I completely agree with guilty sins

hahaha omg that is soooo crazy!! i dont know what i would do if i saw that

oh yes that definitely sounds like you got the job because what employer would call and waste their time on telling you you're not hired?? I'm sure you definitely Good luck!!

Those are really helpful acronyms!!

purplenomad omg that is sooo digusting!!!!! how the heck did that happen!

Omg that's crazy but i definitely believe. I have worked in LTC facilites as an aide since 2003, and I have seen how many patients nurses can get. During the day there would be two nurses on a floor of 40+ patients, during the evenings and nights it was one nurse. I'm waiting for this psych position to call me back. I called them today just to follow up on my interview status I had last friday because I know for fact their orientation is much, much longer!!

one of my male friends from school got hired very quickly within two week of taking the nclex. but he had also worked for that hospital for a number of years as an aide and I did go to school in IL at the time. But overall, I have heard good things about male nurses that a lot of places want males because in nursing there are so many females!!!! Just put in as many applications as you can.

I used that pearson vue trick as well when i passed because i was freaking out and for me it definitely worked. it kinda makes sense because if you passed why the heck would they make you reregister to take the exam. plus dont feel bad because you had 265 one of my friends had 265 and she passed. after all is done and you pass, trust me you're not gonna even remember how many questions you had as long as you pass!!!!!!

Yea, thanks so much for the info imelissa1!!! I thought the same exact thing when you were saying about videos and compliancy tests as well!! But no!!! I asked the director and she said it would just be three days on the floor! I was like whoaaaa!!! OMG!!! thats crazy. She also said that that nursing homes don't hire new grads because it's a big cost to the facility. Im like you idiot then why the hell are you hiring me!! She told me she would call me back about the benefits and hasn't called back since yesterday afternoon and she wanted me to start tomorrow, thursday and friday!. I've been thinking about this all last night and honestly the pay is not worth it to me to have such a little orienttation. Also she did no inform me on what the nurse/pt ratio was yesterday I totally forgot to ask her. So i tried to called the director today and couldnt get a hold of her. At this point I don't even care because if they really want me they would call and plus I would just tell them forget it!!!! Thanks for the advice :)

I would highly, HIGHLY recommend you submitting a cover letter with each resume you send out. It will definitely make a difference you an employer is considering you for an interview. you can certainly google new rn grad cover and you can find a lot of sample cover letters. Hope that helps!!

Hey no problem, I would give you my email but I dont think I can through replying to posts, because it says you can't give your personal information.

Hey Fullefect1, I was trying to message you but I think I have to have a certain number of replies before I do. I also don't think i can give the name of the places but I can say the LTC is in cambridge and the other in belmont.

Hi Everyone, I just moved to mass and I recently just got a job at a LTC facility/Rehab 10 mins away I live. First of all the interview was a joke because they never even really interviewed me but just asked me what shift I prefer, and if i want f/t, p/t etc. As well as when I would be able to start. The same day (today) they called me back to offer me the position but the only problem is their orientation is only 3DAYS!!! I'm like wow! I already accepted the job because starting salary is $32 an hour! I also just went on an interview at a psych hospital and their starting salary was 24.50,(both pays are not including differentials) with much more orientation, this psych place is literally 5 mins away from me. My question is, is that really enough time only 3 days of orientation as a a new grad???? I feel as though that is nearly not enough orientation for a new grad. I need help I had already said I would take their offer but I'm honestly wondering is the money even worth it or should I just go with the psych hospital to which I know my orientation will be longer but my pay is less. I am sooooooooooooooooooo nervous as all heck to start a position as to where I only have 3 days orientation, also I wouldn't even be on a a specific floor everyday but like a float which makes it that much harder because I have to get to know so many patients. I'm seriously about to forget about the LTC facility and just go with the psych position. BUT IS THAT WORTH IT? IS THE PAY WORTH IT? HELP I'M SO NERVOUS I'M SUPPOSED TO START ORIENTATION THIS WEDNESDAY!!! Thanks everyone!!!
