to Blurr156's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hi everyone, I posted a comment on a post and didn't get any comments on why advanced practice nurses (NPs in particular) need to have years of RN experience to be hire-able or gain the respect of...

  3. Licensure by Endorsement...timing?

    JoblessNewGradRN replied to hiddencatRN's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    The problem is you probably won't get considered for a job in NJ if you don't already have a NJ RN license. You may not make it through the auto sifter. Goes something like this: RN? check! Hours of...

  4. Jobs for experienced adn?

    JoblessNewGradRN replied to mclovin's topic in New York Nursing

  5. RN new graduate finding jobs in new york

    JoblessNewGradRN replied to truenurse's topic in New York Nursing

  6. Nursing Shortage: when is it going to happen??

    JoblessNewGradRN replied to rnintwo's topic in General Nursing

    There is NO nursing shortage. Nursing is NOT recession proof. It might be easier for a new grad nursing major to find a job nowadays than let's say an English or History major, but all new grads are...

  7. More questions, this time not medical! =-)

    JoblessNewGradRN replied to Celt42's topic in General Nursing

    JoblessNewGradRN replied to pansyrose's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  9. Would love realistic advice/alternatives for prospective BSN student with bad back

    JoblessNewGradRN replied to wishinandhopin's topic in General Nursing

  10. Jobs for experienced adn?

    JoblessNewGradRN replied to mclovin's topic in New York Nursing

    If you can't get a job with 3 years experience, then I don't know how any new grads (ADN or BSN) can land a job nowadays. What kind of experience do you have and are you applying for the right jobs?...

    JoblessNewGradRN replied to CRNBSN18's topic in General Students

    JoblessNewGradRN replied to wishinandhopin's topic in General Nursing

    JoblessNewGradRN replied to Guest27531's topic in New York Nursing
