  1. I'm sure this topic has come up before but I wanted to hear opinions from other travelers. So I started a contract on December 28,2015 at a hospital in Grand Forks, ND. I signed up to work on a 55 bed Cardiac unit. I was told during the interview tha...
  2. Missing a class for CA license

    Well I applied for license by endorsement to California. I though everything was going great because they issued my Temp license on 5/4/15 but now today I get a notice saying I'm missing an oral communication class and that I can't get my permanent l...
  3. Epic training

    Just wondering if there is anyway to get Epic training if you don't work in a facility that uses it. I'm getting shut out of some great travel jobs because I have never used it before.

  6. Nurse Supervisor References

    Today, I called up a travel nursing company and told the recruiter I was interested in going to Louisiana for a first time travel assignment since I have all my family there. Everything was going well until they wanted supervisor references. I was ho...
  7. Nurse Supervisor References

    I asked about other types of references and the agency said it had to be only a direct supervisor. Too bad because I have plenty of coworkers and doctors that can give me rave reviews. They said they just wanted to ask her a few questions about my sk...
  8. Our Lady of the Lake Hospital

    I am a new grad trying to get a job at this hospital and I can't seem to get anywhere with them despite having my application there since Jan. 18th. I have called and visited HR at a job fair to see if that might help but nothing. Right now they have...
  9. So I have been an RN since March 2011. In Sept. 2011, I moved 1,600 miles to get a new grad job in a clinic ( that is all they would offer) . I got a sign on bonus and had to sign a one year contract. After about 7 months I asked if I could transfer ...
  10. I hate my job and I can't get out.

    All the nurses on my unit are fairly new. No one has more than 2 yrs. experience except for the nurse managers. I left the clinic because I wanted to get acute care experience and I was afraid of getting stuck in one area early in my career. The clin...
  11. Just hired at Trinity

    I'm moving out there this week and I got hired through an agency. Even they could not find me a hotel room or apartment. Housing is tight but if you look everyday on Craigslist, or Roomates.com you can probably find something. I found someone on room...
  12. I'm going to be moving to Minot at the end of Sept. for a job with Trinity and I was wondering if anyone else was moving around the same time or already in Minot and looking for a room mate.

  14. I'm a Dec. 2010 grad and could not find any job locally and I felt like I was running out of time before I was no longer employable Well I applied to a job in Minot, ND through a recruiting firm. I never thought I would move from the south but this w...
  15. Did you get hired through an agency or directly by the hospital ? I have heard that even the hotels have no availability till at least Sept. 18th I got hired through an agency and they told me that the hospital has apartments and its 950 a month for ...
  16. Yes I will be in the Oct. 3rd Orientation. I will be working a rotating position in the clinics. I'm thinking about getting up there at least a week before to find a place. It's kind of scary because many places won't rent to you unless you are in pe...
  17. I currently live in Louisiana and after months of applying it looks like my best bet is to move away to another state. The problem is I don't know of any states or cities where it is easier to find work. I read posts about North Dakota and some citie...
  18. If I do happen to find something in another state is it best to wait till I have a job offer before I try to get a license in that state ? Louisiana is not a compact state so I'm guessing in most states it will take about a month to get a license the...
  19. I looked into that but I was wondering how competitive it is to get in there.
  20. I am a new grad who has had trouble finding a job so my husband said he would talk to a friend of his that has connections to see if he could get me a job. I was optimistic about the idea and emailed the man my resume to pass along. Today he sends me...
  21. What is wrong with people ?

    My resume never had that objective. That is the one he wanted me to put. My object was this : OBJECTIVE: To obtain a position as a registered nurse
  22. What is wrong with people ?

    I did not edit my objective the way he wanted and I never would put personal info out there like that. I was so upset because I'm trying everything to get a job and I think he is just getting a laugh at my expense. I was crying my eyes out because I ...
  23. Can anyone tell me where they are still hiring new grads. It's six months into my job search and I have applied all over with not one call back.
