I am sorry to heard that, but I understand your situation. I haven't had too much luck finding a job either, and my friends from school are in the same boat...no jobs, or if any luck we get only prn jobs for new grads and of course not a chance to work in hospitals and even at doctor's office...

Maybe, because I am a new Rn (working LTC) and I haven't being able to find the job I really would like (reserch, OR, psych). Hopefully economy improves, I get some experience and in a yr or so I can get a better job... then, when this happen, I will have a better or more accurate answer for "Do you like nursing better?"...right now, I am not enjoy nursing. I am glad, I am not working full time.

Miteacher, I was a teacher for over 10 years. At the beginning of my teaching career, I really enjoyed it, but after 6 or 7 yrs, I got tired of dealing with children and parents. I went back to school, got my Rn degree last year. I just started working 3-4 months ago...If I knew how hard is the physical, mental and emotional work of a nurse, I would have never, never became a nurse. I love the knowledge I have r/t our bodies, disease, treatments, etc, but I hate how overworked, tired, and under paid feeling...and even more when you are a new grad. Being a teacher is a piece of cake, at least for me it was.

Mudder, I don't know you personally but you are the best. It is so nice of you of helping without knowing any of us. Thanks again. :bow:

Hi Mudder, I an a new grad and I will start (in a week) working in a flex position in LTC, in the sub acute rehab unit with 20 patients. I am very nervous about this new job. Could you be kind and email me the "to do list" you have made too? It would be a life saver for me. I am new in this site, so I am not familiar in how send you an email. Thanks in advanced.
