    mnf4ever posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    mnf4ever posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I work on a med/surg tele unit and worked damn hard to land my first job with the constant rejection of new grads, bad economy, and "come back when you have 1 year of experience" line. I was so, so,...

    mnf4ever replied to mnf4ever's topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks guys. I just found out that I've been accepted, but it seems like they've "clarified" some things during the interview that was quite different from what they said over the phone. For...

    mnf4ever replied to winzer's topic in Nursing Career

    mnf4ever replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    mnf4ever replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    To my understanding, the bigger hospitals in my area that either have Magnet status or working towards it, mostly hire BSNs over ADNs. I've been told by nurse recruiters that they are willing to...
