I recently applied to NMH. I noticed when I applied, the only attachment included was my resume. For some reason it did not attach my cover letter and reference letters that I have attached in my online profile. Anyone know if there is anyway to inc...

Im interested in learning more about ACLS certification. Who can take this class, how long is it, how much, etc. Can student nurses or new graduate nurses take this class?

Hello everyone, Here is my dilemma. I graduated in May with a BSN, passed NCLEX, still looking to land my first job as many other new grads are. My goal is to work in acute care, preferably on a med-surg or tele floor. I have put out 100s of applic...

I have an interview coming up for a "New Grad Float Pool" position. Its a registry position, no benefits, 24.50/hr which is 3$ lower than what I was offered at a different interview for a non-registry position. Anyone have experience working registr...

Hello, Im almost certain I forgot to chart an antibiotic that I gave IVPB last night. My question is, when I go to work tomorrow AM, can I chart it then, or how do I go about this?

Thanks for your responses! I literally woke up in the middle of the night and thought Oh Crap! Now I can't stop thinking about it on my day off! I will check the chart first thing tomorrow, assuming the patient is still on the unit.

I was currently hired at a great medical center with a new grad residency program. However I was hired part time (32 hours/week). I would really like to be full time. When is it Ok to ask my manager to add more hours in order to become FT? I haven't ...

Every place is different. Generally a phone call is good news, a letter or email is bad news. At my job I got a call 3 days after interview which is very fast. I got another offer one week after interview. And for two other interviews that I did not ...

I would start applying now. Some new grad programs have deadlines for applications that may end before you graduate. I waited too long and ended up missing deadlines for some great residency programs. Also, if you are not a PCT/CNA already I would re...

There are no benefits, and the pay is 3$ less than what I was offered at a different hospital I interviewed for (I didnt get the job). From my understanding, I thought registry nurses made more. Im not so concerned with floating to other units, I kn...

Ive tried some of these strategies and have not been as fortunate as the OP. Ive emailed contacts Ive gained at hospitals I want to work at, and it usually ends with an email from them saying "Ive forwarded your information to so and so" and I never ...

Hello everyone, Here is my dilemma. I graduated in May with a BSN, passed NCLEX, still looking to land my first job as many other new grads are. My goal is to work in acute care in a hospital, preferably on a med-surg or tele floor. I have put out 1...

SO typical new grad here. Graduated in May, Licensed in Aug. Still no job.... My question is what else can I do to make myself more marketable? I have gotten ACLS certification, taken an ECG course (I want a job in telemetry), I have applied to every...

Thanks for all your input. Dialysis nursing is definitely not where I saw myself, however I will go to the interview with an open mind and see how it is. I was hoping this would be a job where I could work, while still applying to hospitals where I w...

I recently had an interview this past Friday for a position I had previously interviewed for a few months ago. Again I did not get the job. I feel so down and discouraged. Back to square one and I dont know where to begin anymore. I have literally ap...

I agree. You should stick to one study tool and be consistent. I used Kaplan and found that to be very similar to NCLEX, the practice tests even look the same. I did practice questions everyday, and read every rationale. I looked up any answers I got...

I have been looking into volunteering at different places. The health department has volunteer opportunities specifically for RNs - doing RN tasks, so it is hands on RN experience. I have also applied at Immunization Clinics to give flu shots. It is ...

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. My goal is to work in the NICU, however for now my goal is to obtain a med-surg position since that is where the majority of my clinical experience is. Im not sure if I should delete my previous work experien...

I am having the same dilemma. Despite graduating from the best nursing school in my state with a great GPA, I still have no prior hospital experience beside clinical rotations in school. I have probably put out at least 50 apps since I graduated in M...

Hello, I was wondering how long it generally takes to receive your official pass letter from the BON after passing NCLEX. I took NCLEX on July 8th, found out I passed via quick results on the 10th. I know the website says within a month, however so...

I got the dreaded "we have decided to pursue candidates whose skills and abilities more closely align with our current needs" email. This was my dream job!! I know there are many factors that play into my rejection, for example, I am a new grad who ...

I made it past the phone interview, interview with the nurse manager and charge nurse, and was offered an opportunity to shadow sometime next week. The manager told me I would not be performing any patient care. She also said I may wear professiona...

I was told to wear scrubs... the only scrubs I own are my nursing school scrubs that say my schools name on them, would these be appropriate scrubs to wear??

I had a phone interview last week, an in person interview this past Friday, and I am scheduled to have a shadow interview this week. When should I send a thank you card? Should I send a thank you to the manager I interviewed with before I go to the s...
