  1. how did you make it through RN school!

    B52-H replied to ladybugme!'s topic in General Nursing

    Trying to find a job will keep you plenty busy. Trust me I know this sounds like blasphemy but I would rather be back in nursing school than in my present situation

  2. how did you make it through RN school!

    B52-H replied to ladybugme!'s topic in General Nursing

    I lacked the discipline to do it, but my g/f would set a date a couple days/weeks in advance for when she would see her friends or family. Then complete all the future course work, reading and...

    Try this place

  5. LTC, for new grads?

    B52-H replied to DedHedRN's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely do your research on the facility/company and take a tour if possible. Inquire about duration and quality of the job orientation/mentoring. Nothing to gain from employment if it puts your...

  6. what is the best state for a new RN grad to find employment

    B52-H replied to im_melba's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Some of the places that keep coming up over and over again in my job feed are Minnesota and the Dakotas. If you are willing to relocate and don't mind icicles forming on your eyelashes, you should...

  7. are jobs on craigslist legitimate?

    B52-H replied to sallyjane's topic in General Nursing

    Approach everything on craigslist with skepticism. The last response I received for employment asked me to go to a website and complete a credit check as a requirement for accepting the position. The...

  8. *UNEMPLOYED NURSES*

    B52-H replied to bree*'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think you might have a tough time selling that point of view to people who love nursing but cannot find work because they have been out of school over a year. Most hospitals are asking that you have...

  9. Trying to get hired....

    B52-H replied to germanshep's topic in General Nursing

    None of the branches are accepting new graduate nurses until the next fiscal year. They are stocked up new grads

  10. Trying to get hired....

    B52-H replied to germanshep's topic in General Nursing

    California is probably the worst place to look for a new grad opening. If I could, I would flee from this state and its wretched

  11. Whats going on at CSULB - Long Beach?

    B52-H replied to flyingfish2u's topic in California Nursing

    ***Old Thread.

  12. How to get a job with these online nursing applications screened by HR?!

    B52-H replied to NICU<3RN's topic in Nursing Career

    I have done the same thing many times. In these tough times you have to be unconventional and pull out all the stops. Give the manager a call. What's the worse that could happen? They say no thanks?...

  13. To Wear Scrubs or To Not Wear Scrubs? That is the question.

    B52-H replied to cna23's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Maybe she is interviewing for the same job and is setting you up lol . Really bad idea, dress

  14. Hiring question

    B52-H replied to new_worker's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    My advice is not to feed trolls; they thrive on getting a rise out of people. Going back to school may or may not be the best decision. Depending on how long it will take, you have to consider if...

  15. Waiting for NCLEX-RN Results in CA

    B52-H replied to fireline's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It all depends on how fast your school sends out the transcripts really. I had my license in 2 weeks after taking the NCLEX in CA. If you find out the school is dragging their feet, then you can...

  16. Anyone Graduated from Azusa Pacific Accelerated BSN in San Diego?

    B52-H replied to Taylo040's topic in California Nursing

    I would take the longer of the programs you are looking at. Being able to ride out the bad economy while in school is better than graduating quickly and starting the timer on student loan repayments...

  17. *UNEMPLOYED NURSES*

    B52-H replied to bree*'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Right after graduation some of my friends went directly into an MSN program. Its very difficult to find work as an NP if you have no clinical experience whatsoever. Be like a doctor that never...

  18. *UNEMPLOYED NURSES*

    B52-H replied to bree*'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    i meant the large amount of the public that is supposed to be retiring now (baby boomers etc) not nurses. i do agree that most of these people will probably not retire because retirements took a huge...

  19. *UNEMPLOYED NURSES*

    B52-H replied to bree*'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Random thought occurred to me while watching Animal Planet channel. I know the government has given millions of dollars in stimulus money to various industries to create innovation and jobs. Couldn't...

  20. Questions about job searching

    B52-H replied to jorjaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Ahhhh yes. The good ol' ultimatum. We meet

  21. Help! How to stay sane during depressing job-hunt?

    B52-H replied to mnf4ever's topic in Nursing Career

    I know how you feel. It only really gets tiresome for me when I constantly have family members call or email to tell me about all the nursing jobs they found online. None of which I qualify for lol....

  22. Can I work as a CNA?

    B52-H replied to ocmama's topic in California Nursing

    From my understanding they really don't like to hire RNs to work "below" their license level because they may step outside of the guidelines set for that position and/or they are unwilling to accept...

  23. *UNEMPLOYED NURSES*

    B52-H replied to bree*'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I agree completely, granted I was limited to only southern California for rotations, but I only once thought to myself "Wow how old is she and how long has she been working

  24. *UNEMPLOYED NURSES*

    B52-H replied to bree*'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    This is how I see the future nursing crisis everyone keeps talking about turning out: Either It turns out to be like Y2K. Lots of hype, wild predictions and panic, but passes by without much of a...

    RN-BSN in Southern California, Orange County. Graduated in August 2010 and passed boards in October. 214 applications in state and out; no calls, no interviews. Even the military is full for the...
