    KJM-RN replied to PurpleDelight's topic in New York Nursing

    North Shore LIJ picks candidates based on the order they received the application and on a candidates credentials. They also don't pick candidates based off of knowing someone, I have 2 REALLY good...

    wouldn't it be easier

    KJM-RN replied to mvm2's topic in General Nursing

    I just graduated with an adn, which took me 2 years to get because I had to take a certain class to move onto the next even though I was only taking 8-12 credits at a time. Before entering the...

    New Grad: feeling defeated

    KJM-RN replied to maine28's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I agree. I'm not sure how personally handing in a résumé will "ruin" your chances. Maybe it won't get you anywhere, but at least you tried. Definitely can't imagine a manager not picking an...

    KJM-RN replied to KJM-RN's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Thanks so much for the advice. I'd actually prefer to live in the suburbs anyway. I'll take a look now that you've given me a starting point. I'm interested in Maryland and Delaware. Thanks...

    New grad with no nursing experience besides school?

    KJM-RN replied to studentnurse9806's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Of course you can find a job. Many new grads have no experience other than an unrelated healthcare job, just make sure to highlight customer service and good work ethics as selling points in your...

    NCSBN Learning Ext course

    KJM-RN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have gone through the 2013-2014 Kaplan book and did very well on their tests (70's-90's). I am still doing questions out of the LaCharity book. I also have the blue Saunders Q&A book, but...

    Following up with Nurse Managers

    KJM-RN replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Ok once explained this makes a lot of sense and sounds like a good idea. I'd be interested in doing something like this for a few positions I've applied to. I'm also considering volunteering on...

    New Grad: feeling defeated

    KJM-RN replied to maine28's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I never apply to postings that say "experience required", I don't want to bog down the system when I know I'm not qualified. I apply if it says "experience preferred" because I feel I could still...

    KJM-RN replied to maine28's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I've been going through the same thing, graduated in May, as well. I'm anxious to begin my career and am bored sitting at home trying to find a job. I've gone to every hospital to hand them my...

    Applying to 'no experience necessary' jobs and being rejected for lack of experience?

    KJM-RN replied to moodyred01's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'd be interested in starting as a new grad in LTC if I know I would get relevant experience and be able to transition to a hospital in a year or two. I've thus far been avoiding applying to LTC...

    New grads and ACLS

    KJM-RN posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Just curious how many fellow NY new grad RN's have taken ACLS before being hired? I passed the boards a few weeks ago and have been applying endlessly to any and all positions I am eligible for within...

    Applying to 'no experience necessary' jobs and being rejected for lack of experience?

    KJM-RN replied to moodyred01's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    The residency programs in my area are only open to BSN prepared new graduates or BSN experienced RN's looking to transfer into the specialty of the residency. Possibly this is the case with your area...

    What do you need when you start applying for RN positions?

    KJM-RN replied to Clo611's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    At my school we have a file with reference letters that we obtained throughout nursing school from professors. I was sure to ask each professor at the end of the semester to add a letter to my file,...

    Following up with Nurse Managers

    KJM-RN replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm not really sure of the answer, but I think weekly is probably a bit much unless they seemed super interested and a week later you wanted to give them a call to see where they're at. How did you...

    New grad RN and dialysis

    KJM-RN replied to KJM-RN's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Thanks so much, that link was really helpful. Dialysis sounds really interesting to me, I think I'd be happy there if given the chance. Far from my specialty of choice (NICU), but who knows where...

    KJM-RN replied to Keseratops's topic in General Nursing

    I'm really sorry about your experience. I'm a recently graduated/licensed RN trying to land an interview and job. I desperately need a job as well. What is a battery exam? I've never heard of...

    Would you buy a Littman stethoscope or the recommended stethoscope from bookstore?

    KJM-RN replied to GodIs082010's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I don't think the BP cuff is to bring to the hospital, but rather to use for practice. I purchased one just to practice at home, probably didn't even need to, but it made me feel more comfortable my...

    KJM-RN replied to AFwife727's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I haven't received a job yet, but I only passed the boards a few weeks ago. I have driven to many hospitals to drop off my cover letter/resume. I am sometimes turned away and told to apply online...
