finallyRN7 BSN

Thanks to everyone for all of the insight. I've definitely done some research in addition to taking account of what you guys have had to say. The program to me sounded too good to be true, and I've learned within the short time on this earth that if ...

GrnTea, Thanks for responding. A traveler nurse is out of the question for me as well. To travel and practice nursing requires EXPERIENCE and proper training. No company is going to send me out to a facility to practice without preparation, nor would...

I'm going through a separation, eventually divorce and would oh so love to move out/away so the time can start ticking for my divorce to happen. This move can only happen (since leaving my kids aren't an option) once I find a stable job and have a su...

Been there, done that, The only problem with that is, I will be thrown out to the wolves. Temporary employment agencies are for nurses who ALREADY HAVE EXPERIENCE. An agency expects one to be able to hit the ground running once they give you an assig...

Thanks everyone. This was good info.

Meriwhen, that's exactly right. My area is pure crap for new opportunities for new RNs. I've come up with nearly desperate ideas to find good employment. It'll be two years this May since graduating with my AAS. Feeling like the degree is worthless a...

Calling all nurses who work for Veteran Affairs (VA)...I've heard that the VA can take a while to hire a nurse once the candidate initially applies. I don't always believe what I hear, and I know some situations may be random ones. So, I'd like to re...

It's approaching two years since I graduated from nursing school in May 2010. I've been job hunting for my first job for an entire year. I've applied to hundreds of positions, but have only landed 3 interviews. I have held off going back to get my BS...

I'm currently in central Virginia. I've been applying out of state as well because I'm definitely willing to relocate.

I've been offered to interview for a new grad position at Healthsouth and will eventually be working nights. The only problem I have is that the job is 2 hours away. I really don't see myself commuting that far everyday unless I could strictly be off...

Would it be a bad thing to request a telephonic interview when a potential employer calls?? I mean, considering my state of unemployment, whether flying out to one or driving will cost mucho dinero. I suppose it wouldn't hurt much to at least ask for...

Okay guys, I think I may have found the answers to all my questions. In case anyone else is interested, the website is www.ncsbn.org/nlc This website contains the fact sheet for licensees and nursing students regarding the Nurse Licensure Compact (NL...

Okay, since I didn't get many responses at all from my previous question, I'll ask it in a different way. Has anyone of you who is a RN with a multi-state license ever been hired and relocated from one compact state to another compact state and then...

So, do you now have 2 licenses in the states of Florida and New York? Because I know that neither Florida or New York is a compact state. Thanks.

Did you eventually lose your VA license once it expired, or did you have the option to keep it current and therefore have 2 licenses, VA and MD? I know that VA and MD are both compact states.

Thanks guys for your feedback! This has helped to boost my confidence to go ahead and apply for and get a multi-state license!! Thanks again, and blessings to you! :)

Umm...one has to come on in and actually READ my thread before REPLYING. So, perhaps if one doesn't reply to it, I'll assume because they plain and simple aren't interested in doing so. I'll assume that this applies to you. Thanks for visiting .

I've been in the process for several months trying to get my first job as a new RN. I've applied to numerous positions locally as well as out of state. I don't have a multi-state license, but I figure if I did, that it would help my prospects of gett...

It won't cost anything additional to apply for a multi-state licensure where I am.

As a new graduate, I am considering the thought of applying for a telemetry position. The job posting stated that they would consider a new graduate. Before I apply, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me exactly what the job duties of a telemetry nurse...

What can anyone tell me about western Kentucky? What are the areas around Hopkinsville like? I'd like to know about Hopkinsville, Russellville, and Princeton. Which area is best to raise small kids, and what are the best schools? Thanks.

Ok, new nurse grad here : So what do OR and ER fall under if not nursing admin??

Oh my goodness, I truly feel your frustration. I'm also a ADN nurse graduate and have been looking for employment for 6 months as well. I've also considered going back to get my BSN and I researched alot of online RN-BSN programs. The ones I found th...

Thanks guys. This information was very helpful.

What's it like to live in Murfreesboro, TN? So far, I've heard that's it's a nice city. I think it's about a 30 min drive from Nashville. I'm willing to relocate to a few states for an RN position and TN is one of them. I'm not a city person at all a...
